Fixed Price SEO Reports
Having worked with many clients, here at SEO Brokers we realise that one of the biggest challenges faced - is internally explaining the role of SEO and its significance versus other forms of marketing, both online and offline. The following information is therefore designed to help build your SEO business case.....
Having a high profile online presence is now more important than ever before - whilst two thirds of sales are still concluded by traditional means (such as good old fashioned meetings, by post or telephone) an ever increasing proportion of sales leads are now originating online, even for higher value business to business products and services.
To get these results for your business, it's vital to be placed within the top three pages of the leading search engines (as 90% of website users will not click any deeper and in fact over 60% only search on page 1 of the results).
The most usual way to get onto Page 1, of say Google, is by outbidding rivals via PayPerClick (PPC) advertising. However, with only around 23% of searchers clicking on the paid adverts (as against 77% that prefer to click on the natural listings on the left of the results page) SEO should deliver a ROI around 300% better than PPC.
And because 7 advertisers are chasing PPC slots for every single business chasing the comparable (but larger) entry on the left hand natural listings, the spend disparity for PPC over SEO is in the ratio of around 22:1.
In other words, on average every pound or dollar invested chasing potential customers via SEO would be being chased by around £22 or $22 in Pay Per Click advertising - does that sound like a good value business case or not?
In summary, a SEO strategy should deliver a better ROI for you, but the business case doesn't end there. Whilst other forms of advertising are generally "one-hit" affairs: in that your budget buys customers just once and when it's gone its gone and your sales pipeline stops when the budget stops - with Search Engine Optimisation your budget is much more like a long term investment. Budget spent today could still be driving customers to your website, months or years later so it is much more of a strategic investment, further improving the long-term ROI.
