SEO professionals and Internet marketing consultants don’t always agree on SEO pricing and budgeting, but on average the SEO budget recommendation works out to 4 - 5 times the cost of the website. In other words, if a company’s annual website budget is $10,000.00, SEO and Internet marketing should be between $40,000.00 and $50,000.00.
Most website owners have it exactly in reverse. They’ll invest only a paltry 5 to 10% into SEO and Internet marketing. The results will almost certainly be disastrous. The most drop-dead-gorgeous Webby award winning website without traffic is like having boxes of Clio award winning four color glossy brochures stacked neatly in the storage closet.

Small companies often feel they can’t afford to invest in SEO. They’ll build a budget site for three thousand and then throw a few dollars after it with a $19.95 site submission package. What they should have done is invest $500.00 into the site and $2,500.00 into SEO and Internet marketing, developing the backlinks that provide a top-5 ranking on Google, Yahoo Search and MSN Search. Even a butt-ugly website (while not recommended) with a steady flow of qualified traffic will always outperform the pretty site with little or no traffic.
