is this too little or too much value for a $2,000 a month retainer?
I’m looking at pricing tiers (with some help from past Reddit threads and posters) and I’m proposing this for $2,000 a month. Is it too much? Not enough?
– 2 x content ideation (based on search volume and gap analysis) and development. 2 blogs basically, either on client’s site or as part of a guest blog arrangement. 8 hours.
– Linkbuilding prospecting and outreach. Any paid links over-and-above extra cost and discussed with client. 10 hours.
– Technical liaison with client’s web dev. Working through tech or on-page issues resulting from SEO audit. 5 hours.
– 1 x keyword-rich page based on thematic group of keywords. 3 hours.
– Reporting, health-checks and recommendations. Includes link monitoring, competitors, website health (GSC), keyword tracking, all the automated stuff. 2 hours.
– Client meeting. 1 hour.I’m only charging $70 per hour right now, and all this works out to just over $2k. I’m sure there’s some things here people could say they could do much faster, but this is where I feel comfortable. I’m particularly gash at the content-writing part. I have no idea how people churn out high-value, original, thought-leadership blogs in under a few hours. The content development I just outsource and make a small margin on.
Thanks!
