To give you an idea of how much a web site marketing specialist is going to cost you, here are a few details regarding one I checked out in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, which is the closest large city in my area. From their website I gathered they specialized in search engine optimization and pay per click services. When I inquired regarding their services this was the reply, “Our services varied in pricing depending on the complexity of the project and overall competitive landscape. A typical consultation and site optimization ranges from $2,500 – $10,000 and ongoing management services range from $500-$5000 a month.”

Perhaps you’d feel more relaxed knowing exactly how effective the SEO is that you are doing. The drawback is time. It does take time to learn effective SEO but there are also the free marketing methods that have potential to generate consistent traffic and once there are always there, like articles and videos. In finding a training program online that has marketing training accessible 24/7 would allow you to learn free and paid marketing tactics, as you made time still allowing you flexibility to attend to other parts of business as necessary.
