How much does SEO cost in Dubai? Simple SEO Cost Breakdown Guide
For any business just starting with SEO, one of the most common questions is how much it will cost to optimize the website. When you go out and start looking for a price, you will find an SEO freelancer charging 800 AED, and on the other side, another freelancer charging double.
A similar thing goes with the SEO agency, the price gap difference is quite big, and then you start doubting whether the agency charging higher than they are simply a fraud or a deceiver. However, the truth is completely different.
People often get confused who should we hire and how much it is going to actually cost. Today, with this blog, I will guide you step by step with the breakdown of the SEO cost that will help you learn about all the SEO factors involved and how much you should pay.
Note: If you hire an SEO freelancer or agency just based on the price, then you will definitely lose money.
Let’s dissect everything and understand the SEO cost:
Scope of Work:
Local SEO:
If you are running a local business and want to promote yourself through Google Business Profile, then definitely the charges are going to relatably lower. The reason is that when you are optimizing for a specific location, the competition gets low, and it also doesn’t ask for that much effort.
For a normal Local SEO package, a good freelancer charges between 800 and 1200 AED. This is how much you should pay if you have a normal 8-10 pages website and operate within a specific location.
Service-Based Website:
For businesses offering service across the city or the state, the charges will be moderate. Since there will be so many location pages, and doing the SEO of those pages will require more effort, the charges will be relatively higher. For a website that offers service across a city or state, the charges will be somewhere between 2000 and 3000 AED.
E-commerce Website:
Since e-commerce websites have a lot of pages and it requires a completely different approach, the cost of E-commerce Website SEO comes between 3000 to 6000 AED.
The technical SEO optimization plays a crucial role in the optimization of E-commerce websites, so the charges are justifiable. You optimize the product pages, category pages and also tag pages. The scope of work gets broader in e-commerce website optimization.
Supplement Services Inclusion:
The SEO cost does not solely depend upon the scope of work, but additional services play an important role in deciding the prices and figuring out the real cost. You will find an agency or freelancer offering SEO services in Dubai for just 500 AED and later you will know that there is no website maintenance or any certain amount of content added into the package.
They charge separately for these services. So, by the time it requires content or website maintenance because of the additional charges of these services, it is going to cost extra.
When you are hiring any SEO agency or an SEO freelancer in Dubai just make sure to receive a detailed quotation from them that lets you know the breakdown of services. If the website maintenance or the content is not included in the quotation, ask them how much it is going to cost separately.
Compare the final prices with the company quotation that is offering a service in which content and maintenance is also included.
This way, you have a better idea about how much it is going to actually cost to optimize the website. The content and SEO go hand in hand, so you will definitely need the content in your optimization journey. So, clear the content prices before it comes as a shock.
Level of Knowledge / Experience
When working with any SEO freelancer, always make sure to check the portfolio before handing over your project. You want your project to be in safe hands, with a person having deep knowledge and have already ranked websites on the search engines.
If you handover your project to a person who has started 1-2 years back and doesn’t know how search engines work, how to handle the regular algorithm updates, and what changes do I need to make regularly to grow the website, your website optimization work can turn into a big disaster.
Always make sure that the person is qualified, experienced and can handle the job easily. When you go out and start looking for an SEO freelancer, you will find so many people with zero to little knowledge, claiming to be an expert, are offering attractive prices for SEO. An experienced SEO expert in Dubai will definitely cost more, but it is worth investing in.
Conclusion:
It’s time to sum up this article! So, when it comes to the SEO price, it depends upon how experienced and qualified the person is, what the scope of work is, and what additional services are included along with SEO, such as content, website maintenance and so on.
For a website operating locally, the charges will be somewhere between 800-1200 AED, for a medium-sized business, the prices will be somewhere between 2000 to 3000 AED and the price for a large e-commerce website, the charges will be 3000 to 6000 AED.
