What moves the number
- Local versus national. One city is a different job from a competitive national term.
- How many locations, and whether each needs its own pages.
- The condition of the site. A replatform is not an SEO retainer.
- How much content is included, and whether digital PR is in the fee.
Compare proposals on the same written scope. A lower monthly number that excludes production, media or the person who does the work is not a lower price.
