SEO Web Design from the same vendor |
Advantage |
| Initial cost for web design only |
You can often find web design solutions at lower cost from inexpensive vendors | Bundled solution is not the cheapest solution | Separate vendors |
| Cost for SEO services |
There are many SEO vendors out there. Some are excellent but expensive (consider $2,000+ for just a report or $5,000 plus for a single link baiting activity and up to $500/hr). There also are many low quality vendors. Some promise to submit your URL to 100's of sites/directories for as $10. Others guarantee top search results. These low cost vendors will often do more harm than good and should be avoided |
The cost for SEO services is going to depend on the level of quality and experience of the vendor. As a result, your costs will depend on the type of vendor with whom you decide to work. |

| Additional costs to rework website design & to implement SEO structure & keyword optimization |
This is where you might end up shelling out some heavy-duty time, effort, and money. Reworking existing websites for SEO can be costly especially if the structure is not and cannot be easily made search engine friendly (SEF). In that case, you might have to create the website all over again. Ouch! |
None. Costs are already included in the package. And, there are no needs to overhaul your design. |
Same vendor |
| Time required to implement SEO & web design |
Collaborating between two separate vendors or having them collaborate will consume significant time. Web designer or the SEO consultant may not understand each others' challenges and needs well. |
Experienced with working on such projects, SEO Web Design service providers collaborate in-house and make sure the projects are run as efficiently as possible |
