Hi All,

I have been doing affiliate marketing for a few years now and decided to venture into local marketing after i was approached by a local plumber I know. I feel there is a HUGE opportunity in this market especially after hearing that Yellow book charges 1k/mo for seo services!!!

Like Many small business owners he sees his competition moving up the ranks and taking away more of his business. Tired of spending 25k per year on Yellow book he decided to ask me for some help.

After a lengthy discussion on how search engines, social media and PPC work he decided he wants it all. Awesome....Now what do i charge?

I agreed to the following:

Local -
Claim and optimize directories, G Places, Yahoo etc..
Help create a program that gets clients to post ratings

SEO -
On-Page - meta tags, site structure, update content for better search-ability, etc...
Off-Line - Back linking campaign, article creation, bookmarking etc...

Social Management -
Creation of FB page, Youtube Channel, Twitter acct
Create blog and post three articles per month
Post 2 x per week to FB page and Twitter

PPC
Set up and optimize campaigns

As can be seen he wants the whole enchilada which is great and definitely needed since he is on page 3 for his location+plumber.

My plan is to outsource the SEO, Social management, article and blog creation and local directory submissions. I will do PPC and all web copy in-house.

My plan is to not charge set up fee but charge a monthly fee of $700 for SEO, $300 for PPC management and $200 for social media management. I will outsource SEO to Philippines, I have a good writer I have worked with in the past and I know a person to handle the Social stuff.

With all that info....What would you charge??

Thanks.
