Feedback to what to offer to my clients on my SEO website - local to Boise ID
-
Hi,
I'm targeting Boise, Idaho and building an SEO consulting website.
Right now I only offer 3 things because that's what I have experience in:
1. On-site SEO
2. Content Audit
3. Start a company from scratch.
Ecommerce, Service, or Informational
I know #3 involves all SEO, so it will be challenging, but 1-3 is what I've been doing for 10 years.
What feedback do you have as far as 1-3 being my 3 offers, and is $200/hour fair? I work off quotes by estimating my time at $200/hour.
Thanks.

I hope you'll receive further feedback from the community, Bob! It's exciting that you're planning your business.

Interested in hearing what others have to say,
but very grateful for your response Miriam. When I say start a company, I find myself sitting down with people who want a more passionate job and doing their keyword research and helping them start their (usually store and content both) and tell them what content to write and how to expand.
I'm done doing it for free unless it's close friend or family member. It's a lot of work. Thus the package. Just for the Boise area.
My experience is taking businesses from zero to $5000/month or zero to $30,000/month in sales so you can see that's small business. I've worked under a 7m/year company, but they kept a lot from me. Consider that I have 10 years of experience but I only specialize in a few things really because they are strong enough for a good ROI for my customer.
Anyways, what is a better rate in your opinion (or anyone else reading this)?

Hey Bob,
By 'start a company from scratch' do you mean business consulting? Like someone comes to you wanting to open a hair salon and you advise them from the beginning? Or, something else?
The appropriateness of your rates is going to be based on the types of clients you are targeting. $200/hr will likely be too much for Mom & Pops and startups in Boise (though maybe not in Los Angeles!), but if you focus on industries that are typically populated by enterprise level companies, your rate may work. Think hospitals, large franchises, major brands, etc.
Hoping you'll get lots of community feedback on this one!
