More information is available at http://SearchMarketing.MarketingSherpa.com.
Warren, RI (PRWEB) June 21, 2005 -- MarketingSherpas research team conducted an exhaustive study of 188 SEO firms and Paid Search agencies while preparing their latest Buyers Guides, Buyers Guide to Search Engine Optimization Firms and Buyer's Guide to Paid Search Advertising Agencies. These 188 agencies are competing for over 10,000 client accounts, from American Airlines to Zagat, all ready to spend anywhere between $500 to $10,000 per month.
Among the revelations are:
- Client-to-Staffer Ratio: a surprising figure at 7.5 clients per expert SEO staffer and 4.2 clients per expert PPC staffer
- Professional search marketing is still costly: there really are no *economy* level agencies available
- Over 75% of firms researched use a consulting fees pricing model: by the hour or the project
