How to create SEO budget?
-
If I see the site which has 8,000 links from unique domains (RDD in Market Samurai).
How much could it cost to build such amount of links? How long does it take?
What SEO budget will be based on these data?

The numbers by themselves are meaningless. Read my response again - look closely at the sites that are linking to them: Why are they linking? What's in it for them? Could you do the same? Could you apply that same process to another site that they don't have a link from? Can you take that idea further - change it to put a new spin on it?
You can't win at SEO my chasing the links of competitors. You will always be playing catch up, you will never get every link and you'll never get ahead. However you can learn from those links and take their strategies rather than their links.
When you have a strategy then budgeting starts to make sense.

Hi
It's really difficult to say that what should be the SEO budget !!!
You should not make useless bulk of links for your site. Only links are not important if they do not fulfill Google's requirements. So be careful about link building.
Thanks

Don't be fooled in to thinking that it is about the number of links. It never has been and it is probably less so now than ever. You could build 8000 links very cheaply and very easily if that was the only thing that was important. However it probably wouldn't help.
Start looking at what the links are rather than how many of them there are. What are their 10 best links? What would it take to get links like or better than those? What about their top 50 links? At least assume that it is only authentic looking links that are going to help and then start thinking about what you can do to match or better those. The methods used will depend on the market and your website. The cost will depend on the methods and how well you do it.
I know that you were probably looking for an answer in $, but it's impossible to say and pointless to do so.

How Does SEO Help Local Businesses
Hello, I recently took a position as a digital marketing manger with a advertising agency. Its my job to grow the digital marketing department. One of the issues I am running into is 90% of our clients are local businesses. When doing keyword research it is very difficult to find keywords with lots of search. For example, if I am optimizing for a Ford dealership in Hackensack,NJ there are not a lot of searches for this term. How can I justify a larger SEO budget when there is just not a lot of search volume for these keywords? This is nothing like Dog Training Videos or something similar. Am I missing something? Where can I pull traffic from for local businesses to justify larger SEO budgets? Thanks, Bill
