What is your pricing strategy for SEO work.

I just recently completed a project for a real estate client and she reached top rankings on 2 out of 3 search engines-numero uno!
It took me 7 sevens weeks time to get her top rankings on 2 out 3 search engines. And no, I'm not using black hat tricks. All ethical and organic SEO. Not bad for a rookie eh?

But anyway, what do you think is a decent pricing strategy/model for SEO work in the real estate vertical market This includes webcopy, linking campaigns, monitoring and such. I will most likely outsource link popularity campaigns to someone while I work on the onpage factors.

I don't think I'll be charging by the hour but by the entire project and probably monthly maintenance fees. Can anyone provide some feedback as to what some of the challenges that I might aspect as well as what your pricing model is?

Thanks again.

I charge only for my time. I do offer a discount for projects larger than 50 hours. Since I only do consulting most project need 10 hours or less of my time.

there's other great threads here on jus that topic, what we charge for SEO work. search for same.....there was a great long one just a month or two ago...
