We need to complete the work in stages, with each stage paid for separately. I need your assessment of the time and cost for each stage.
Stage 1. SEO audit of the website (all metrics are already set up)
We check the current state of the website: technical errors, indexing, page structure, meta tags, loading speed, mobile adaptation, duplicates, content, internal linking, and basic SEO issues.
Result: a list of errors and recommendations on what needs to be fixed.
Stage 2. Internal optimization
Based on the audit, we prepare a technical assignment for implementing corrections: which pages to optimize, which meta tags to write, where to improve texts, headings, structure, URLs, linking, microdata, and technical elements.
Result: a technical assignment for the developer/content manager.
Stage 3. External optimization and link purchasing
We develop a strategy for increasing the link mass: which pages to promote, which anchors to use, which platforms are suitable, what budget is needed, and at what pace to purchase links.
Result: a link purchasing plan and a list of priority pages for promotion.
Please do not send inflated prices; I do not work with companies, only freelancers, and I will immediately reject such bids. I have done basic optimization myself and understand this area; I need to check the previous work and create a work plan for new tasks to scale SEO optimization and manage this project.
