      <title>Link building on budget – Is it possible and when should it be done?</title>
      <dc:creator>Panos Kontogiannis</dc:creator>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Link building on budget&lt;/strong&gt; – Is it possible and when should it be done?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;What is link building, what is the purpose and what is the price? Link building is the process of SEO site optimization to build incoming links from other sites to yours.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is the purpose?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The goal is to improve the site's top position in Google SERP.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Why?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;To increase organic traffic and from there to sales and customers.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How much does it cost?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Prices start at 1000 BGN per month for a Bulgarian online store that wants to improve its search engine visibility and increase targeted traffic, sales and customers for its business. Depending on the niche, competition and goals, the price can go up a lot.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;*&lt;em&gt;Is it a subscription service or is it one time?&lt;br&gt;
*&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br&gt;
It is subscription-based and the shortest term is one year. The business must be aware that when signing a contract for SEO services, it must have the necessary budget to realize its goals. There is no point in starting something to "see" and to "test". These are long-term processes that require resources, expertise and serious commitments, but they pay off appropriately for visionaries who know how to run a business.&lt;br&gt;
