You are absolutely right - you cannot run an effective online marketing campaign if your client is not willing to allow you to spend the needed time to get real results. By "accepting" a lower budget of lets say 500 or 1000 we limit our time commitment to seo tasks and get fewer and slower results disappointing our clients. It's not that they are not getting tremendous value, it's that their expectations for quick ranking and traffic are not met right away. Then we end up having to convince them to stay on the campaign for at least 6mo to a year - which is minimum anyway. Now that we learned our lesson - we don't take any seo clients for less then $2000 per month unless its a very non-competitive local phrase or social media content campaign, etc. Wish I would have read this 3 years ago.

Usually 6-12 months is as long as people will stick with it and to be honest that is about as much time as one would need to get a fair shot, as an SEO. @MAM Aus Indeed, but that is rare in my experience and I’ve worked a a few agencies.
