How to Compare SEO Quotations in Bangladesh (2026 Checklist)

Compare SEO quotations by normalising **scope, senior hours, implementation, content, authority work, ownership, contract terms and measurement**. Do not compare the monthly fee alone. A ৳20,000 recommendation-only proposal can cost more in practice than a ৳35,000 proposal that includes implementation.

SEO proposals are difficult to compare because providers use the same labels for different work. “Technical SEO” may mean a crawler export, a developer ticket backlog or implementation inside the CMS. “Content” may mean a brief, an article or a fully reviewed page with original evidence.

The solution is to convert every quotation into the same comparison sheet. Price becomes meaningful only after you know who works, for how long, what ships, who owns it and how success is measured.

This article is part of my Bangladesh pricing cluster. Start with the [complete SEO service price guide](https://freelancertamal.com/blog/seo-service-price-in-bangladesh-2026) if you need the market-wide benchmark.

Pricing at a glance

Create one row for every quoted activity and mark Included, Excluded, Limited or Client-owned. Unknown is not the same as included.

For the broader decision, compare this guide with [questions before hiring an SEO provider](https://freelancertamal.com/blog/questions-before-hiring-seo-provider-bangladesh-2026), [monthly package guide](https://freelancertamal.com/blog/monthly-seo-package-bangladesh-2026), and [SEO pricing benchmark](https://freelancertamal.com/blog/seo-service-price-in-bangladesh-2026).

What a professional scope should include

Rewrite marketing labels into specific outputs: URLs audited, pages optimized, articles reviewed, tickets implemented and reports delivered.

Ask how much strategist, writer, outreach and developer time is included, and who performs each task.

A recommendation has little value if nobody owns the change. Mark CMS, development, design and upload work explicitly.

Review content samples, source standards, link qualification, QA and the process for correcting errors.

Check initial term, renewal, exit, handover, confidentiality, asset ownership and what triggers extra fees.

What changes the final cost

A practical budget or ROI example

Quote A costs ৳20,000 but contains six junior hours, recommendations only and two templated posts. Quote B costs ৳35,000 with 18 mixed-seniority hours, implementation, one research-led asset and conversion reporting. Quote B has the higher fee but may have the lower cost per useful output.

What a credible proposal should show

A useful proposal connects the fee to work, ownership and measurement. It should identify the starting problem, prioritise the first 90 days, name the person responsible for delivery, separate recommendations from implementation, and define the metrics that matter. Rankings alone are not enough; use qualified leads, sales, organic landing-page performance and assisted conversions where possible.

Ask for access and ownership terms in writing. Your company should own its website, Google Search Console, GA4, Google Business Profile and published content. The provider may need delegated access, but those assets should not disappear when the contract ends.

Questions to ask before paying

Final recommendation

Use a weighted comparison sheet: 30% strategy and fit, 25% implementation, 20% evidence and quality, 15% measurement, and 10% commercial terms. Price should be evaluated after those fields are visible.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I choose the cheapest quotation?

Only if the normalized scope, quality and ownership genuinely match. A lower fee with missing work is not cheaper.

How do I compare content?

Compare research, expert input, editing, sources, internal links, visuals, upload and refresh—not article count alone.

How do I compare backlinks?

Review method, relevance, traffic, editorial context, qualification and Google-policy controls.

What contract length is fair?

SEO needs time, but require a defined initial term, exit clause and handover. Avoid indefinite lock-in with vague scope.
