We’re also hiring a CMS website manager (trying to move away from BS agency partners)…ANY advice on what a fair, competitive hourly rate would be for the SEO contractor + any rough estimate on how many hours per month is actually needed from an SEO partner? Sorry if this is vague, happy to provide any details that would help. Pretty desperate for some non-biased clarity.

Do you feel that in SEO there are too many ways of conducting the same tasks.
