Budget justification: competitive benchmarking, opportunity sizing, ROI projections. Allocation varies by site maturity and goals. Typically requires ongoing investment, not one-time.
Simple Explanation (ELI13)
An SEO budget is how much money you're putting toward SEO. It covers tools, people (whether employees or an agency), content creation, and any other SEO-related costs. SEO is an ongoing investment, not a one-time project. Your budget should match your goals and competitive landscape.
