Hire SEO Specialists

Search is the one channel that compounds, and it is the easiest to get quietly wrong for a year before anyone notices. LebSource connects you with pre-vetted Lebanese SEO specialists who own the channel end to end and report on it honestly.

01

What an SEO Specialist does

An SEO specialist decides what your site should rank for and then makes that happen: keyword and intent research, information architecture, technical fixes that unblock crawling and indexing, on-page optimisation, and internal linking. They work with your developers and writers rather than filing tickets at them, and they measure the channel against pipeline rather than vanity rankings.

The cost

What SEO specialists cost, in-house versus LebSource

Pick your country and move the slider to the gross salary you would pay locally. We do not guess the salary for you. A shipped salary table would look like research and would not be.

Your country

Local gross salary

€70,000

€30k€90k€150k

Employer overheads are added at 21%, the statutory minimum for the country you selected.

In-house

€84,700

per year, salary plus 21% employer overheads

Through LebSource

€48,279

per year, all-in, for the same capability

You keep

€36,421

a year, per person, up to 43% of the loaded cost of the equivalent local hire. That is roughly €3,035 a month back, or the budget for a second hire every 2 people you take on.

What this leaves out, in both directions: recruitment fees and the cost of the role sitting unfilled (which count against hiring locally), and onboarding ramp and management time (which apply either way). The full calculator includes the vacancy cost and lets you model multiple hires. Real pricing depends on the specific role and seniority. This is an illustration, not a quote.

FAQ

Hiring SEO specialists with LebSource

Do SEO specialists write the content themselves?

Some do, and others brief and edit writers. Tell us which you need and we will shortlist accordingly rather than assuming.

Can they work with our developers on technical fixes?

Yes. They join your tracker and Slack and raise technical work the same way any team member would, which is much faster than sending an audit over and hoping it gets actioned.

How soon should we expect results from SEO?

Search compounds slowly, so meaningful movement usually takes months rather than weeks. A good specialist will tell you early which wins are quick and which are not.
