Suggestions, please

Woocommerce eCommerce platform, built on a template, content and pictures supplied, very professional looking.

Very niche business selling premium products, maximum 2-5 online orders per day, plus a couple of enquiries and questions.

How much to look after such a website, handle SEO and other bits to make it run smoothly.

Possibly involved in social media posts, coming up with new ideas, a bit of marketing etc.

Is £1000 a month a fair rate to pay for this?

Thanks

You need to define what SEO targets your working to and give more detail on “other bits”

Is it a new site? Does it convert? At what %

Also is running the site adding content, pictures, blogs etc?

Tell us more and people here can help.
Thanks for the reply, I couldn't tell you some of these questions without probing the current people looking after the site.

It's selling around £10k per month if that helps?

Creating new content is one issue, there is not enough being provided and that's not their fault. They are outside the UK which probably doesn't help as they cannot just pop in to resolve these matters.

I think £1k per month on SEO for ecommerce sounds a little light unless it's a very niche set of products and not too many of them.
This is not for SEO, just his fee

Thanks for all the great comments guys, anyone north of London or around the Bedfordshire area would like to discuss, I am open to suggestions if we could keep fairly local. Maybe take a look at what we do and make a proposal?
