The charges can vary hugely. If you are looking for companies, you can have a look at the MOZ list to get some ideas and see what they can do. You won't find many actual recommendations from posting here.

Prices can vary anywhere from £350 per day up to over £1,000, so it will be there and everywhere in-between.

I hope this helps a little.

Some companies have several in-house people working all day, every day on SEO.

At my office we have three full time people.  Two of us (an employee and I) work almost full time making rain.  One person does fulfillment and customer service.  (Each week we also get a few hours of work from part time help, and we get a few hours per week of outside SEO consulting and programming).

Honestly, I worry that we are not shoveling the coal fast enough.  There are companies out there if they took a mind to it they could completely crush us.
