Is it necessary to hire a SEO company?

Hello everyone, I recently launch my website www.nvwah.com, where I review cosmetic products based on their ingredient composition. I am a chemist so I can read the label well and provide a scientific review of the product.

I do believe I have a lot to offer to the readers, and I did basic SEO myself, but this seems like a tough key word competition zone. So my question is, is it worth it to hire a SEO company? I quoted a few, they said $500 a month and 6 month campaign. Is it the market price?

All advice are sincerely appreciated. Thank you!

 

If you have the time I would recommend reading through this forum. You will learn a lot and save money as well.

 

nothing beats doing seo on your own

 

Do it on your own man. It might take a few hours to read through a few things on these forums but overall you will get more out of SEO if you do it yourself. Since you will know what you have done and expect ranking in that mindset.

 

If you do SEO for your own sites, you are the king!
But if you are lacking, it's always good to give project to well known SEO company.

 

just use software and do it by yourself it's a waste to hire a company plus it's good to learn how to do it

 

. legit seo charges 10-20 times more than that per month.
Normally these kinds of seo companies can do nothing more than provide the same level of quality that you yourself can do after reading one or two ebooks.
I would suggest either shelling out 2000$ and up for legit SEO's or just do it yourself.

 

I can assure you that all those so called SEO companies cant give you as much advice as you can learn form the good people here at DP. It appears you want to take a shorter rout to rank for your keyword. It cant work like that. Do it yourself just by asking questions here and giving feedback.

 

You need an SEO company only if you are in a competitive industry. The only other reasons to hire an SEO is if you don't have a clue on what you are doing or you don't have the time to do your own SEO.

 

Yes, of course - there is no problem to learn it yourself!

But - how much time will it cost you, and how much could you earn with every day of speeding up the process?

It's a question of ROI!

If your income potential is above the (expl.) 500 bucks a seo would cost you per month - just do the math for yourself.

Another question is to find the right seo, there is a lot of promises out there, but as said above ... it's hard to find someone who does the job decently for those 500 a month. The good ones don't even advertise their service - they handle waiting lists.

 

The more competative market you are in the more work you need done to rank high. If you don't have lots of time to commit then its best to get someone else who has time and expertise to do it.
The quicker the results the quicker you get the money coming in!

 

For best results and your low on time then ya, but with a couple reads of an article or two you could probably do a lot of stuff yourself.

 

You should make your decision just like any other business decision. If you have the time and expertise then do it yourself. If you don't have the time or the expertise then you'll want to pay for it.

 

IMHO, "if you wanna do it right, do it yourself". Of course, if you know how to do it. I don't recommend hiring a SEO company unless your website is involved with/involves a big business or a corporation.

 

If you do not have time to learn it, the best way is hiring a SEO company.

 

I think, it's better to hire a SEOer to work fulltime. It's more efficient!

 

you seem knowledgeable in your field, write alot of content. Content is still king regarding seo.

 

If you are clueless about the work involved in SEO and have no time for it to learn, since you might feel that your time could be well utilized in your own area of interest, then go ahead and hire a SEO company.
There is no harm in outsourcing your work to an expert!

There are various good ones available in the market and the charges vary from person to person and the amount/duration of work involved.
I can refer you a good friend for it, but only if you require and request for it...though!

I agree with you, good SEOer have his clients by word of mouth.

 

If you don't have the time and expertise to do SEO yourself, you may want to hire an SEO expert/company. However, the price you mentioned seems to be too high. If you have sometime, browse through this forum and you would really get some handy SEO tips.
