I have been running my business for 3 years now, doing everything from sales to SEO. Fortunately, all my hard work has paid off, and I'm seeing more customers now. The thing is, I realize that to do it properly, I would have to let go of Website maintenance and SEO work go. I really am not comfortable searching for an SEO company on Google. I was wondering if you have used SEO services or individuals before, and how was your experience with them. My criteria is just one: value for money. I really don't like to spend too much on SEO.
It seems to use the SEO companies that you need a large budget monthly to get good results, but with one individual who does it for a job you get better results for a better price. I would recommend using an individual instead of a service/company. It is more of a personal connection and you can discuss exactly what you need and easier to get in contact. PS I work for food
Yes your are right but not all companies are like this...Hire a company who has good reputation as well as inquire about their earlier or current clients...and then move ahead....
I think that's what he is trying to do here, he's actually trying to solicit experiences from people and companies who have hired SEO companies or professionals Don't do this too often, but you might want to try out page ranking.
My advice is try Adword. First, Optimize your website, do A/B testing and other stuff. Next, run some campaigns. Read, practice and test the best converting ad for you. Once it become profitable, just scale as much as you can.
