Should I hire an SEO expert?

SEO ExpertsSummary: An SEO expert can save you time and money, because they know SEO inside out and can plan and execute an effective SEO campaign far quicker than if you did the work yourself.

So you’re considering hiring an SEO expert.  What are the benefits?

A real SEO expert can bring you…

  • Experience – they know how to get the best results in the shortest possible time, and can give you realistic expectations.   They also know what to avoid.
  • Contacts – usually SEO experts have contacts that can really help you with online marketing, such as press contacts and article distribution. Many article sites offer pro accounts and SEO experts will likely have these set up and ready to fire off your content through.
  • Market knowledge – SEO experts have good knowledge of communities and sites that are topic specific and can help you build links for your specific service or product.
  • Content facilities – SEO experts often have great copywriters on standby and can create and publish content a hundred times faster than if you had to work it out for yourself.
  • Problem solving – experts will quickly be able to identify any problems with your current site that are causing you to suffer lower rankings or causing the search engines not to be able to properly crawl your site.
  • Time saving – experts will of course save you valuable time that you can use to build your business elsewhere. Look at their fee.  Could you use the equivalent amount of time to do more with your business elsewhere?

The only con of working with an SEO expert is their fee and it’s for you to decide if you have the budget. Angel works with budgets from £100 up so we can usually accommodate you even if you don’t have much to spend.

If you do decide to hire an SEO expert, make sure you check out our video which explains what you should ask before you take anyone on board.  We also have an article ‘I’m hiring an SEO expert – what should I look out for?’ which will help you with asking the right questions.

Don’t forget that there are 3 options here:

1)      Do it all yourself

2)      Have an expert do everything for you

3)      Work with an expert

Angel SEO is one of the only companies (we’re actually the only UK company we know of that does this) that allows you to take option 3, so that you work with us – you do some of the work (like link building) which we can guide you with, and we do other work.  So if cost is an issue, this may be a cost effective solution where you get to benefit from the expertise of an SEO expert without the cost of a full blown SEO campaign.
