@Anthony, do you find that prospects “get it” when you explain all the things that go into SEO? Have your prospects tried SEO on their own and decided to work with you instead?

I can definitely relate to your article. Although, I don’t blame many small businesses for wanting to do SEO themselves because of the the vast amount of unethical SEO service providers out there. I’m always super transparent with my clients and communicate the fact that SEO is a full time job that requires tons of tedious tasks, extensive copywriting, constant data analysis, advanced technical skills, etc. I follow up by saying how important SEO is to modern business sustainability and profitability … and how only 6 months of professional SEO services could make a HUGE improvement in their brand awareness and inbound lead/sales programs.

Best regards!

If the company doesn’t have this time and the proper people for it, the best they can do is to focus on running their business and to hire a professional SEO company.

Elizabeth – YES, exactly!

In fact, your comment just led to a blogging brainstorm. Stay tuned for this Thursday’s post (and thank you in advance!)

Sunday, I totally agree. And I think it’s great when people want to learn the SEO ins and outs. In fact, I know of a few small business owners who are masters at DIY SEO. Granted, they spend a LOT of time keeping up with Google’s latest and greatest. But for them, it’s a fun diversion. :)

However, the challenge kicks in when someone wants to handle their SEO in-house, yet nothing gets done. That’s when it’s time to call in an expert. Otherwise, you’re just leaving money on the table.

Thanks for your comment!

She said something that stuck with me: “I hired professionals to do their job.” It’s a simple statement, but it spoke volumes and fits neatly into what you are saying, Heather.
Hire SEO professionals and then let them do their job!

Its okay that we should seek for expert help when it comes to SEO. But there is nothing wrong with mastering the basics if we can.

There are lots of “experts” out there that simply take advantage of marketers/bloggers who have no “time”.

However,I see your point in this article. The reality still remains that even when we go for expert advice on SEO, it is important to seek for the credible and proficient professionals.

For any major task — SEO, redecorating your house, whatever — there are the people who plan well and master the task themselves, there are the people who are humble enough to hire someone qualified, and then there are the people who, as you put it, “fall into a ‘wishful thinking’ trap,” and act as if the task will get done in a satisfactory way all by itself.
