No employees so will a search engine optimisation company work me?

[alandavidson]

I'm self-employed and run two different companies solely by myself there is no employees but I contacted the two UK SEO companies which are recommended on Moz both of them based in London, but after sending them emails and speaking to them on the phone neither contacted me about they must think I'm too small. Do you find that small one-man band companies find it hard to get a SEO to work for them because my budget will be too small?

The company I would like to improve the rankings on is a Whitby Holidat Cottages letting agency in Whitby www.EndeavourCottge.co.uk with 10 properties, so obviously I can't afford a large budget but I could happily afford a monthly subscription if they could do necessary works for me do you think this sounds feasible? Or am I better just continuing and trying to make the time to do the work myself even I'm not that expertise.

What is your thoughts and experience? Thank you Alan Davidson

Take heart. There are a lot of great SEO companies out there who will strive to work within your budget.  We try to offer options so that clients with smaller budgets can afford our services, but that usually means our work is stretched over a longer period of time. In such cases, it's important to understand that it will probably take longer to see results.  This can be a good option for business owners who understand the need to invest in SEO but can't afford a large retainer.

I agree with Laura. I want to add this that the years of studying and working  on websites will never be replaced by reading an article and winging it. Unfortunately it really depends on the amount of work needed to get you the  ROI  you want and your willingness to understand  Time is a very serious thing in SEO .

Different company both are different prices for good reason many companies that do not charge a lot unfortunately for the consumer for people that will say yes to any job and by doing so they are doing you a huge disservice because you will not   Achievers what you wanted.

Frankly Google asks a lot more from a site owner these days and therefore we have to be more proficient and more up-to-date one  thing to keep in mind is most people are reasonable. I do believe that you get what you pay for I would like to hear more about this job just as a exercise for everyone on the site. You might find the perfect  Agency or and/or people

Hi Alan, I think that is a problem that a lot of "one-man-bands" struggle with.

This was also one of the reasons why Fiverr was created. You can look at SEO services here: https://www.fiverr.com/categories/online-marketing/seo-services/#layout=auto&page=1

!Warning! There are some services that aren't really white-hat, but there are also a lot of good people on Fiverr. Be sure to check reviews and comments from customers.

Best regards,

There are SEOs (like myself) who do SEO full time for a company then also do SEO as a part time role outside of working hours just to get a bit of an income boost. I have some customers who pay me as and when they want me to work and some who pay me £50 a month just to do some work for them.

I would just be wary and ask to see some of the sites they have worked on.

If you want to find these kinds of people, try sites like freelancer, seochat forums, elance. There's a load of seo forums and freelance sites that are more suited.
