Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Here are my recommendations 1.) Look at some local brands performing well in the searches in your country 2.) Check whether they achieve their rankings through good SEo practices (run the domain in opensiteexplorer) and analyse their top links 2.) Find out who the SEo companies are who are doing work for them 3.) Approach these SEO companies for quotes (and if they are to expensive, ask them to recommend another company) I totally agree with your time constraint (alot of people have this). However, I would strongly suggest you take the once-off time to understand as much about SEO as possible (roughly 10-20 hours), so you can properly understand and question the SEO processes a company will implement for you. Hope this helps. Cheers & Good Luck
