I am been researching SEO and am attempting to do it myself in a highly competitive market. So far, I am not sure if it working out. Should I continue to do it myself or hire professionals? I do not want to fork out the money if I can do it myself.

My goal is to increase our website ranking and increase organic views. We are already maxed out with Google AdWords.

Does anyone know any SEO companies that are fairly priced but still produce results?

Any help or advice would be appreciated.

    SEO for high competition is not easy. If you do SEO task your self and manually, will make you tired. I prefer use SEO outsourcer.

    I would first determine how your site is going to rank. Go to Google keywords first and find out how much competition there is for the keywords you would like to rank for. If the competition is relatively low there is no reason that you couldn't do it yourself.

    The benefit to this also is that you will learn invaluable information about how to rank and in the long run if you do decide to hire an SEO you will have some good basic knowledge built up so that you won't be taken advantage of.

    Best of luck to ya

    If you don't have enough time to do SEO for your website or you're not aware of SEO/technical things then it will be better to hire a seo professional but before choosing a person, make sure that they do have enough experience by checking to their previous works.

    SEO involves a number of tactics that can only be handled by an expert SEO professional. If you want to rank your website well on Google, you need to hire some SEO professionals from a reliable SEO company. Search on Google for SEO companies and check their price lists. They offer many packages for SEO, you need to select a suitable one for your website.

    Owning a professional SEO company, I would advise go for a professional SEO company for sure if you are in a competitive market. It is too much to learn when it comes to SEO and "god is in the details" really applies here. BTW, if you are in a competitive niche, normal SEO methods do not work and you don't want to risk it out by going to a company that doesn't know what they are doing. Nevertheless, PM me with more detail about your project and will be happy samples of our success stories in very competitive niches.

    If you are talking about this site AutoLine Auto Transport then you should hire an SEO company or train a VA and make him or her use an automated SEO tool. The latter requires you to know a bit about SEO. If you got the budget, then in your case I should just hire an SEO company.

    If you want to hire profesionals for SEO, make sure you won't hire an SEO who uses Black Hat methods. My advice is to focus on onpage techniques.

    • Search engine optimization is a slow and tedious process. It is true that you can do by yourself, but a professional will save you time and money. A well established SEO company with years of experience is familiar with link building, article marketing, on site optimization and other strategies that will help you get better rankings in search results.

    Just make sure that you know exactly what the SEO company is going to do before you hire them. Don't just rely on their word that they will use some "Panda Friendly" or whatever method.
    A company that uses grey hat-black hat methods might get your site in trouble. Make sure you understand their methods and the risks associated with them.

    If you don't want to fork out the money, just read and learn about white hat methods and just outsource specific parts of the process. For example, if you want to do guest blog posting there are companies that can do this for you. However, if you want to do it more cheaply, do the link prospecting yourself (find the blogs in your niche or related niches that accept guest blog posts) which isn't hard. Write a few titles that you believe that these blogs would be interested in publishing. Then outsource the article writing to a good writer and when you have the content do the outreach/contacting yourself. That way you can reduce the expense without having to do a ton of work yourself, you have control of your link building campaign, and develop relationships that in the long run can get you more links.

    And always keep in mind, noone can guarantee you rankings. Even a no-rankings -> refund guarantee is most of the time a bad deal for you if it hurts your site in the long run.

    You can certainly do SEO yourself, but since you have a highly competitive market, you may want to consider hiring an SEO company who can dedicate more time to the project.

    If you have the budget then sure. You could also ask them what their approach will be and outsource individuals to do the same job cheaper.
