Do It Yourself SEO if You Only Have a Few Minutes Each Week
Here at ICTADVISOR we like working with Small Medium Sized businesses in Scotland when we are not working on a large website project. However, those who end up having us support their web marketing activities have come here after trying Do It Yourself SEO.
Do It Yourself SEO for Small Business Owners
Why it is so invigorating to work with the micro or small business website owner? Because this is where the real challenges are seen when it comes to marketing a website. SME businesses don’t have the luxury of being able to spend lots of time on their website so they turn to Do It Yourself SEO.
Also resource is an issue if there is only a handful of people in the business and they are all maybe all at the frontline delivering what the business offers by way of services and products. Having sufficient Knowledge skills to actually market a website is something not everyone either wants to do or is capable of doing. There is a knack to being a professional internet marketer. The small business is good at what it set out to do, be it a roofing business, a tree surgeon or selling dishwashers for example. But getting time to actually implement SEO, Pay per Click AdWords, or a bit of Link Building and Social Media Marketing – for many small business owners – this is just not their forte.
SEO Dabblers
Some will dabble at DIY SEO Marketing but from a lot of case studies and us helped hundreds of businesses over the years, evidence shows that the website is suffering from this approach. For some businesses, because the funds are tight, they take the plunge in both building their own website and then having a go at marketing it by themselves.
This is like – Can’t afford a car or van for my business, but hey, I think I can build my own. Now we all know what that may turn out looking like!
But, if you do think you can do SEO by yourself then here is Rand Fishkin of MOZ – one of the top SEO Guys in our industry providing some hints in this video on how to do SEO if you only have a few minutes each week.
