"Your price is so high!"
I agree!
And I even raised my rate, again.
But it's not as expensive as hiring a cheaper freelancer who will spend 2-5x longer and do things incorrectly.
That's so much more expensive in the end...
You get what you pay for, especially when it comes to trusting someone to market your company.
And it's tough to get that time and money back.
They promise a lot.
They tell you what you want to hear. Everything you hope for.
It all sounds great...so you hire them.
Then they go silent for a bit.
Then they give you cool spreadsheets and other neat graphs to show their "work".
You feel like you made the right choice.
But what did they actually do, besides put data into those spreadsheets and graphs?
I hate to break it to you, but like every service that exists -- you get what you pay for.
Cheap is cheap for a reason.
My name is Clint Lenard and I have spent over 20 years working as a Search Engine Optimization specialist, for myself and many, many clients.
Cool story, I know.
So what can I do for you?
You need to ensure that your website doesn't have issues that will cause Google and other search engines to push you down to the second page and beyond for the most important search queries that your potential customers/clients use to find you...
Those problems should be found and fixed.
Quickly, if you want to have an actual website.
You did pay for it after all.
But if no one can find it, does it actually exist?
Beyond that, you need to find a way to get customers/clients calling your phone, sending you emails or simply clicking "Buy Now".
Understanding HOW those potential customers/clients find you is important.
Great research is how you figure that out. Keyword research isn't as simple as plugging in some keywords into a tool.
If it were that easy every company would be doing it and everything would be even in your niche...
But it's not.
This is why I charge more. I understand keyword research and how it can be utilized to rank your pages higher than your competition.
But there's more than that....
You need a great content strategy to not just be found, but to be found before your preferred customer/client finds your competitors first.
Again, if your site can't be found does it really exist?
It's not about identifying some keywords and then writing articles with those keywords.
It's not about paying someone to pretend to get "high quality" links to your website either.
That topic is even is even more frightening.
Most "link builders" are going to hurt your website.
Badly.
**chills**
The reality is, you need to hire a search engine optimization professional that can help you in all areas of SEO, without "learning on the job".
Areas that you actually need to be focusing on.
I get it, you wanted to save some of your budget "just in case something goes wrong".
The problem is, by hiring cheaper you are basically guaranteeing something WILL go wrong.
In 20 years I have seen it all.
There are a lot of free courses on YouTube to learn SEO.
A lot of bad ones.
There's plenty of cheap books on Amazon, or free PDF's and tutorials on random sites.
Plenty of bad ones.
Imagine hiring someone who watched a bunch of YouTube videos to perform surgery on your beloved pet.
Your company/brand is your baby as well. Don't let someone test out their new skills on your site for $20/hour.
Trust me, it's not worth it... it's practically 100% guaranteed to fail.
Those spreadsheets, neat doc files, PowerPoint presentations, etc -- the time spent on creating those are nearly as long as those people spent learning "what is SEO".
Save yourself the stress and learn SEO yourself...
Seriously.
Save your money you would otherwise spend on cheap SEO's and put it towards a vacation.
You'll need that vacation if you hire cheap SEO's.
Or...
Hire me today and let's watch your sales grow rapidly.
Invite me to your job listing here or you can even search for me on Google (clint lenard seo) or Linkedin.
