Cheap SEO: Yes It Is Possible!

I have heard enough cheap seo horror stories in my short lifetime and it really saddens me because it doesn’t have to be that way.

Business owners (or the people they get to find an seo expert for their website) want to get the best result for the lowest price- and that is fair enough, they are running a business. But what they usually do is head straight to Google and search for ‘cheap seo‘ or ‘affordable seo‘ and choose their expert by whoever has the lowest price!

Usually they get burnt by a untrained or unethical person and then decide to do one of two things:

1. Ditch the idea of their website getting a lot of traffic from Google; or

2. End up paying a ‘reputable’ company $1,000′s a month for SEO consulting.

The sad thing is, that if they educated themselves and did some research they could easily get cheap seo that is also great seo (because it is getting them ranking well on Google (and the other search engines).

How To Get Good Cheap SEO In 4 Simple Steps

1. Get Educated!

If you don’t want to get scammed by a money hungry marketer then you need to know what you are talking about. So get started and learn SEO – start educating yourself on the important aspects of search engine optimisation.

2. Know Where To Look

While Google is great for finding pretty much everything – cheap SEO experts are one thing that should never be found through a search engine. The problem is that when you search Google, you are going to get a majority of Australian companies and while that is great if you are looking for premium price SEO consulting – Australia is not where you want to look if you are wanting affordable SEO.

If you want cheap SEO, then you need to find cheap labour – because quality levels are the same globally (there are good and not so good SEO processionals in every country). So what you need to do is learn how to find professionals from countries that have lower wages and hire them to conduct your SEO services.

This strategy is or arbitration or outsourcing and if you would like to learn more then you can download a great free ebook called ‘GEO Arbitrage‘ that will explain the whole concept (and where to find low cost labour!)

3. Ask For References

You do it with all other areas of your business, so do it with to SEO research. If you find someone who seems to know what they are talking about and their prices seems reasonable then you want to ask for some references. All you have to do is ask for 5-10 examples of pages that they have personally got listed on the front page for Google. Then ask if you are able to contact those website owners to ask for their opinions on the person or company.

4. Start Them Small

Now that you are ready to hire someone, don’t give them your whole business. Start them one one single keyword and give them some time to rank your website in Google. If you are happy with the result, you can start to give them more keywords.

What I am trying to say is that you can get cheap SEO if you know are smart about it. And if you are willing to follow the above 4 steps. I don’t see why you couldnt find an SEO expert for just a fraction of the cost on some Australian SEO services companies – and still get fantastic results.
