To be an effective business owner in today's online world, small business owners are tasked with researching ways to reach more customers by growing an online presence. Business owners are well aware of the benefits of a properly optimized website to compete online and the importance of placing well written content to engage users and increase their brand's customer base and online popularity/awareness; however, despite having this widely known "must-do" on their list of business expenses, most small businesses owners wait until their business is failing or declining and their budget to compete has dwindled to a burning ember rather than the roaring fire needed to catch up to their competition in any time frame shorter than a presidential term.
SEO services, content writing, backlink campaigns, social bookmarking, traffic generation, are all services with volume levels that are controlled by the amount of time/money/focus you can purchase from a professional. The aggression level of any marketing campaign, in any industry, is always 100% contingent on the budget of the campaign.
I have experienced clients that spend a mere $300 per month for SEO but demand faster, million-dollar results (that require more time spent to achieve more aggressive efforts) but are unwilling to increase their budget because their $300 didn't get them the millions of dollars in results they feel they should have had for their budget. The real world extends to SEO too. Just like the more time an Attorney works on a case, the more aggressive the case and, ultimately, the more hours billed, meaning a hire bill but a much more effective defense. But isn't that what we want? The best defense? The best Attorney? The best Doctor? The best SEO SERVICE? I understand that most business owners, like most people, have much larger appetites than their wallets are willing to accommodate, and that is perfectly acceptable, but you cannot make the mistake of thinking that cutting corners on your marketing approach is any different than cutting corners on your legal defense. Even if you cannot afford to play with the big boys and the large corporate competitors, there are some very effective methods that a professional SEO can implement to increase your brand awareness. Just keep it realistic. If your competitors are are years ahead of you on marketing and are spending thousands per month, don't waste your time throwing a coupe hundred bucks at it to try and catch up -you won't. Instead focus on points where you can strengthen your geo-targeting to reach a broader audience to grow your local business awareness and local customer base.

SEO is not Magic.
SEO should always be used to compliment your overall business and marketing efforts to strengthen your brand and grow your business. SEO is not magic dust that will make your business a success for you. That is a ridiculous notion that is bad information and a false hope.
