SEO, Social Media, and Website content

[Jeff Amore]

Over the past few weeks I've created a Facebook business page, a Twitter account for my business, and a website. 

Now my question is, what is the best way to make those things work for me? I've spent a lot of time, especially on my website, on SEO trying to get traffic, and it's clear to me that I just don't know enough to do it effectively and efficiently myself. About how much does it cost, on average, to pay someone to help with SEO, site content, and tying this together with social media? I see lots of folks on fiverr.com claiming to be able to help in these areas at extremely reasonable rates, but it almost seems too inexpensive to be any good. Like most people starting out, I don't have much to spend, but I feel like if I don't get some help, I'll never get the leads I need. If anyone has any recommendations, they'd be welcomed.

Thanks!

Site content can be cheap. About $10 an article. I'd highly recommend hiring someone on Upwork to post content for you regularly instead of Fivver. Posting content your audience want to read is the best way to increase SEO. The next best is to build up your back links. SEO is a long process but is a great investment. Social media is a different story.

Hiring a reputable SEO company is not cheap. Several hundred dollars upfront and a few hundred a month on retainer. SEO is a continuous process. But I'd say a few hundred dollars a month is worth it if you're closing on thousands of dollars worth of deals coming direct to you. If you expect to do a lot less and don't want to invest that much content creation is a great start. Remeber it takes time.
