I can say that I have NOT received the consistent leads with PPC or SEO efforts on my personal webpage which has been frustrating.

If your leads could potentially come from a Google search, I think paying for Google ads boost your SEO in general searches as well and helps your website get out into the interwebs. 

That is the whole reason why I spend all my time doing SEO.

Third - I can't speak for your design skills - but I could imagine it not coming out as clean as more cookie-cutter site unless you hire someone or spend quite a bit of time/energy on it.Fourth - I've tested my Page Speed against my competitors (big SEO thing).

We drive 80 percent of the traffice there. 10 percent from SEO. 10 Percent form direct linksThat is pretty close to what we are gettingYou will never know it till you do itIn the end, it is not about clicks and visits.

Every SEO client I get then equates to X# of doors.

It was effortless ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀🤔 Did the ice cream shop even know you were motivated for ice cream❓ NO!

Though they say that they're amazing at SEO, I didn't really see any benefit of using them - in fact, I think the fact that the process was so depersonalized may have hurt the booking rate rather than helped it.I currently have a client who is using Vacasa and is considering switching to self-management, which I would assist with.

The key in my opinion is to have a site that looks like a website (for SEO) but acts like a squeeze page for lead capture.

I want to start marketing myself to help find properties for wholesaling and since I'm starting out I don't want to spend money on things that probably won't help.Should I work more on the online side(BP, Website, SEO, adwords, content marketing) or more print/offline marketing(bandit signs, yellow cards, newsletter, etc)Of course I would like to do both down the road but starting out what gives you more bang for your buck?
