Everyone wants to save money. And this is completely justified, because any entrepreneur makes money, and does not receive it from the air. But you also need to understand the fact that this saving will not always be justified and in some things you just need to know when to stop. So that you don't have to pay more later.
When you decide to build a house, will you look for experienced and skilled builders, and not those who are cheaper? After all, in the end, correcting their mistakes can cost many times more than the initial benefit. Just like in this picture:
I have always wondered what a business owner expects when, in an effort to make money from Bentley, he hires a newcomer who promises him a Top for a pittance.
Any good specialist knows his worth, and dumping is usually done in two cases:
In general, you should not trust your website and reputation to a random person, because it is “fast, easy and inexpensive.” The cost of such “cheap” SEO can end up being very high. And here's why.
A friend of mine who works in the international market told me that there is one common point in their field. Many clients, having received offers from performers, choose those who offer low rates.
But then, when the customer has already gained experience of cooperation with such performers, the situation changes. There are no longer questions about cost or timing, and everyone understands that quality work cannot be cheap.
It's similar in SEO. If you follow the path of extreme savings, the following “surprises” may await you.
Links. With a small budget, link building often comes down to running through catalogs or purchasing cheap links from dubious resources. Or they will allocate a minimum amount for visibility. They may not do anything at all.
At best, this will have no effect. At worst, if you haven’t worked with anchors and other aspects, you won’t be able to avoid sanctions from search engines. Search engines don't like link spam and punish it. It's only a matter of time before the site falls under sanctions.
Thoughtless mass purchase of links on all sites indiscriminately is a sure way to losses. These actions can completely destroy your prospects for further growth.
How to do everything right? You need to analyze the link mass of competitors, place links through proven exchanges and work with thematic sites using relevant pages and a carefully compiled list of anchors.
It is logical that this requires time and experience. And such work certainly cannot be cheap.
Content. Yes, the same content that is often bought at low prices on exchanges and then resold at a premium. But this is nothing more than useless typing that, instead of attracting traffic, rather discourages visitors.
I won't even bring up the importance of quality content and the author being competent in his field again. Just think, would a professional plumber write an article on your website for that kind of money, if during this time he can earn much more working in his specialty?
The result is texts that are off topic, filled with superficial statements and meaningless phrases. And competitors who have invested in professionals receive much higher quality content.
When you order cheap content, just ask yourself: would you enjoy reading this yourself?
Work on the site. This aspect requires a serious approach. Before making a decision on work, you need to conduct a full research: understand the niche, analyze competitors, conduct a technical audit, and so on.
But will it be possible to carry out such work with a budget that is only enough for lunch? Most likely, problems cannot be avoided.
If the site does not have good design and convenience, and conversion is not optimized, then the effect of SEO work may be minimized.
Your website is the calling card of your business, and it can’t be bad. Especially in modern conditions, where the quality of a website directly affects its promotion.
Traffic and sales. If you don't put enough effort into developing your website and making it more effective, your traffic will be minimal and your sales will be negligible.
Cheap projects do not involve working on improving landing pages, CTR, conversion and other important aspects. The understanding that a good result requires investment in effort, time and knowledge inevitably comes.
Traffic without a good website is like a waste of time. Analytics and optimization are the most important steps that will help make your website profitable.
Company image. Just like in any other business, reputation plays a crucial role. SEO specialists working with your website influence not only traffic, but also the image of your company on the Internet.
Using outdated methods and poor quality links can negatively impact your brand. Even if professionals are aware of the latest trends, skimping on quality services will lead to poor results.
Wasted time. It takes a lot of time to find a truly high-quality specialist, and cooperation with non-professionals can lead to serious consequences. You lose not only money, but also time that you could invest in developing your business.
Every day that your project doesn't get the attention it deserves gives an advantage to your competitors who aren't sitting idly by.
Don't miss the opportunity: even if you start doing everything right, lost time cannot be returned.
As with anything else, in SEO you get exactly what you pay for. The higher the level of specialists, the higher the cost of their work. SEO takes time, knowledge and effort, and it always costs money.
This does not mean that saving is impossible, but such savings must be reasonable. Cheap SEO is often an illusion that will result in high costs and lost profits in the future.
