While many SEO agencies claim to offer a comprehensive SEO guide, few are able to actually deliver on that promise. The reason for this is very simple, yet the cause is complicated.

The reason sits squarely behind the 300 or so (the exact amount is unknown) different search engine optimisation factors which must be considered in order to achieve definitive SERPs (search engine result position) progress.

The cause of the complexity also lies with these same ranking factors. Optimising a website involves accounting for all of these issues and then placing a relative value on each. This is what Google considers when placing a website into a position relative to all the other websites in existence. So, in order for an SEO agency to both understand your present status and then work to improve it, they must essentially reverse engineer Google’s secret formula.

When this money wasted belongs to you or me, the seriousness of the situation is all the more acute. With this in mind, there is no simple to follow do it yourself SEO guide. The best one could hope for is to find a firm willing to work with you in optimising your content, be open about their tactics, and carry out ethical link building as organically as possible. Very often there is a great deal of drudgery involved in the content building process. If you are willing to do this part of the work, your SEO cost should be cut in half.
