Reply To: Do it myself or hire agency.

Short answer: do it yourself first.

You already have the skills to handle the basics, and with a small budget it’s risky to jump into a monthly agency retainer before you know what “good SEO” looks like.

Learn + implement fundamentals, use free tools/GSC at the start, and only hire an agency later once SEO is clearly driving revenue or you need to scale.
