Is basic SEO worth the time?
Posted by on June 2, 2020 at 2:58 amI have a Shopify store with 20 products, add two new ones a day along with a blog post about the niche.
I’m spending a lot of time doing paid ads and making more content for my site. Doing pretty well with ads, about 1.5-2.5k in sales a day.
Is it worth it to do basic SEO on all my blogs and product pages if I don’t have time to go any further than that?
After I really get my cash flow under control I’ll hire an SEO guy but for now, thinking of doing the basics myself. What are your thoughts?

Doing SEO of your own is cost effective but the people who live with SEO and the algorithms know how to do it properly. It’s your call but my suggestion is to ask help from someone who knows what to do in SEO as it can multiply your business with minimum investment

Last night I was asked to do an audit for a website that says they already have an SEO working for them.
To our utter surprise, the website has issues all over the place that are BASIC. Basic tech SEO and on-page SEO.
This site is even doing well on SERP but it definitely can do way more if those in charge of their SEO is actually not taking for granted of the basics.

Depends on how much time you got; how much $ is a hour of your time worth?
If you make more than $20-30 per hour, paying to have someone do it is not a bad use of your time/money. If you have less than $20 per hour AND/OR you’re really interested in SEO, you can learn how to do this stuff yourself.

Even if you aren’t going to focus on SEO full time (from here on out) it will still be worth learning the basics of it.
If you are adding 2 products per day, it wouldn’t take much to get a comfortable process together for your microdata, image tagging, and on page content for each product. After doing it 10 times it will take you no longer to do than what you do today.

I always recommend anyone to do SEO for their websites (any kind of). The one who already made it only could realize how crucial it is, if and if you are doing it from the right guy. SEO leads to better user experience, builds brand awareness, getting quality website traffic and ultimately leading to business success and growths. Most importantly, SEO is cost effective too!

ROI for SEO is the very best out there, so…

No. Fuck your site on purpose.

The only thing holding back my business from being 5X what it is right now is SEO. I am gearing up my now SEO.

I personally think there’s a lot that you can easily cover and after that, hire out for the more advanced stuff, or management once you’ve got a good system in place. Better to do some of it yourself so you can better interview people in the future, too

SEO is a must for a website. Even if you are getting traffic. You will also see improvement in paid ads after SEO, so there is no other thought about it.
As far as you doing it yourself, SEO expertise comes with experience and may be your action with limited knowledge also harm your website if something goes wrong. I would suggest hire an SEO consultant for this and you focus on your core work.
