So many times I have heard companies that pay for a website to be designed and built for them but when it comes to the marketing, want to do it all on their own. The majority of time, the reason for this is because they want to try and save a bit of money and feel that they have people within the business that has spare time to spend on the online marketing aspect. There are a number of issues with this and I have highlighted a few below.

• Often when it actually comes to carrying out some of the marketing / SEO tasks the person out in charge of completing it has not got the time needed to complete it.
• SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) is not as straight forward as you may think. There are many different techniques out there and it can be hard to work out which ones will work. An SEO agency will have years of experience and success stories showing that they know what they are doing.

If you wish to help with the SEO of your website then this can be fantastic as often there are thing that you can do alongside the SEO agency.
