How Much is SEO in Somerset and UK? Costs for Local and eCommerce websites

Somerset SEO Agency vs Local Freelance Consultant

Formed in 2008, you’re going to love how much SEO agency experience I’m able to share! Digital Agencies hire me on a white label basis to  so I know how much profit margin SEO Agencies cost in Somerset as owning an SEO agency has higher overheads than a sole trader like myself working from home. I don’t employ anyone, all SEO work is carried out by myself.

In the world of digital marketing, and more specifically, within the domain of Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) in the UK, businesses have a myriad of options available when it comes to choosing their service providers. Ranging from large agencies to small firms, the choice often comes down to one critical decision – should you hire a large agency or engage the services of a freelancer?

As a small to medium enterprise (SME), a sole trader, or an eCommerce company, this decision can greatly influence the trajectory of your digital marketing success. In particular, SEO is a dynamic and ever-changing landscape, one that requires an adept hand at the wheel. In this context, hiring a freelancer offers several distinct benefits that you may want to consider:

You can communicate with me in more ways than any agency – I regularly chat with my clients over Whatsapp and Zoom video conferencing, Telephone consultations and of course email support with 24 hour guaranteed response.

Benefits of hiring a SEO Freelancer – SEO and Digital Marketing Agencies staff members are on financial incentives both team and individual bonuses every month. You’ll be getting a comparable service from me as a responsive individual than waiting for a Team Member to return your call or answer your email.

Engaging a freelancer means you’re directly collaborating with the individual executing the project. This one-to-one interaction allows for better communication, fostering a rapport that could lead to improved project outcomes. A personal touch in communication can smooth the journey, helping you avoid potential misunderstandings that could arise in larger agencies where your project might change hands multiple times.

• Cost-Efficiency: Freelancers, due to their relatively low overheads, often provide more affordable rates compared to large agencies. This cost-effectiveness can result in substantial savings for your business, particularly if you’re seeking assistance on a short-term project. Reducing costs without compromising on quality is a balance that all businesses strive for, and freelancers often provide the key to this balance in the SEO realm.

• Flexibility and Adaptability: The inherent flexibility of freelancers can prove to be advantageous for your business. Able to tailor their hours to suit your specific needs, freelancers can work on your projects outside conventional business hours, ideal for when you’re working towards a tight deadline or require rapid changes.

• Niche Experts:  Within the vast spectrum of SEO, a freelancer can provide unparalleled expertise on specific facets such as local SEO, e-commerce SEO or technical SEO. This in-depth knowledge can prove invaluable for your project, particularly when it demands a high degree of technical acumen.

A prominent benefit of hiring a freelancer is their ability to specialise in niche areas with the advent of fact checking and accurate AI prompts. The result is that SEO content takes less time when compared to research>write>publish method that’s centuries old.

The advent of AI and ChatGPT4 means there’s a cost saving opportunity for clients as it takes SEO copywriters less time to research facts before writing.

Since February 2023 when ChatGPT3 exploded into everyone’s home and office around the world, I’ve submitted blog posts to niche clients and asked for proofreading. When the client reports there are no errors, that’s when I fess up and open a conversation about the place of Artificial Intelligence at work and for personal entertainment – and research, of course.
