Lately, there’s been a lot of talk about the benefits of SEO, and I keep seeing recommendations to 👉 hire a professional SEO consultant in the UK. But I’m a bit skeptical. Are these consultants genuinely worth the high fees, or can most businesses manage SEO in-house with the right tools and effort?

For small and medium businesses, especially startups, is it really necessary to 👉 hire a professional SEO consultant in the UK, or is it just a way for agencies to make easy money? I’d love to hear real experiences—both positive and negative.

Have you hired a professional SEO consultant? Did they make a noticeable difference in your website’s performance, or did you feel it was an expense that didn’t pay off?

Looking forward to a frank discussion here.

If you want, I can also create 2–3 alternative versions designed to spark debate, which tends to get much higher engagement on forums. Do you want me to do that?
