A client of mine recently had an experience very similar to the one Jody described with GetClickedOn.co.uk.
Unfortunately the online marketing / SEO industry is heavily represented by companies that either:
A) completely scam you and deliver absolutely nothing
B) deliver so little and charge such high margins that its basically a scam regardless.
This is possible because for the most part business owners feel that SEO / online marketing is difficult and time consuming to do. But this is not case at all. There is no reason to pay someone else to do your SEO or even to design your website.
I am at the moment putting together a video tutorial program that will teach business owners how to build a professional website and implement an integrated SEO strategy in just one week.
You learn by doing, following easy step-by-step instructions. You need nothing more than a basic computer.
If you are interested in empowering yourself and taking control of your online marketing, please reach out and let me know you would like to participate in the video tutorials. *******@empseo.com.
