    Hey everyone,

    I’ve been managing a small e-commerce business for the past two years, and while our social media and paid ads are doing okay, our organic search traffic is pretty stagnant. I’ve done some basic SEO—used Yoast, optimized a few pages, submitted sitemaps—but I know I’m probably just scratching the surface.

    Lately, I’ve been considering hiring a professional SEO consultant to do a full audit and help build a long-term strategy. But before making the investment, I wanted to ask this community:

    💬 Has anyone here worked with a professional SEO consultant?
    Was it worth the cost?

    What should I look out for when hiring one?

    How long did it take to start seeing real results?

    Did they just focus on technical stuff, or did they also help with content and backlinks?

    Also, there seem to be tons of consultants online, and I’m honestly overwhelmed. Some promise quick rankings, others talk about 6-12 month timelines. I want to work with someone transparent, ethical, and results-driven—but I have no idea how to vet them properly.

    Any recommendations, experiences, or red flags to share?

    Really appreciate any input. 🙏
    Thanks in advance!

    Yeah, agree with you. It depends on the person and their goals, but if someone’s running a business and wants to grow online, getting help from a professional can make a big difference.

    Sometimes doing everything on your own gets overwhelming or doesn’t bring the results you were hoping for. That’s where someone like an SEO Consultant Preston comes in; they know how to get your website seen by the right people and help turn visitors into actual customers.

    It’s not just about more traffic, it’s about smarter traffic and real growth. So if the goal is to grow and stand out, working with someone who understands digital marketing properly is worth it.
