There are a lot of widespread misconceptions about SEO.

  • SEO is outdated.
  • SEO is complicated.
  • It takes years to see results.
  • SEO is expensive.
  • SEO is always changing.

One misconception is that you need a huge budget to see any progress with SEO. It’s true that you need to either spend time or money, and it certainly helps to have more money.

But it’s also not feasible for some businesses or entrepreneurs to spend $5,000 on SEO.

TL/DR

The short answer is yes. You can see results with a smaller SEO budget. As long as you hire someone who knows what they’re doing, the money you invest in SEO will benefit you for months, and even years after you’ve paid the bill.

A small budget means the results you get won’t be as significant, and they can take longer. Even an investment of $100 or $200 for an SEO audit or consultation call can be helpful if you’re willing to do some work yourself.
