Quote: There are plenty of blog posts discussing what to do with large budget, big brand SEO, but what happens when there isnt the luxury of a strong budget? Many small to medium size businesses can be reluctant to spend money on SEO or simply dont have the funds to do so, despite knowing that they need to have a strong online presence. Im of the firm belief that good things can still be achieved with a small budget, even if its a few quick wins that can lead to a few more sales or a small increase in lead generation.
Ive had the privilege of working with quite a large variety of clients, many of whom dont have large marketing budgets to play around with. Having had that experience I would definitely say that there are things both small businesses, and us as SEOs can learn about how to make the most from even the smallest of budgets. If you are working with a client, or running your own campaign with a low budget then I would say the first thing to do is get realistic.
