Hiring SEO Experts Upwork/Fiverr

[Michael Hayes]

Hey BP fam.

Quick question.  I am relaunching a Carrot site and want to invest in some SEO optimization.  I'm thinking of hiring virtually from Upwork, Fiver or Onlinejobs as opposed to some of the bigger SEO companies just because of the price difference.  Just curious what anyone's results have been hiring someone direct from one of the mentioned sites vs the more expensive well known SEO companies.  Figured a lot of the experts on some of these sites probably work for the bigger SEO companies and just doing work on the side anyway.

 My experience is you get what you pay for. I had multiple FIVRR folks do work but a lot of them will create back links on sites with high toxicity scores so it actually ends up hurting you. You’re better off to pay 3-5$ an hour for a virtual assistant doing SEO Fulltime for a month or so.
