If you're like many website owners, you've probably done a lot of research on search engine optimization on your own and have a good grasp on how it works, and how best to execute a ranking plan. You may know enough about SEO that you don't need to hire a company to handle everything. But, you are probably too busy to handle all of the necessary tasks that need to be done to get your website ranking well in search.

For guys and gals like you, the best thing to do is buy individual SEO services, or pre-made SEO packages. This way you can get exactly what you know you need to rank, but let other people handle all of the work so you can focus on maintaining your website and your overall marketing strategy.

When it comes to buying individual SEO services, as opposed to a fully scoped out and managed solution from an agency, there are two ways to go about it:

Packaged SEO Services

Packaged SEO services are a great way to get everything you need for one price. Packages typically include both on-site and off-site optimization and can be purchased one month at a time. The on-site services may include a full SEO audit of your current website, optimization of your meta information and visible content, and tweaks to your website's architecture for increased load time and efficient search spider access. On-site changes can be handled by you based on recommendations in the SEO audit, or you may choose to give the service provider admin level access to your site to make changes.

Off-site optimization will include a blend of services to get your website relevant backlinks from properties across the web. Such properties could be blogs, web directories, article directories and social media sites. To be most effective, these services may take a few weeks to a few months to roll out, even if you've only purchased the service for one month. Any company worth investing in will offer complete reporting on any off-site link building they do for you, so that you can be sure the links have value and are not associating your website with a "bad neighborhood."

A-la-Carte SEO Services

A-la-Carte SEO services work like a restaurant menu, offering you individual services to choose from. This is great to the do-it-yourself SEO who knows exactly what their immediate ranking needs are. Basically, A-la-Carte services let you put together your own successful SEO packages, or to roll out specific services one at a time.

A few of the services you might find offered by an A-la-Carte SEO solution are:

Content Writing - Content, both on- and off-site, is key to any successful SEO campaign, but producing quality content is very time consuming.

Directory Submission - Web directories are a great way to get valuable one-way links to your site. There are thousands of web directories around the web, and submitting even to just a fraction of them can take a lot of time.

Link Bait - Link baiting is a great way to build completely organic backlinks, by creating unique content that is so compelling people will want to share it by posting it to their own websites and social media networks.

Social Bookmarking - Social bookmarking is a great way to get backlinks and exposure to hundreds or thousands of potential visitors. As with directory submissions, there are tons of social bookmarking sites on the net and submitting to them all can be very time consuming.

These are just a few of the services that you can buy A-la-Carte or packaged for your SEO needs. Before buying any SEO services, make sure you do some research on the company you're buying from. Only buy from companies that have good reviews around the web and offer thorough reporting on the work they do.
