I apologise for posting this here, but I couldn't see where to get in touch. Also just to let you know this is not spam or an automated message although it may come across as such. Of course if this is not your area of interest/ something you want to get involved in I fully understand and thank you simply for taking the time to read this.

Many companies will charge over £200 just for basic SEO but think of the future...if you learn it then if you need to make another site you will know where to start. Because most companies will only offer SEO on a single site - you will face more costs. In the end it comes down the simple fact: TIME. If you have the time to put into SEO then i would go with reading up on SEO or even buy a book on it and then go from there. You can also find many free seo tools on the internet so it might be worth checking them out. If you have no time to read up on SEO then go with a SEO company but keep in mind that you should shop around... Just my own views (hope you don't mind) as i too invested in both SEO company and i been learning SEO myself.
