Seo 101?

Hey all...

I need to call upon some of the more wiser denizens of this here community. I co-own an IT Outsourcing & Solutions company that services local area small businesses. We end up being their single poc for everything IT.

A few of my customers have been requesting websites. This is no problem for me. They have also requested SEO. This sort of presents a problem for me.

I understand, for the most part, what SEO is. I have done some reading on the subject feel a need to ask a few questions prior to taking on something that I might want to leave up to someone else.

1. How time-consuming is SEO?

I'm not necessarily talking about big companies doing LOTS of internet commerce. I'm talking about fairly well-to-do local area small businesses that want a web presence for their company. Mostly static informational type content.

2. Where can I go to learn about the most effective ways to perform SEO for these types of businesses? Any type for that matter!

3. How much does one charge for this stuff?

4. I have LOTS of other tasks in my daily routine and wonder if I should just find a competent SEO company and just outsource. Good idea? Bad idea? Know someone? Recomendations?

Your help in this matter is greatly appreciated,

Given your level of experience with SEO, you are probably better off if you partner with a local SEO company.

There are tens of thousands of articles and tutorials on the Web that teach you the basics, but it takes quite a bit of time and experience to keep up with this issue.
