  17. If your selling firewood Work locally and restrict your ads to a tight postcode area That will get you top of the tree without spending too much ( hopefully ) Loads of people advertising in areas they cannot supply Loads of rip off merchants in SEO i spent several months last year looking at them Their trick is to get you to pay £500 per month for 15 months so they get £7500 for not much work If you have to go SEO route get woorank and make sure you follow everything it says 100% that will get you to the top And its free if you only do a bit each week And if you do all changes you'll get there fastersaving £7500 and get benefits quicker
