We find most of our SEO sales come from people who have actually tried it and get stuck on page 25 and realize: "Wow - There is something to this." Yes, you can do it yourself. But just you like you mention with the patio, it won't look as good (i.e., work as well)... People who do something day-in and day-out are just better at it.. Common sense. I don't think it will be long before this realization sinks in and the idea that every Fortune 100 company will have expert SEO teams (in house or outsourced) will be well accepted. It already is in many places. I think the “I can just do this myself” is a hang-over from the days when SEO was much less competitive.

If you have a 20+ page manual in front of you, then I would hire a professional (saves time). On the other hand if you have a 5 page (or less) manual in front of you, do it yourself. We just need to keep things simple and anyone can do it.

It is expensive and most can be done by amateurs if they use well known common practices: content, inbound links, relevant title tags on inbound links, etc. I think too much is made of SEO.

Money is a renewable resource... but once you've spent your time, there's no way to get it back. Even in the "early days" of building your business, investing your limited time and other resources into the most profitable use is the difference between business life and business death. IMHO: If you want to make SEO your career, invest your time/energy/resources into learning what it takes to make that happen. If you want to build any other kind of business, hire others who already know what you need to know and let them do their job so you can focus on what you do best.

So putting some time into learning the basic SEO is realistic. Paid SEO is just a temporary solution. The way i look at it is:
