Right now, i'm Dominating google ads locally with the (#1 spot with only $XXX/month spend), i'm pulling strong revenue ( 20x ) [$xx xxx/ month] in a heavily ad driven local market.

SEO won’t magically put my website above ads, so i'll be likely just be paying ex: $2-3K/month SEO Agency fee for traffic that’s already coming from my ads & Google Business profile.

SEO doesn’t replace paid ads, it’s more like a slow extra lane of traffic. Even if you ranked organically #1 for some keywords, you still appear below:

* 4–6 Google Ads (the sponsored spots)

* 4–6 Google Business Profile section (maps & reviews)


For my situation most local customers never scroll far enough to see organic results past that point, especially for mobile searches, where sponsored + maps take up the whole first screen.

Thanks to everyone that have chipped in, I was already buying links; BEST ADVICE received.
