The facts are that when you are beginning a new company you have to be very careful how you allocate funds. There are definitely different avenues of saving money. If you are considering cutting the cost of SEO services then think about the whole picture. You could lose a whole lot more than you save by trying to do the online marketing yourself.
Many people think that marketing is just marketing and how different can online marketing be? Honestly, it is very different. In online marketing you are not appealing to people but to search engine spiders that may or may not like what you are doing, how your site is laid out, or the keywords that you are using. It requires a lot of research to find out what the search engines are looking for and even more to stay current with any changes that they are making.
So in answer to your question-Yes, you could probably do SEO management for yourself, if you have the time and energy to dedicate to doing the research, making the changes, and of course you have the knowledge to do all these things, including putting in the appropriate keywords etc. But honestly, if you are just starting out in your own business you probably don't have the time to do all this additional work yourself.
If after thinking about it you think the best course of action is not doing SEO work in house, all the better. If you are hoping your business will get bigger without an SEO then you will need years to wait and see if it happens. People have to muck through so much to find things online because the internet is packed so full of endless information. An SEO pushes information to the top of the muck where its visible.
The bottom line is that no matter where you make cut backs in your business, do not sacrifice your marketing. SEO is a requirement for the success of any online business, and foregoing this could mean losing your business altogether and that is a dangerous position to be in.
