Do I need an SEO company or can I do it myself for my practice?
If you run a professional services practice, a website & SEO audit shows whether do-it-yourself SEO is realistic.
You market a professional services practice. Your website sits there while competitors get calls. You hear agencies pitch six-month retainers. You have nights and weekends but not a big budget. You keep wondering if you can just learn SEO yourself.
Professional services sites often have the same problem: pages that list services but do not answer client questions. You copy your About page from an old brochure. You list practice areas without plain language or location. Google looks for clear, original pages that match a search. When it cannot tell what your firm does, it quietly skips you.
DIY SEO takes weeks of reading and months of trial. You learn keywords, meta tags, internal links. Then you wait. An audit shows exactly which parts you can handle yourself and which need a professional. Cost depends on site size and how many competitors I read. A small practice site might need a few hours of review. A larger firm with many pages takes longer.
Do not sign a retainer yet. Do not buy an SEO course yet. Book a website and SEO audit first. FocusDude reads every page of your site and your top competitors. You get a list of what is broken, what is invisible to Google, and what is costing you leads. Then you decide whether to do it yourself or hire help, with evidence instead of guesswork.
You will know which pages pull their weight and which pages Google ignores. You will have a clear list of fixes you can do on your own and a short list of things that need an expert. No more retainer anxiety. No more guessing. Just a website that works as hard as you do.

why is my website not showing up on google
Usually one of a few findable causes: pages blocked from indexing, no pages targeting what people search, or a site structure Google gave up on. An audit pinpoints which one within a day, with proof.
my website gets traffic but no leads
A website audit finds the gaps: unclear calls to action, slow pages, broken forms, or content that doesn't match what people search. Fix those before you spend more on ads.
