SEO Expert vs. SEO Agency: Making the Right Choice for Your Business (Decision Makers Edition) with Favour Obasi-ike with Favour Obasi-Ike | Sign up for exclusive SEO insights.Episode SummaryBusiness decision-makers constantly face the challenge of choosing between a solo SEO expert and a full-service SEO agency to drive their online growth. In this episode, host Favour Obasi-ike is joined by guests Marc McIntosh, (G.A.) Pimpleton, and Jolanta Kissoon Young to demystify this critical choice.The discussion unpacks the distinct roles of each provider, revealing that an expert acts like a specialist "doctor" for targeted advice, while an agency serves as a holistic "coach" for comprehensive execution. The conversation also ventures into the dark side of the industry, exposing common pitfalls and scams with firsthand accounts of fraudulent practices.Finally, the group provides a concrete, actionable framework for vetting a trustworthy partner, emphasizing the non-negotiable need for proven results and the power of earned trust to ensure your SEO investment translates into real business growth.Read New SEO Article: Is It Worth Hiring an SEO Expert in 2026?

The most critical first step is to align your business stage with the right provider. An SEO expert is ideal for startups or businesses needing strategic advice, specialized audits, or tactical guidance ("seeing where the needle is"). A full-service agency is better suited for mid-to-large companies that require an aggressive, multi-disciplinary growth strategy and hands-on implementation ("moving the needle").Second, "receipts" are non-negotiable. Do not hire a provider based on promises alone. Demand tangible proof of their competence and impact. Ask for detailed case studies, analytics, and data—what G.A. calls "receipts"—that show where past clients in your industry started and where they finished. This data should clearly demonstrate an increase in revenue, reach, and other key business metrics.Third, trust is earned through value. The most reliable and effective SEO partners are often those who don't rely on aggressive advertising. As Marc argues, trust is built over time. Seek out experts and agencies who freely educate their audience through podcasts, blogs, or online communities. This demonstrates genuine expertise, builds a foundation of trust, and proves they are more focused on delivering value than just making a sale.Detailed Episode Breakdown & Timestamps1. Introduction: The Core DilemmaStarting at 00:00, host Favour Obasi-ike opens the discussion by framing the critical decision business owners face: whether to engage a freelance SEO expert or a larger SEO agency. He emphasizes the strategic importance of this choice, noting that it can define a company's digital foundation and shape its future growth trajectory.At 01:15, Favour Obasi-ike provides an initial breakdown of the fundamental differences, describing an expert as a specialist focused on a specific problem, while an agency covers a comprehensive range of needs. He also introduces the idea that, under specific circumstances, the two can work together effectively.At 03:30, two primary scenarios for collaboration are detailed: an expert can augment an agency's team with specialized skills for a particular project, or an expert can be brought in to provide a "third eye" perspective for an established in-house team, offering an outside view to improve internal processes.With the core dilemma established, the discussion moves to the crucial task of matching your specific business needs to the right provider model.2. Differentiating Roles: The Doctor vs. The CoachBeginning at 05:00, the conversation highlights that to make a smart investment, you must first diagnose your own needs. This section provides a clear framework—the "Doctor vs. the Coach"—to help you distinguish between the need for tactical advice versus comprehensive execution and align your specific requirements with the right type of service provider.At 06:45, the conversation compares the two roles using a clear analogy: the expert is like a doctor who diagnoses and prescribes, while the agency is like a coach who manages the team and executes the game plan. The SEO Expert, or "Doctor," acts as a consultant or specialist who provides tactics and strategies, helping you "see where the needle is." They typically cost between $500 to $3,000+ per month on average. The SEO Agency, or "Coach," provides a full team for execution and acts as the "backbone of your brand online," actively "moving the needle" for you with a robust, multidisciplinary approach.At 09:10, Favour Obasi-ike explains the concept of an SEO agency acting as the technical "backbone" for a brand online. An agency is responsible for a wide array of needs, from generating traffic and performing technical fixes to assisting with branding, backlinks, and local SEO.At 11:25, clear advice is given on when to hire each: an expert is ideal for those just starting out who need to learn the ropes and get strategic direction. In contrast, an agency is necessary for mid-to-large businesses or well-funded startups that require an aggressive, multifaceted growth strategy.While understanding the ideal roles is essential, the real risk lies in the industry's dark side. The speakers now pivot to the critical red flags that can save a business from costly mistakes.3. Industry Pitfalls: Scams, Red Flags, and Cautionary TalesAt 15:30, the conversation shifts to address the "bad rep" of the SEO industry, highlighting why business owners must be exceptionally vigilant. This segment underscores the importance of recognizing red flags to avoid wasting money, losing time, and protecting critical company assets like websites and data.At 17:00, G.A. shares his negative experiences with agencies, explaining his preference for direct, one-on-one relationships. He recounts a client's horror story where a previous agency held their website and data hostage, making it nearly impossible to transition to a new provider and regain control of their own intellectual property.At 20:15, Marc McIntosh offers a powerful anecdote about a new client who had been paying a significant sum for "SEO services" but did not even have Google Analytics or Google Search Console connected to their site—a fundamental flaw. He warns against providers selling overpriced, templated services and using fake bot traffic to manipulate reports and create the illusion of progress.At 24:50, G.A. describes a common scam in his industry where companies buy recycled, low-quality leads from "SEO experts" who use impressive-sounding buzzwords like "quantum computing" to sell ineffective, boilerplate services that fail to deliver genuine clients.Recognizing the scams is half the battle; the other half is proactively identifying a trustworthy partner. The conversation now provides a practical vetting framework to do just that.4. Vetting a Partner: How to Find a Trustworthy ProviderStarting at 28:00, and armed with an understanding of the risks, this section delivers a practical toolkit for due diligence. Follow these systematic steps to move beyond a provider's sales pitch and verify their true capabilities, establishing a successful and transparent partnership from the start.At 29:30, the speakers collectively outline actionable steps for vetting any potential SEO provider.First, ask probing questions. Favour Obasi-ike suggests asking specific operational questions to gauge professionalism and process, such as: "What is your tech stack?", "How do you handle sensitive data and passwords?", and "How do you work as a team?".Second, demand "receipts" (proof of work). Synthesizing advice from the panel, this point stresses the need to see hard evidence. Demand what GA calls "receipts"—case studies, analytics, and performance data showing where clients started and finished. Additionally, as H advises, ensure these case studies explain the strategy behind the results, demonstrating their understanding of your industry.Third, check their own fundamentals. Marc provides a simple but effective tip: audit the provider's own website for basic SEO health. If they have fundamental errors like multiple H1 tags (Mark's example) or an outdated copyright date (Jolanta's example), it's a major red flag.Fourth, verify their authority. Look for tangible proof that they are a genuine expert in their field. A credible provider often has a presence on platforms like LinkedIn, hosts a podcast, writes a blog, or runs a community where they actively share knowledge and engage with their industry.Fifth, prioritize referrals and earned trust. Marc makes a compelling argument that the best partners are found through trusted referrals, not advertisements. He advises following potential experts over time. Those who consistently teach and give value freely are building genuine trust, making them a much safer and more reliable choice.A thorough vetting process is the best defense against industry scams and serves as the foundation for a fruitful, long-term relationship.5. Final Thoughts & Resources MentionedAt 45:00, the final segment wraps up the discussion by covering specific tools and platforms that can aid in SEO efforts. This reinforces the core idea that successful SEO is not a one-time fix but an ongoing, dynamic process of learning, implementation, and adaptation.At 46:15, the discussion touches on leveraging specific platforms for greater reach. In response to Jolanta's question, Favour Obasi-ike explains that Pinterest is a powerful visual search engine, not just a social media platform. Because the lifespan of a "pin" is 3.5 months to 5 months (compared to 19-72 hours for an Instagram post), content published there continues to drive traffic and build authority for a brand long after it's posted.At 52:30, the tools and platforms mentioned throughout the episode include: ClickUp, Zoom, Google Search Console, Google Analytics, ChatGPT, LinkedIn, Clubhouse, and Pinterest.At 55:00, Favour Obasi-ike closes the episode with a final call to action, encouraging listeners to connect with him directly via the link in his bio to turn the insights from the conversation into concrete action for their businesses.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

主播：Flora（中国）+ Selah（美国） 音乐：Alone每到年末，总需要一些停顿与回望。今天两位主播就用10个问题，来对2025年进行总结回顾！01. What Were Your Biggest Wins This Year? 今年你最大的收获是什么？��主播Selah：“今年我最大的成就之一是开始了自己的事业（starting my own business），并且拥有了一整年稳定的客户（clients）。Selah努力拼搏（work hard），敢于冒险（take risks），主动向朋友寻求推荐（ask friends for recommendations），再加上她始终坚信自己的服务值得付费（worth people paying for her services），最终收获了如今的成果。从中可以看出，Selah绝对是实干派（“get things done” type）。��主播Flora：“今年我负责的播客节目（podcast）终于正式上线了！尤其在时间紧张的情况下，把控好项目中每一件事的进展节奏并不容易。It truly wasn't easy, but I made it!”Flora认为：首先，你要相信自己正在做的事情（believe in what you're doing now）；然后，制定计划确保一切按日程推进（make plans to make sure everything is moving according to schedule）；最后，付诸行动（just do it）。02. What Challenges Did You Face and How Did You Handle Them? 你遇到了哪些困难，是如何应对的？��主播Selah：“今年我着实碰上了不少挑战（faced some challenges）：新婚第一年的磨合、搬家的奔波，再加上自己当老板的压力。面对这些时刻，我都会向身边爱的人寻求建议（by getting advice from people I love）。过程不易，但它教会了我要有韧性（to be resilient）。当你有困难的时候，爱你的人（people who love you）总会给你力量！��主播Flora：“如果说今年最大的挑战，我觉得是处理自己不擅长的人际关系（interpersonal relationship）。但现在我取得了很大进步，关键在于积极调整心态，并愿意做出改变和行动。It wasn't easy, but it taught me a lot.”03. Which Habits Fueled You and Which Ones Held You Back? 哪些习惯滋养了你，哪些阻碍了你？��主播Selah：“我养成了锻炼和去健身房（gym）的好习惯。They helped me feel more disciplined and healthy (更有纪律、更健康). 同时，一些习惯也拖了后腿（held me back），like wanting to sleep in and watch TV。I'm still learning how to let those go.”��主播Flora：“我每周都会做普拉提（Pilates），感觉保持运动的习惯很重要。但有时我会在休息日前一晚熬夜（stay up late the night before my day off），it's really a bad habit！”04. Did You Live Your Core Values This Year? 今年你践行了你的核心价值观了吗？��主播Selah：“想到我的核心价值观（core values）——勤奋、诚实、友谊与持续成长（ethic, honesty, friendship and continual growth），我觉得在今年开启许多新事物时，我确实践行了它们。当然，也有不少可以做得更好的地方，比如更用心地维系新老朋友的关系。Friendships can be tiring sometimes (需要精力经营).”��主播Flora：“我也觉得，自己一直都在践行着个人的核心价值观——这些信念向来是坚定且不易动摇的（pretty unshakable）。但平衡新朋友和旧友的关系确实是个课题。”05. How Did You Grow Personally and Professionally This Year? 今年你在个人与职业层面是如何成长的？��主播Selah：“在个人和职业上，我成长了许多，更敢于寻求帮助、进行自我推销（promoting myself）。当然，我还在学习管理财务方面（accounting parts）的知识。”��主播Flora也非常同意，表示：“自我推销是一项必备能力，它不仅意味着自信（self-confidence），更重要的是——你真正了解自己。”06. What Are the Relationships That Positively Impacted Your Life? 哪些关系对你的生活影响最深？��主播Selah：“给予我积极影响的人，是我的丈夫、家人以及最好的朋友。他们总愿意耐心倾听我的心声（being a listening ear），提醒我生活中真正重要的东西（reminding me of what truly matters in life）——不只是埋头工作，更要学会享受生活的乐趣。”��主播Flora：“我非常感激（grateful for）现在一起工作的同事（colleagues），他们不仅在专业上帮助我精进，也在生活上给予我很多关心与建议。”07. What Resources or Skills Would Have Helped You Reach Your Goals Faster?哪些资源或技能会让你更快达成目标？��主播Selah：“说实话（honestly），如果能花更多时间建立业务的后勤体系（establish the logistics of my business），会很有帮助。我也希望自己能更早培养会计类的技能，这是明年我想要更有意识（more intentional）提升的方向。”��主播Flora：“I wanted to say I really have nothing to complain about (抱怨). 但说到时间，我也总觉得不够用。”08.

What does modern leadership actually require—and why do toxic leaders continue to rise, even in companies that claim to value culture?In this episode of the Spartan Leadership Podcast, Josh Kosnick sits down with Lyndsay Dowd—former IBM executive, Harvard guest lecturer, bestselling author, and founder of Heartbeat for Hire—for a raw, honest conversation about leadership, power, burnout, and reinvention at any age.Lyndsay shares her personal leadership journey, the moment she was fired after 23 years in corporate leadership, and why that experience became the catalyst for building heart-led, high-performance cultures. Together, Josh and Lyndsay explore why top performers don't always make great leaders, how burnout is often a signal—not a weakness—and why leading with heart isn't soft, it's strategic.This episode is for leaders who are tired of performative culture talk and want leadership that actually works.Topics covered: • Why toxic leadership keeps getting rewarded • Power vs. responsibility in leadership • Reinventing yourself at any stage of life • Separating identity from title and performance • Burnout, trust, and psychological safety • What heart-led leadership really looks like in practice

Yogi Goel, cofounder and CEO of Maxima AI, breaks down how he hires outlier talent, people who think like future founders and thrive when the plan changes fast. We get practical on what to look for beyond pedigree, how to assess it without relying on easy resume signals, and how culture scales when your team doubles.Yogi also shares what Maxima AI is building, an agentic platform for enterprise accounting that automates day to day operations and month end work, and why the best teams win by pairing speed with real ownership.Key takeaways• Outlier candidates often look “non standard” on paper, the signal is founder mentality, fast thinking, grit, and a point to prove• Hiring gets easier when it is always on, keep a living bench of great people long before you have a headcount• Use long form conversations to assess how someone thinks, not just what they have done, ask for their life story and listen for the choices they highlight• Train the specifics, but set a baseline for domain aptitude, then coach the narrow parts once the fundamentals are there• Culture scales through leaders and through what you reward and penalize, not through posters and slogansTimestamped highlights00:39 What Maxima AI does and the real value of agentic accounting01:38 Defining an outlier candidate as a future founder, and why school matters less than you think07:34 The conveyor belt approach to recruiting, building an inventory of great people before you need them11:35 Where to draw the line on training, test for general aptitude, coach the specifics14:20 How diverse teams disagree productively, bring evidence, run small bets, then double down or pivot18:25 Scaling culture with values driven leaders, and the simple rule of reward versus penaltyA line worth keeping“Culture is two things, what you reward and what you penalize.”Pro tips you can steal• Keep a short list of the best people you have ever met for each function, update it constantly• Ask candidates for their journey from day zero, then pay attention to what they choose to emphasize• When the team disagrees, grab quick evidence, customer texts, small pulse checks, then place a small bet that will not kill the company• Expect great people to want autonomy and scope, manage like a mentor, not a hovercraftCall to actionIf this episode helped you rethink hiring, share it with a founder or engineering leader who is building a team right now.

Is 2026 the year you finally take control of your military finances? With a 3.8% pay raise, new TSP contribution limits of $24,500, and proven strategies that helped one E-7 reach $600,000 in net worth by year 14, Spencer and Jamie break down exactly how to build wealth while serving, even if you're starting from scratch or recovering from financial setbacks. In this episode, we provide a comprehensive 2026 financial reset for military families, covering everything from emergency funds and debt payoff to maxing tax-advantaged accounts and avoiding lifestyle creep. Perfect for anyone wanting to turn the new year into a fresh financial start. Main Discussion Points Know Where You Are Before You Start Track your spending using apps like Monarch Money, YNAB, Rocket Money, or simple spreadsheet Face your financial reality- write down all debt and net worth even if it's negative Government shutdown proved why emergency funds matter: 3-6 months of expenses minimum Example: $500 car repair covered by emergency fund eliminated stress entirely Unique Military Financial Advantages Tax-free income: BAH, BAS, COLA not subject to federal income tax or payroll taxes (7%+ savings) State tax residency: Change to tax-free state (Texas, Florida, etc.) when stationed there! Spouse can too under Military Spouse Residency Relief Act TSP match: 5% automatic match after 2 years for BRS members. Don't leave free money on table Healthcare and housing covered through Tricare and BAH/base housing Example: Saving $300/month by changing state residency adds up to thousands annually 2026 Numbers to Know TSP contribution limit: $24,500 (up from previous year) TSP annual additions limit: $72,000 (includes match and combat zone contributions) Roth IRA limit: $7,000 per person ($14,000 for married couples, even if spouse doesn't work) Military pay raise: 3.8% coming. Automate at least 1% of increase into TSP E6 with 8+ years gets roughly $150-180/month extra income from pay raise Priority Order for Tax-Advantaged Accounts Contribute 5% to TSP (get full government match for BRS members) Max Roth IRA: $7,000 for you, $7,000 for spouse Go back and max TSP at $24,500 Only then consider taxable brokerage accounts Total to max everything: $48,500 for married couples Don't stress if you can't max—contributing 10-20% is still excellent and beats average American 5% savings rate Invest Simply Using LADS Method Low-cost, Automated, Diversified, Simple TSP Lifecycle 2075 fund: 60% US stocks, 40% international, minimal bonds—perfect set-it-and-forget-it option Alternative: 80% C Fund, 10% S Fund, 10% I Fund Don't performance chase because last year's winner often becomes next year's loser Boring is beautiful in investing. Let it compound for 20 years Path to Military Millionaire Status E7 example: $500/month starting as E3, by age 45 = $1 million at 7% return Real example from Reddit: E7 with 14 years, $600,000 saved, contributing $20-25k/year In 10 years that E7 will have $1.2 million just from money already contributed (before new contributions) Add military pension: $30k/year plus $40k from 4% rule = $70k annual income in retirement Time is your biggest asset. US stock market doubles roughly every 7-10 years Common Mistakes to Avoid in 2026 Not contributing to TSP at all (minimum 5%, goal 15%+) TSP loans for non-emergencies...change behavior instead New car trap: 7-year car loans becoming standard, shooting yourself in financial foot Lifestyle creep: Give half of pay raise to savings, half to lifestyle improvements Waiting for "perfect time."

If your experience suddenly feels harder to translate—or the rules feel different without warning—this conversation will help you see what's actually happening beneath the noise. | This episode brought to you by: Job Search 3.0 - Stop endlessly applying for jobs.

Ever feel like you're drowning in tasks but can't afford help? Or maybe you've built a team that's bleeding your profits dry? Welcome to the business staffing conversation nobody's having honestly.In this wildly practical episode, Leonie Dawson and Tamara Protassow dive deep into the messy middle of hiring, firing, and right-sizing your business. From Leonie's experience managing 25+ staff (spoiler: it nearly broke her) to running a 7 figure business with just 1-2 part-time VAs, you'll get the real talk on what actually works.Topics Covered:Red flags that you have too little support (and when to finally hire)Warning signs you've hired too many people (and how to fix it)The "rescue fantasy" trap that keeps you from leading yourselfWhat to outsource first (and what to keep doing yourself)Income-to-staffing ratios that actually make senseHow to protect yourself from "irreplaceable" team membersSystems that save your sanity (and your business)Key Insights:If you can't afford to hire, you don't have a proven business model yet—focus on marketing and pricing firstBookkeeping and tax should be your FIRST outsource—it's affordable and frees crucial brain spaceUnder $1M in revenue? You only need 1-2 part-time VAs in most online business modelsStandard Operating Procedures aren't optional—they're your insurance policy when life happensMore staff = more complexity, not more speed. Small teams move faster.If someone makes your business seem impossibly complicated, they're the problem (not the solution)Lower your household expectations before hiring help—are you leading yourself or waiting for rescue?Templates and systems can save you from "Sharon mode" (ask Leonie's family about that one)The "delegate everything" advice is BS—some tasks ground you and spark your best ideasWhen staff leave, your business should run smoothly. If it doesn't, you have a documentation problem.Ready to build a business that supports your life instead of consuming it? Join Leonie's Academy for workshops on hiring VAs, creating SOPs, and right-sizing your empire. Plus, connect with a community of creative, neurodivergent entrepreneurs who get it.Notable Quotes:"If you feel like your business is just far too complicated and absolutely must have this one person or your business will not work, I want you to know that you are wrong and that you need to get rid of that person as soon as possible." – Leonie Dawson"We are not actually brain surgeons. We are not rocket scientists. And every single person in this world really is replaceable." – Leonie Dawson"Are you actually leading yourself or are you wanting someone to rescue you?" – Leonie Dawson"The more somebody makes out that the business is very complicated, the more that person needs to leave because businesses actually aren't that complicated." – Leonie Dawson"Your best ideas don't come at the laptop. They happen in blank space moments when you're in the shower, when you're cooking dinner, when you're wafting about your raspberry patch." – Leonie DawsonWho This Podcast Is For:Creative women entrepreneurs, neurodivergent business owners, and soul-led service providers who want to build profitable businesses without sacrificing their sanity, values, or family time.

Let the record show, records were meant to be corrected.

Why hire a part-time paralegal when you can hire an actual attorney at a comparable rate?  Whether you're a growing firm or an attorney looking for part-time work, hear why this could be the solution you've been looking for.  Questions or ideas about solo and small practices? Drop us a line at NewSolo@legaltalknetwork.com.  Topics: Contract and part-time remote attorneys can help busy, growing firms find affordable legal assistance when things get hectic.
