Thanks to everyone for their advice, much appreciated TBH I cant really afford the cost of the SEO company at the cost they require, I think for a small limited area eg Somerset and for pest control it would not take that much work if they knew what they were doing?
We spend around £2000 on Yellow pages at the moment but this is really not bringing in the return anymore this is why I was looking at other options.
So far my instant pro website has by far been the best advertising we have ever done in relation to cost and return, OK It took time to develop and promote and its not the best in the world but it is working. Bearing in mind the average spend of a customer is £50 then with both the YP and an SEO service thats alot of £50's and the area we cover may not sustain that amount of work.
I will do some tweaking if I can and when I get stuck then I will take up the very reasonable offer of help from Freeola :-)
Thanks again

Dont you own about 20 range rovers? I think your rates are fine :P
And do you have to put your links on EVERY post? Its really annoying having to remove them when quoting.

£75 ish an hour is pretty steep I would have thought.
Large projects may be able to stomach that but most small business owners wouldn't be too happy...

£300 a month isnt much. For those that have the luxury of charging top rates for their time, its only an hour a week or so. Can easily spend that monitoring and tweaking if you're serious about your SEO. Obviously there are dubious people/companies out there but that doesnt mean everybody is.
And you're doing pretty well for "pest control taunton" I think, Dograt? You've got 2 out of the top 5 results on Google. At that point I think presentation (how google shows the result) is more important than gaining a few places.
One thing that might be worth thinking about is splitting your area page and renaming it. 2 pages focusing on the counties you cover, ie pest control somerset & pest control devon. A feature of all the sites ranking above is to tightly focused landing pages like this. So they've got somerset and pest control in the URL as well as the page title.

After sorting out a site what are they spending £295 a month on?
It's either a con or they're using 'black hat' link building etc. which could all backfire...
Main things he was talking about were
micro sites for link building
Facebook/twitter/linked in
Link building
Blog
Landing pages
One problem I have is that google will bring up well 3 of my pages well eg home,wasp nests and bedbugs but will not seem to bring up the other pages.
I would really love to have the google search to bring up the main home page and the options for each page below like the freeola snippet does.
I would like to be able to dominate the first page for the search pest control somerset / pest control Taunton !!!! (Wishful thinking) after all I am a rat man not a website designer !

Blimey.
Can I take this opportunity to recommend Freeola's Assisted Web Design & SEO service? Our design team can perform SEO updates and improvements to the content of your website for a very reasonable price of £35 per hour (ex VAT).
You can request specific SEO changes (for example if you just want header tags added to each of your pages), or a complete SEO audit and update.
Just let us know what you want, and we'll give you a quote for the amount of hours it would take.
Alternatively, as Hmmm... and Garin have pointed out, you'll be able to manually insert header tags into the content of standard pages by using the HTML option on the editor. It's already been linked to, but you may want to check out the Changing or Adding to HTML code guide.

You can manually use tags with InstantPro as has been suggested - I've just tried it.
FWIW Here's a Matt Cutts video on H1.
Don't get carried away :¬)
Perhaps you could report back in a few months to say how it's changed your search engine placement?
I'm always advising my clients to stay well clear from SEO *experts* that promise results with similar costs to the ones you've posted!

I often see visitor log entries from a company sometimes calling themselves 'F*rstF*und' name messed up to save any embarrassment for Freeola)but now use lots of different names as their reputation is so tarnished. They then cold call my clients offering them 'deals'. It always amuses me that an SEO company has to resort to cold calling!
