If you hire people to update content, handle SEO, and buy backlinks, $500 won’t be enough. However, for a small-scale SEO campaign with a limited number of backlinks, it’s a reasonable investment.
How would you spend $500/month on SEO for the best results?

Absolutely! The technical aspect must always take precedence.
When everything else is sorted out, good content coupled with some high-quality, targeted backlinks will help a great deal.
There's no sense in creating any backlinks until all the other aspects are sorted out.

Although I agree that on-page optimization should be the priority first, only good quality backlinks cannot solve everything.
Technical factors, intent, good content, and niche-related backlinks are what can make it possible to have sustained results.

I wouldn't spend 500usd a month on SEO, just focus getting your own PBNs is cheaper

With a $500 budget, first get a group buy tool or Ahrefs for your on-page and technical fixes. Then check Google Search Console for pages already sitting on page 2, optimize their content with high-intent keywords, and invest in some quality backlinks.

Sure! Making improvements to existing pages, taking care of any technical problems, and establishing quality backlinks would prove more effective than doing several things for which there isn’t enough money.
