Factors to Consider before Outsourcing SEO of Your Site
If you are thinking of outsourcing the search engine optimization of your website, there are a few factors that are important to account for before the start of the project. These factors are the following:
-
The amount of work required to successfully optimize your site depends on the type of business you compete in. For highly competitive areas, the process can be time-consuming. Depending on the market value of your keywords, the time required to optimize your website can range from one week to several months or even longer.
-
Once the work is complete, the SEO results may not become apparent for another few weeks (usually 4-8 weeks). At his time, it is important to start implementing marketing programs to help increase your visibility on the Internet (e.g. Google's AdWords, Overture, etc.), and we help you enroll in these campaigns quickly and cost-effectively.
-
You need to be prepared to make changes to your website. In some cases, these changes can be small while in other cases, they can be quite significant. What needs to be changed and/or added will depend on how ambitious your Web Marketing objectives are and how aggressively you decide to pursue them. We will help you make informed decisions and carefully evaluate your strategies and goals.
-
You need to be prepared to provide as much documentation related to your business as possible, i.e. your white papers, technology overview, product description, PowerPoint presentations, demo scripts, and most importantly, your website copy (i.e. your web content).
-
You need to ensure cooperation of other members of your team or, in the case of a larger company, other teams or even departments, to help ensure smooth project development and fast results.
