Outsourcing SEO Projects is a Risky Business


Most organizations know that good search engine placement will attract more visitors to websites and can increase sales substantially.  Whether they have previously used SEO (search engine optimization) outsourcing or whether they have attempted to develop in-house resources, surprisingly few organizations are currently actively trying to capitalize on this opportunity.

 

In-House rather than SEO Outsourcing

History shows that there are several possible reasons why in-house SEO projects often fail:


No clear purpose, objectives and timeframes
Lack of management training in the fundamentals of internet marketing in general, and SEO in particular
Exclusive delegation of responsibility for SEO success to an in-house web-developer who knows little about marketing
Exclusive delegation of responsibility for SEO success to an in-house marketing professional who knows little about web pages, their usability and their 'spider ability'
Even if some initial success is achieved, it is unsustainable if funding is not provided for staffing, equipping, training and, very importantly, keeping people up to date with the fast moving SEO world as Google and the others try and stay one step ahead of the great 'black hat' sharks.

SEO Outsourcing can work - if care is taken

 

Organizations with greater financial resources often decide that search engine optimization is not a core competence and seek strategic suppliers for this service. Either way, companies who want to reap the benefits of good search engine placement through the use of third party services face many challenges.

The client organization must retain overall responsibility for the SEO outsourcing project. Failure to establish a clear purpose as well as setting measurable supporting objectives and timeline deliverables will doom the project from the start.

 

Once an organization is clear on what the purpose and expectations are for the SEO project, the next challenge is to develop a specification of requirements before going to the market to seek a suitable SEO services company. This specification, normally in the form of a living document, is essential preparation before engaging with prospective SEO services suppliers.

 

Even with a clear purpose and objectives, a well defined timeline and a detailed specification of requirements, the purpose and motivation of any prospective SEO organization need to be assessed. For example, there can be huge differentials in the prices quoted by various SEO companies to deliver a given requirements specification. It is not unheard of for SEO experts to offer a very low price when their primary motivation is to understand your business and your niche with a view to reusing their work by either competing with you or selling the same solution to your competitors.

Clarity of purpose, well defined objective and timeline, a comprehensive specification of requirements including ground rules for management and communications, as well as the careful selection of a reliable and effective supplier can avoid many problems.

 

These problems include 'scope creep' where the goalposts are continually moving, poor communications between the in-house business person and the jargon-rich supplier who often seems to be speaking a different language, and a gradual breakdown in trust.

The sad reality, particularly with smaller organizations, is that clients are often "too busy to get involved". This is usually why they have decided to outsource SEO services in the first instance.

 

Even the most professional SEO services company is powerless when it comes to achieving long-lasting, needle-moving results for a client who isn't willing or able to help. New online training courses for managers have started to appear, such as 'Outsourcing SEO Projects' from the author's firm. These courses can go a long way towards mitigating the risks and paying for themselves many times over as they help to ensure the successful SEO project outsourcing.

Deciding on the Most Effective SEO Outsourcing Firm


Locating the best SEO Company which can help your website attain top rankings in search engines is mostly a hard job. You must know a number of details of the SEO firm, several basic facts as well as statistics, and the dedication of the effort before deciding on the firm.

An excellent SEO Company would be able to reveal results decisively. As an example, you're able to see whether the SEO company was able to build traffic, turn many of the browsers to clients, build sufficient link popularity, supercharge sales, leads, and also figure out the tricks and tips to make a website stick on top rankings for months together.

But, how could you come across this astonishingly productive SEO Firm? Listed here are a few aspects to evaluate before you can discover a reliable SEO team.

Successes of the SEO Company

The outcomes would demonstrate how effective an SEO Company has been for the customers. Recommendations from the clients, portfolio examinations, as well as evaluations of the SEO Organization within social media websites are useful approaches to discover the best Seo Agency for your webpage.

You can even examine the seo'ed pages and determine if the answers are real or not. Be sure and note the wide range of web pages tweaked by the Seo Agency. Just how the customer webpages rated within search engines? Exactly what do the testimonails from others say? Is it possible to choose the most significant, positive elements of the Seo Agency? -- Or, those sites don't really possess something extraordinary about them. Answering these questions would help you find out the correct Seo Company for your business.

Own Ranking Formulae

A Seo company must have a great crew to work on the clients sites. Even so, the easiest way it can show off its marketing skills is to make its own site SEO-savvy. If the website is top rated and has its own reputation, brand identity, and group, you can be sure that the Seo Company is capable of doing exactly the same for your website.

Old is Gold

Seo isn't a new notion. It only takes a long time to show the results. Discover an seo Company which has stayed in business for an extended time and also has valued leads to exhibit. The key idea is always to stay away from fly-by-the-night organizations which are there only to get money from you.

An SEO organization that has stayed running a business may explicitly point out the work it can easily do, results it can achieve, and the remuneration it needs for those jobs.

The period meant for a wholesome SEO marketing

SEO involves time and energy. Moreover it needs a large amount of keeping track, deeper tweaking, reporting, examines, and also web 2. 0 to have success. The truth is, SEO is really an on-going effort and constant.

As a result, most SEO companies offer a long-time optimization plan. The remuneration can either be project-based, result-based, or even task-based. Generally, a great Seo company would be able to specify the exact tasks it would offer for the corresponding fees.




The secrets that are behind a SEO campaign are innumerable but the ones that are behind a SEO Outsourcing company are the most important and must be known by everybody.

Outsourcing Your SEO Vs Self-Optimization


Many established companies have feared outsourcing their SEO because they think that having an optimization process would harm their privacy. Additionally, they believe that an outsider company might be a threat to their companies' secrets. That is why some companies have chosen to conduct self-SEO to avoid their secrets being leaked or being exposed to the public, especially to their competitors.

Self-SEO is undeniably cheaper than outsourcing an SEO project to those that specialize in this field. With this step, you don't have to deal with hiring costly experts because you have IT professionals inside your company (with little SEO skill to handle your optimization) to do the job. However, this cheap process lacks the special procedure a regular optimization has (keyword research, proper link building, article content writing), making it inefficient and inept.

Reselling fad, self-SEO, and why US companies fear outsourcing their SEO

No doubt about it, in-house optimizers are as good as SEO experts. However, these in-house optimizers do not have the full capability to duplicate the skill of experts from SEO companies. Although they handle their websites' physical rankings well (DA, PR), they fall short on achieving an exemplary online reputation (we all know that physical rankings like domain authority, Page Rank, and search engine positions are all useless without an established good online reputation). Moreover, online reputation is only achievable through focused and undivided SEO. That is why some companies who choose this thrifty move hire people from SEO industries, or those who have expertise in this field.

The SEO Reselling business is not a secret anymore to majority of businesses here in the United States. They are already aware that some SEO agents roaming around the streets and knocking on store doors, messaging on email and convincing owners through telephone, are only SEO Resellers getting their services from higher business entities called providers. The only thing that remains a secret to them is who these Resellers' providers are. In addition, this Reseller fad has created an additional alarm to business owners; outsourcing an SEO (which means their business online strategies) to unknown optimizers creates skepticism and fear, that doing a self-SEO is safer for them in terms of keeping their company secrets hidden and intact inside their own premises.

There is no way of knowing who these companies' providers are because they are bound by an agreement called White Label SEO that prohibits them from revealing the backend's name. However, it is your prerogative as a client to know about their skill and capability in launching and handling an efficient SEO campaign. Companies can ask for an established and valid portfolio (live optimized websites and not just a written URL from some unknown galaxy), and a systematic live optimization process explaining the importance and details of each process and terminologies to know their competence over other providers and even self-SEO.

Professionally speaking, outsourcing your SEO to seasoned, trustworthy, and capable SEO companies are better than doing the cheap self-SEO process. Achieving full-blown and complete SEO success can only be possible with focused optimization, a process self-SEO method cannot provide.

SEO Companies Outsourcing SEO Offshore?


It's funny that most of our clients are SEO companies from the US, UK, Canada and Australia. Yet they have the guts to call themselves SEOs when they barely do the SEO work. I'm not writing this article to intentionally malign any SEO company. It's just that there are several negative publicity written and published about offshore SEOs which are not true. What's worse is that these articles are written by SEO companies from the US, UK, Canada and Australia aimed at discrediting offshore SEOs. Ironically, these SEO companies are known to have outsourced SEOs in the Philippines and India. And still, on their blogs and published articles, they generalize that the offshore companies are incompetent!

It is true that outsourcing your SEO offshore comes with risks much like when you pick a company within your city, state or country. There will always be fraudulent companies offshore but this is also true to SEO companies in the US, UK, Canada and Australia. Risks are inevitable part of search engine optimization. In fact, results from SEO campaigns are highly uncertain because no one knows the exact formula on how search engine algorithms work. Your campaign may succeed or fail depending on various factors.

Why SEO Companies in the US, UK, Canada and Australia Outsource SEO Offshore

Apparently, cost is the main reason why outsourcing SEO is a popular strategy even for SEO companies. It costs twice as much to keep an American SEO than when you hire a Filipino SEO specialist to do the same job. Both countries have different cost of living, which explains the disparity in income but both SEOs are expected to do the same work and achieve the same result - top placements on the major search engines.

Competition has driven SEO businesses in the US, UK, Canada and Australia to outsource offshore. With the way the global economy is doing right now, it's not surprising that economic retrenchment has become a top priority for companies all over the world. Consequently, price or cost was catapulted as the main consideration when companies decide which outsourcing company to choose. Moreover, outsourcing companies cut-back on their expenses and explore their options for a cheaper business operation. Outsourcing offshore seems to be the only viable solution so they could keep up with the competition. Their competitors are already outsourcing, some if not all of their operations, to gain cost advantage so why shouldn't they?

I really don't have a problem with SEOs outsourcing SEO services offshore. Although they are more of an SEO reseller than an SEO company, they are still helpful in the operations of SEOs offshore because they provide them with additional jobs. What is not right is for them to destroy the reputation of SEO businesses offshore to create a mentality that they are the better option and that offshore SEO companies are a bunch of thugs.

Should You Consider Outsourcing SEO?


For any online business, deciding whose SEO services to employ is a major business decision. In light of the recent trend towards outsourcing business functions to offshore providers, one question that faces businesses is whether to consider outsourcing SEO to an offshore SEO services provider. This article will cover some of the benefits to outsourcing SEO.

Outsourcing, in general, can be a huge benefit to companies. Although many companies find it hard to do so, for a fear of a lack of control, those that outsource usually are glad they did. Typical benefits that companies that outsource experience are great results for much less cost. Outsourcing SEO is no exception.

One huge benefit to outsourcing SEO is that SEO services companies do SEO for a living, and are good at it. They have the SEO expertise and knowledge to get you the results you need. Being able to tap into the expertise of an SEO services provider will free you up to run your business while experiencing better SEO results than you could probably accomplish on your own.

Another benefit to outsourcing SEO is that it would cost you much less than it would to hire an SEO employee. Outsourcing SEO overseas is even cheaper than outsourcing to a local SEO services company. And just because it's outsourced to someone offshore, doesn't mean your results will be any worse. In fact, you will often experience even better results from outsourcing SEO offshore than you would from someone local, as offshore SEO services providers need to be good to get the business.

A third benefit is that by outsourcing SEO, and putting someone on it who has the time to dedicate to getting you your results, you will get your results much quicker than you would if you kept your SEO in-house and had to juggle SEO with trying to run your business.

Here's a story from my personal experience. My friend was launching an online business which was going to be entirely online, and so he needed good SEO in order to have a successful business. He chose to outsource the SEO services for the business to an offshore SEO. He was soon ranking in the top 5 results on Google for all his main search terms, even beating out Wikipedia and a government site for his most popular term. The best part about it was that he was getting these great results for only a few hundred dollars a month.

This example just goes to show that you can get great SEO results by outsourcing SEO. Here's a quick, three question test that will show you whether or not outsourcing SEO would be a good option for you:

Do you want to achieve great SEO results?
Do you want these great results at a great price?
Do you want great results quickly?

If you answered yes to these questions, then you should definitely consider using an offshore SEO services provider. Outsourcing SEO works, and businesses all over are experiencing that. You could too...

Outsourcing SEO Services


Most webmasters today hardly have enough time to manage their web business and like to outsource most things which can be outsourced effectively. Outsourcing a web design or a service like SEO saves precious time and money when done correctly. The challenge most webmasters face today is finding the correct outsourcing partner. One who is well qualified to carry out the job, has the necessary references of past work experience and is also affordable. This article is an attempt to guide webmasters to correctly outsource SEO services.

The SEO Outsourcing checklist:

1. Does the SEO Company/Professional you are hiring have a pre-formed plan for how they plan to execute your project?

2. Are they professionally qualified and do they have any third party certification which can be verified by you?

3. Do they have a website where you can examine their credentials, prices, testimonials, SEO package details?

4. Do they have contact details on their website like a phone number and physical address (not a P.O box)?

5. What are their hourly rates and how many hours are they committing to your project?

6. Have they clearly specified all applicable charges upfront - for example, link subscription charges, post ranking maintenance charges etc.?

7. And most importantly, do they practise ethical white hat SEO? This is very important unless you want your site to get banned.

These are some of the pertinent questions you should ask when it comes to outsourcing you project. Most professional and reputed SEO's / SEO firms will fulfill all the above requirements.

In addition to the above, you should ask your provider if your SEO service includes the following:

1. Site Visitor Usability and SE Indexability Analysis:

a. How user friendly is your website?

b. How Search Engine friendly is your website?

c. Does it have a clear navigation menu?

d. Does it have a Sitemap?

e. Is Important information easily accessible to the visitor?

f. Is there Javascript on your site? Does it contain Framed pages? etc.

2. Log file Analysis:

a. How much time are your visitors spending on your site?

b. Are they leaving in less than 10 seconds and why?

c. What are the pages they are viewing most?

d. Which keywords are visitors using to find your site?

e. Which Search Engines and other sites are referring the most visitors?

f. What are error pages are your visitors coming across? etc.

3. Keyword Analysis:

a. Are you using the right keywords for your site?

b. What is the search volume of your chosen keywords?

c. What is the KEI (Keyword Effectiveness Index) of your keywords?

d. How many keywords are you targeting for your entire site and what is your keyword sitemap (which keywords will be used on which page)?

e. Are you using synonyms and other keyword variants?

4. SEO Analysis:

a. Preliminary assessment report and competition analysis which should contain relevant information about who are your competitors, why they are ranking better than you and other details about your site like link popularity, Authority links, Trustrank links etc.

b. On page factors on your site that need to be changed or added, for example - meta tags, robots.txt, link anchor text, alt text etc.

c. Copywriting content for SEO

d. ILQ (incoming link quality) analysis

e. Creating additional content pages and rearranging existing pages if needed

5. Final Analysis and Recommendations Report:

a. To recommend step by step changes and actions needed from above 4 reports

b. Form a clear Action plan for executing recommended changes and a road map and timeline for it.

6. Follow up with Monthly Progress Reports and Ranking change reports:

a. Monthly progress reports should mention the details of the activity the SEO has carried out in the previous month for the client, the number of hours spent, links exchanged, links bought etc.

b. Ranking reports should indicate previous month rankings compared to past months for all keywords and the top pages.

7. Project Completion:

a. Finally, after desired rankings have been achieved, the SEO Company or SEO professional hired should provide a post-SEO recommendation Report for maintaining necessary rankings which should include the details of actions the webmaster needs to take to keep rankings intact, for example - paid link subscriptions that need to be paid monthly, article writing and distribution that needs to be done etc. If you have agreed to sign up for a post-SEO maintenance plan, this would be a good time to sign a fresh contract for a preset period - say 6 months or 1 year.

b. If the project was outsourced through a freelancers site like Elance.com, Guru.com, Scriptlance.com, Getafreelancer.com etc. make sure that you leave a truthful and accurate rating for the SEO company or freelancer you hired. This will help other webmasters evaluate them in the future.

c. All payment related transactions should be sorted out and payments due to the SEO firm, if any, should be made promptly.

Adhering to the above 7 steps and using them at the pre-bidding stage will ensure that you and your SEO company are on the same page, and they can then give you a more accurate quote for your job. This will provide you a complete SEO Solution.

We estimate that carrying out a full SEO job (including reporting) for a website, takes between 50-100 man hours of work for normal small business websites, 100-200 hours of work for a mid sized site and 200-300 hours of work for a large business site (depending on the keywords, quantum of work, type of site, backlinks, current rankings etc). These hours are generally spread over 3 - 6 months as achieving sustainable rankings takes time. If you are unsure about the number of hours that may be needed for your site, it is better to consult with a professional SEO firm beforehand. Most Search Engine Optimization companies will gladly give you a free estimate on the number of hours of work needed for optimizing your site and getting top ten rankings. Once you know that your site, for example, needs between 50-75 hours of SEO work, make sure that you mention this fact in your pre-bid stage as well. This will help avoid any misunderstanding later.

Most amateurs quote ridiculously low prices for SEO jobs on the freelance sites as A) they are not sure of the quantum of work involved, B) they are not qualified to carry it out, C) their definition of SEO is changing a few meta tags and other basic on page SEO factors, and/or D) they may still be in school/college freelancing part time for some extra pocket money. As a result - they muck up their client's site and also waste their precious time. They can also get your site banned by trying black hat tactics as they do not have a reputation to protect.

The following should raise red flags:

- those who charge less than $20/hour

- promise to complete your job in 15/30 days

- estimate less than 50 hours of work

- have no website/blog

- cannot provide you references of real people (past clients).

- have no qualification/certification

- do not provide their telephone number and address

- cannot show you the top rankings they have achieved

One thing webmasters must remember is "if you pay peanuts, you will only get monkeys". So, it always pays to hire a professional SEO Company for your important business website.




Best of luck!

Is Outsourcing SEO Offshore a Good Business Decision?


Outsourcing SEO offshore is becoming increasingly popular as a practical option for retrenching businesses. SEO companies in India and the Philippines, among developing countries, are the favorite choice from where SEO is outsourced. This is no surprise considering the fact that both countries have abundant supply of skilled laborers in the field of information technology.

Naturally, projects offered to western SEO companies have significantly declined crippling their operations. Western SEO companies go out of business while the opposite happens in the east. Unfortunately, some western SEO companies responded by maligning the quality of SEO services provided by offshore companies. To some extent, their sentiments are understandable but if you pay a close attention to their logic, you will realize just how self-serving it is.

Offshore SEO Service Equals Poor in Quality

This is the first attack you will commonly hear from western SEO companies. Somehow this is true, in the same manner that it is also true in the west. What I'm trying to say is, not all offshore SEO companies deliver crappy services and not all SEO companies in the west are reputable.

On the contrary, offshore SEO companies are in fact better than their western counterparts. In the west, SEO is mostly done as a part-time, home-based job. In India and the Philippines, SEOs work full-time in an office where SEO is their core business. They are not just housewives with minimal SEO training but they are highly skilled professionals with in-depth knowledge of SEO that has been acquired from intensive trainings.

In the Philippines, SEO professionals need to stay on top of their games. They go through a lot of trainings, seminars and workshops to have an edge over their peers, which explains why most of them have other skills like web design, graphic design, programming etc. This is a must if they want to keep their job. Why? Because competition is fierce. There are a lot of skilled SEOs but there's a few position to fill. In essence, when you work with SEO businesses in India and the Philippines, you are working with the bests.

Language Barrier

One of the biggest challenges that SEO companies in the Philippines and India face is language. As most of their clients are coming from the US, UK, Canada and Australia, they need to use English in their SEO campaign. Since English is not their first language, you would expect problems with their grammar. Fortunately, this is not the case for all offshore companies. A considerable number of SEO organizations in India and the Philippines employ professional writers for their content needs. Some western companies resort to providing their own content to SEO companies to ensure correctness in grammar.

And to assume that these companies in the Philippines and India don't know your objectives and don't understand your priorities, simply because English is not their first language, is too much of an assumption. You don't need to be an English speaker to understand that businesses operate for the same reason - to make profit. Proper realignment of your SEO strategies to achieve your client's goals and objectives do not depend on your comprehension of the English language.

Exploitation

The main selling proposition of SEO outsourcing companies offshore is cost-cutting. This is made possible because offshore companies in general operate at a much cheaper cost. Employees are paid a meager salary, almost a third of what an American SEO is paid. Or is it really meager?

To compare two professionals from two countries based on their salary without taking into account their country's standard of living is not fair. Similarly, saying that SEOs in India are exploited because they receive just a quarter of the salary paid to an American SEO, is moronic. The cost of living in India is much cheaper compared to the US, which means even if their salary is smaller, their purchasing power compensates for the difference.

Conclusion

Clearly, there are a lot of misconceptions about offshore SEO companies. Problems have been identified which are mutually exclusive to western SEO companies. Results from your SEO campaign is not correlated to whether you outsourced your SEO offshore or not. It's more of how you chose your SEO company. Hence, we conclude that outsourcing your SEO offshore is not a bad decision, in fact, it can provide lots of benefits to your company.




John Edward Roberts, founder of SEOQuickRank, is a multi-awarded SEO professional in Asia. His experience working with Microsoft and Google gave him a solid knowledge of search engine optimization. Since its inception, SEOQuickRank became one of Asia's leading outsourcing SEO companies. Catering to western companies outsourcing SEO, John remains to be one of the most preferred SEO specialist because of his commitment to quality service.
