In search engine optimization the SEO agency you choose to use can either perform as a one dimensional vendor or offer your company something much more valuable as a partner. Here are ways to ensure you get the most out of this important relationship:
Limiting your SEO company
In your internet marketing strategy you can develop a true partnership with your SEO company. They have huge expertise on a variety of web marketing areas outside of SEO and this can all benefit your campaigns giving it a well rounded approach. Have the confidence to let your agency do what they do best without restricting them to just link building for example. A good SEO agency will have a holistic approach and by forbidding them to pull on other SEO techniques could sabotage your campaigns. Take heed of their expertise and give them the scope to do what they need to.
Treating your SEO agency like a vendor
There is a need for complete transparency when working with your SEO company. Rather than viewing the agency as a vendor be honest and open about what you hope to achieve and your company’s position. Talk to them about the industry, your business strategy and any past dabbling in search marketing. Most importantly talk in detail about what you want to achieve with the website.
If you only provide pieces of information rather than the full picture then they will only be able to develop campaigns within that limited remit. This can create problems in communication as elements of information can be misconstrued without the full details available. Keep communication open. If you feel you would be exposing the business then postpone your SEO campaign until you’re ready to start talking.
