As the world of search marketing continues to boom, more and more companies are outsourcing there Search Engine Optimisation ( SEO), the reason for this is because SEO is more complex than ever before, and is about the “full package”, I talk on a regulare basis to people who tell me they are using agencies that specialise in SEO and ask how they approach Search Engine Optimisation, and the response I get is, they are amending meta tags, or tweaking the site! I mean come on what is “tweaking”.
When selecting an agency for the purposes of Search Engine Optimisation you should understand exactly what you are getting for your money and break this down into On Page & Off Page SEO.
Look at the experience of the agency and the quality of the results they have achieved for existing dentists, this above all will give your more confidence when selecting an agency.
Request a work programme, exactly what will be done and when so you have some measures from the SEO agency you select.
Finally, make sure that your keywords that are being targeted for the purpose of Search Engine Optimisation are realistic, I have seen agencies report rankings on keywords that may result in 1 click a month, is this viable? The answer is no, if an agency understands search, they will also understand the “long tail” and the “short tail” of search, and how these 2 types of keyword permutations are split between Search Engine Optimisation and Pay Per Click marketing.
As one of the UK’s leading SEO agencies only apply “white hat” techniques of optimisation, this means that we understand how to build your brand and your authority within the search engines, once you have this authority your listings will follow.
SEO has no quick fixes, so if someone gives you guarantees, or tells you they can get rankings very quickly, I would not trust them, it is not possible to make guarantees, I mean we are not in control of how pages of ranked, the search engines are of course. What you can do, is use SEO techniques that optimise your site based around your product or service, the reason for this is because it will firstly make your site attractive and relevant to your traffic, and also the search engines, as you will be recognised to have the authority in the product or service you provide.
