You may have decided that now is the right time for your business to start finding a Bristol SEO agency that can help your business to improve it’s online marketing.
Yet, before you start to narrow down the list of digital marketing agencies that you would like to work with, well, you may still have a few burning questions that you need answers to first?
And to save you having to write reams of e-mails,we thought we would be really helpful and answer some commonly asked questions that we as an SEO company frequently get asked.
#1 Why do most SEO agencies charge a fixed monthly fee?
Your competitors will never stop aiming to get their business ranked at the top of Google. This therefore normally means they either have an inhouse marketing team, or they will have also employed an SEO company.
And as these businesses will be working on their SEO on a routine basis, say each month, so should your business, otherwise its easy to start flagging behind the competition.
#2 So our website could drop back down the list?
You should think of all the businesses that are ranked within the organic section of Google’s results, as a list of businesses ranked according to how strong the company’s organic SEO is at that time.
So, a company with a bigger marketing budget, or a company that’s investing more time into their SEO could overtake other businesses, so it’s true to state that a business could move up, yet it can also move down at anytime.
Businesses move down normally when they stop investing in SEO, or they invest in low-quality SEO which some SEO companies do offer.
It’s the SEO agencies job therefore to make sure that the budget is set fairly and to be working on helping the business to improve where it ranks. Also you should only invest in white hat SEO.
#3 So if we invest today, we could see results really quickly?
Often this is not the case, most SEO companies within Bristol do not make this abundantly clear from the outset, but we do. So, it’s safe to say that organic SEO is normally a slow process.
This means that a competitor, or many competitors may have been investing in SEO for a very long time before your business has decided to invest, for example sometimes a company will invest in SEO for many years. This means that these businesses will have the head start, and therefore often there is much catching up to be done, that’s if your company has never invested in organic SEO before.
This is often why SEO is not a fast process, and if any business states that it is, well, you should make sure that they offering you white hat SEO?
