¿Qué servicios puedo contratar para contratar una compañía profesional de SEO?

Cualquier negocio en línea tarde o temprano se enfrenta a la necesidad de contratar una agencia de optimización o un consultor. Hay muchas ventajas de evidencia de trabajar con compañías profesionales de SEO. En primer lugar, puede concentrarse en el desarrollo de su negocio, que es extremadamente importante, especialmente en la etapa inicial. Además, no es necesario que dedique tiempo y esfuerzos a la educación SEO de sus cosas y aprenda los principios básicos del proceso. Al cooperar con un equipo de optimización profesional, obtendrá una gama de servicios de SEO que se pueden agrupar en una práctica solución con todo incluido. Sin embargo, antes de contratar una agencia de optimización, debe saber qué servicios puede obtener trabajando con ellos.

En la etapa inicial, debe pasar por el proceso de selección de elegir una compañía de SEO que satisfaga las necesidades y requisitos de su negocio. Una vez que haya encontrado uno, póngase en contacto con ellos y firme un contrato. Sin embargo, ¿qué deberías esperar entonces?

Cada agencia de optimización tiene su enfoque para la optimización de negocios en línea, y es esencial saber lo que están haciendo en el camino. En esta breve publicación, analizaremos de cerca los servicios que debe esperar obtener de una empresa o consultor de SEO.

Una encuesta de servicios de la compañía SEO

  •  Una reunión introductoria 

Sobre la primera etapa de su cooperación con una empresa de optimización, debe tener una reunión introductoria ya sea a través de Skype o en la vida real. En el proceso de esta reunión, debe presentar las necesidades de su empresa, presentar sus cosas, conocer a su gerente de cuenta y especialistas que trabajarán en su proyecto. Esta reunión es crucial para una agencia de optimización ya que les facilita aprender más sobre su negocio. Junto con un gerente de cuenta y especialistas en SEO, debe establecer sus objetivos de marketing y SEO, determinar los plazos y el precio. Asegúrese de que el consultor de SEO describa todos los servicios que obtendrá durante un período discutido. También deberían decirle qué debería esperar para cooperar con ellos. La gama de servicios que van a proporcionar debe cumplir con sus expectativas y requisitos. No tiene sentido estar de acuerdo con todo lo que escuchan los expertos. Si tiene una falta de conocimiento en una esfera de optimización, solicite a los consultores que le expliquen con palabras sencillas cada servicio que le van a brindar. Siéntase libre de hacer preguntas adicionales y expresar cualquier preocupación que haya pensado.

  •  Análisis del sitio web y auditoría de SEO 

El primer aspecto que su equipo de optimización debería encontrar durante una campaña de optimización es una auditoría SEO del sitio web. Se le pedirá que comparta el acceso a su cuenta de Google Analytics. Además, los especialistas en SEO implementarán sus programas para determinar el estado de su sitio y encontrar los problemas existentes. El tiempo que los especialistas de SEO gastarán en la auditoría dependerá de la complejidad y el tamaño de su sitio. Una vez que se completa una auditoría, debe obtener un informe detallado.

  •  Desarrollar una estrategia de optimización 

En la próxima etapa de su campaña de optimización, los expertos en SEO deberían desarrollar una campaña de optimización basada en los problemas existentes y los puntos débiles de su sitio. Una agencia de optimización puede ofrecerle diferentes niveles de paquetes o un plan de optimización personalizado. Su elección dependerá de una variedad de factores, como el nivel de tráfico actual, la posición de clasificación, el nicho en el que clasifica, si recibió sanciones o no, y otras características.

  •  Investigación de palabras clave 

Un proceso de optimización en sí mismo debe comenzar con la investigación de palabras clave. En esta etapa, los especialistas en marketing investigan su nicho de mercado y conocen a sus competidores para encontrar las palabras clave más específicas a las que puede dirigirse. Implementan diferentes técnicas para encontrar términos de búsqueda adecuados. Por ejemplo, pueden usar Google Analytics u otras herramientas profesionales de búsqueda de palabras clave o tomar prestados algunos términos de búsqueda que usan sus competidores. Una vez que hayan hecho una lista de las palabras clave relevantes que usted puede clasificar, deben verificar el volumen de búsqueda y la rentabilidad de cada una.

  •  Redacción SEO 

Los servicios de escritura son opcionales. Algunas agencias subcontratan estos servicios o no los proporcionan en absoluto. Como regla, los servicios de redacción de SEO son provistos por agencias digitales de pila completa que tienen departamentos de redacción de contenido. Si no está seguro de nuestras habilidades de escritura, le aconsejo que deje esta tarea a escritores profesionales. La redacción de SEO es un proceso difícil que tiene como objetivo crear una copia atractiva tanto para los lectores como para los motores de búsqueda. Un consultor de SEO identificará oportunidades para la creación de contenido y donde se puede mejorar un texto existente para atraer tráfico más específico y mejorar la conversión.

  •  Construcción de enlaces 

Una vez que se realiza todo el proceso de optimización en el sitio, los especialistas en SEO pueden comenzar a trabajar en SEO fuera de la página. La construcción de enlaces se encuentra en el núcleo de la optimización fuera de sitio. Algunas agencias digitales tienen un departamento interno de construcción de enlaces y una amplia base de socios en diferentes campos para crear numerosos perfiles de enlaces de salud para sus clientes. Otras agencias subcontratan estas tareas. Debería estar listo para que se le pida que pague de manera adicional por los servicios de construcción de enlaces. El costo de algunos enlaces puede exceder el costo de todas las campañas de SEO, especialmente si hablamos de enlaces permanentes.

  •  Informes y comunicaciones regulares 

Una agencia de optimización profesional no solo mejorará los problemas en función de los hallazgos de auditoría de su sitio web. Deben estar ansiosos por tener éxito, tomando la máxima eficiencia tratando de alcanzar sus metas. Al trabajar con un equipo de optimización profesional y preocupado, debe esperar informes periódicos que le permitan saber cómo van las cosas. Necesitas trabajar juntos en el logro de la meta. Querrán mantenerte al tanto al ser transparente acerca de estrategias y actividades.

Ideas finales

En este artículo, acabo de mencionar algunos de los muchos servicios que una compañía de SEO puede ofrecer. En realidad, tantas agencias como tantos servicios de optimización. Puede parecer complicado encontrar la compañía adecuada entre la variedad de opciones diferentes. Es por eso que debe tomar su decisión basándose en estudios de casos, retroalimentación de los clientes y la forma en que los especialistas se comunican con usted. Sabrá que tomó la decisión correcta si el equipo de especialistas en SEO está dispuesto a comunicarse con usted abiertamente sobre sus enfoques y estrategias, realizar una auditoría detallada del sitio y mantener una comunicación continua durante todo el tiempo de su contrato.

Great article, George! I've worked with SEO agencies before, and I must say, their services vary widely. What do you suggest is the minimum I should expect when cooperating with an SEO agency? Any red flags to look out for?
George Forrest
Alexis, when cooperating with an SEO agency, you should expect a clear and well-defined strategy tailored to your specific business goals. They should conduct thorough keyword research, optimize your website for search engines, provide regular reports and updates, and communicate effectively with you. Red flags to look out for include agencies that guarantee instant results, use black hat techniques, or have a lack of transparency in their processes.
Maria Thompson
Hi George! Thanks for shedding light on this topic. In my experience, some SEO agencies promise quick results but often fail to deliver. How can we differentiate reliable agencies from those who make false claims?
George Forrest
Maria, differentiating reliable SEO agencies from those making false claims can be challenging. It's important to ask for case studies and client references to see their track record. Also, look for agencies that focus on sustainable and ethical SEO practices rather than promising unrealistic overnight success. Transparency in their approach and consistent communication are key indicators of a reliable agency.
Michael Campbell
Hello, George. I enjoyed your article. When working with an SEO agency, what would you say is a reasonable timeframe to start seeing noticeable improvements in website rankings?
George Forrest
Michael, the timeframe to see noticeable improvements in website rankings can vary depending on various factors such as the competitiveness of your industry, the current state of your website, and the SEO strategies in place. Generally, you should start seeing positive changes within 3-6 months, although significant results may take longer. A good SEO agency will provide you with regular progress updates and keep you informed throughout the process.
Olivia Parker
Hi George! Thank you for sharing your insights. I'd like to know what specific strategies or techniques should I expect an SEO agency to implement in order to improve my website's visibility on search engines.
George Forrest
Olivia, an SEO agency should employ a combination of on-page and off-page optimization techniques.

Chris Baker
Hi George! As an SEO agency client, how involved should I be in the process? Should I leave everything up to the agency or actively participate in decision-making?

You should actively participate in the initial strategy discussions to align your goals with the agency's approach. Regular communication and collaboration with the agency will ensure that both parties are on the same page and working towards achieving the desired results. Stay informed about the progress and be open to providing feedback if necessary.
George Forrest

Hi George! Great article. I've heard horror stories of SEO agencies implementing spammy tactics that resulted in penalties for their clients' websites. How can we avoid falling into the trap of such agencies?
George Forrest
Thank you, Liam, for your question. Avoiding agencies that engage in spammy tactics is crucial to protect your website's reputation. One way to mitigate this risk is to thoroughly research and vet the agency before hiring them. Look for agencies with a proven track record of delivering ethical and sustainable results. Ask about their link building strategies and ensure they follow Google's Webmaster Guidelines. Request a clear explanation of their processes to make sure they align with industry best practices.
Sophia Williams
Hello George! Your article is very informative. I'm interested to know if there are any specific certifications or qualifications we should look for when choosing an SEO agency?
George Forrest
Sophia, certifications or qualifications can be a valuable indicator of an SEO agency's expertise and commitment to the industry. Look for agencies with professionals who are certified in Google Analytics, Google Ads, and other relevant certifications. These certifications show that the agency has invested in the necessary training and has a good understanding of search engine optimization. However, while certifications are important, don't solely rely on them. Consider their experience, client testimonials, and case studies as well.
Emily Davis
Hi George! Your article is spot on. In addition to the mentioned responsibilities of an SEO agency, could you please explain the role of content creation and its impact on SEO?
George Forrest
Emily, content creation plays a vital role in SEO. Quality content not only engages your audience but also helps search engines understand the relevance and value of your website. An SEO agency should have expertise in content optimization, keyword research, and creating compelling content that aligns with your target audience's interests and search intent. They should also ensure proper on-page optimization of the content and promote it through various channels to enhance its visibility and attract organic traffic.
Daniel Davis
Hello George! As a small business owner, budget is a concern for me. Are there any cost-effective SEO strategies an agency can offer without compromising on quality?
George Forrest
Daniel, absolutely! SEO agencies understand that budget constraints can be a challenge, especially for small businesses. They can offer cost-effective strategies such as focusing on long-tail keywords, optimizing existing content, leveraging local SEO techniques, improving website speed and performance, and ensuring proper website crawlability. These strategies can yield positive results without requiring a huge investment. The key is to have a well-defined strategy that maximizes the impact within your budget limitations.

Factors that contribute to pricing include the complexity of your website, the competitiveness of your industry, the scope of the project, the experience and expertise of the agency, and the level of ongoing support and reporting required.

Emma Wilson
Hi George! Thank you for sharing your expertise. How can an SEO agency assist in improving website speed and user experience?

A fast and user-friendly website not only provides a great experience to visitors but also helps with SEO rankings.
Olivia Parker
George, you mentioned link building as one of the techniques an SEO agency should implement. Can you share some insights on how agencies should approach this aspect of SEO without risking penalties?
George Forrest
Olivia, link building is an important aspect of SEO, but it must be done carefully to avoid penalties. An SEO agency should focus on acquiring high-quality, authoritative backlinks from relevant and trusted websites. They should emphasize natural link building techniques such as creating valuable content that naturally attracts links, building relationships with industry influencers, and leveraging guest blogging opportunities. Agencies should strictly avoid participating in link schemes or purchasing low-quality links, as these practices can lead to penalties and harm your website's rankings.
Sophia Williams
George, I appreciate your insights on selecting an SEO agency. What are some warning signs that indicate a potentially unreliable agency?
George Forrest
Sophia, some warning signs of an unreliable SEO agency include guaranteed #1 rankings, excessively low pricing (too good to be true), lack of transparency in their processes and reporting, poor communication, inability to provide case studies or client testimonials, vague or evasive answers to your questions, and a focus on short-term results rather than long-term growth. Trust your instincts and if something seems too good to be true, it probably is. It's vital to thoroughly research and choose an agency that aligns with your goals and values.
William Adams
Hi George! Fantastic article! I'm wondering, should an SEO agency also help with social media marketing or is that a separate field altogether?
George Forrest
William, while social media marketing and SEO are related, they are typically considered separate fields. However, many SEO agencies offer social media management services as part of a comprehensive digital marketing strategy. An agency that assists with social media marketing can help ensure consistency across your online presence, promote your content to a wider audience, and create engagement opportunities. It's important to discuss with the agency if they offer social media services or if they can recommend specialists in that particular area.
Emily Davis
George, in the world of SEO, are there any guarantees? Can an SEO agency promise specific rankings or results?
George Forrest
Emily, in SEO, it is generally not recommended for an agency to guarantee specific rankings or results. The search engine algorithms are complex and ever-evolving, and no agency can control the actions of your competitors or the changes made by search engines. A reputable agency should provide realistic expectations based on their past performance and industry knowledge. They should focus on delivering long-term sustainable growth rather than making false promises. Open communication and transparency are essential to building a trustworthy relationship with your SEO agency.
Liam Evans
George, what are some key performance indicators (KPIs) we should track to measure the success of an SEO agency's efforts?

They actively participate in industry conferences, forums, and webinars, follow reputable SEO news sources, and engage in knowledge-sharing within their agency and with industry peers. Continuous learning and adaptation to changes help them implement effective strategies that align with the best SEO practices and deliver sustainable results for their clients.
Daniel Davis
George, thank you for addressing the budget concerns earlier. As a follow-up, are there any specific factors that can influence the pricing of SEO services for small businesses?
George Forrest
Daniel, several factors can influence the pricing of SEO services for small businesses. These include the competition in your industry, the size and complexity of your website, the scope of the project, the current state of your website's SEO, the level of ongoing support required, and the specific goals and objectives you have in mind. A comprehensive SEO strategy tailored to the individual needs of a small business will take these factors into account, providing a pricing structure that is fair and aligned with the expected results.
Emma Wilson
Hi George! In terms of reporting, what kind of information should an SEO agency provide to their clients, and how frequently should they provide updates?
George Forrest
Emma, an SEO agency should provide regular reports and updates to their clients to keep them informed about the progress of the campaign. Reports should include important metrics such as organic traffic growth, keyword rankings, backlink profile growth, and other KPIs discussed earlier. The frequency of updates may depend on the nature of the project and the preferences of the client.

Discuss your specific goals and expectations and see how the agency responds. Trust your instincts and choose an agency that shows genuine interest in your business, has a transparent and ethical approach, and demonstrates a commitment to helping you achieve your objectives.
William Adams
Hello George! In your experience, what are some common misconceptions or myths about SEO agencies that clients should be aware of?
George Forrest
William, there are a few common misconceptions or myths about SEO agencies that clients should be aware of. One is that SEO can deliver instant results. SEO is a long-term strategy, and while you may see some early improvements, significant results take time. Another myth is that SEO is a one-time effort. In reality, SEO requires ongoing optimization and adaptation to stay competitive. Finally, some clients may think that SEO is solely about ranking #1 on Google. While ranking is important, SEO is also about driving relevant traffic, engagement, and conversions. It's a holistic approach.
Isabella Martinez
George, what are the upfront costs involved in hiring an SEO agency? Are there any hidden fees or long-term commitments that we should be aware of?
George Forrest
Isabella, the upfront costs involved in hiring an SEO agency can vary depending on the scope of the project and the specific services required.

By closely collaborating with your development team, they can minimize any negative impact on search engine rankings and even improve the overall website visibility and performance during the migration or redesign.

Regular performance reviews can be done by tracking key performance indicators (KPIs) such as organic traffic, keyword rankings, conversion rates, and overall website visibility. Request regular reports and updates from the agency and have discussions about the progress being made. Evaluate if the agency is responsive to your needs, proactive in suggesting improvements, and consistently meets or exceeds the agreed-upon goals. Ongoing communication and monitoring will help you gauge their performance effectively.
Olivia Parker

Without proper optimization, your website may not rank well in search engine results, resulting in lower organic traffic and missed opportunities to reach potential customers. Your competitors who invest in SEO may gain a significant advantage, leaving your business behind.

However, the exact timeframe can vary depending on factors such as your industry, level of competition, and the scope of the project. Regular communication and progress reports from the agency will help you evaluate the effectiveness of their efforts and make an informed decision about their continued partnership.
Daniel Davis
Hello George! Besides conducting keyword research, what other market research should an SEO agency perform to better understand a client's business and target audience?
