Do SEO Companies or Clients Benefit from Packages?
Sunday, September 13th, 2009It seems that despite the industry, product or service, people are always looking for a fantastic deal. This in turn creates loads of sales, discount rates and price wars for virtually any product or service, particularly online.
SEO is no different, despite the fact that the amount of man hours that go into a project are all billable time, the only advantage to a cheaper SEO package than a more expensive SEO package is the competency and degree of efficiency of the two opposing companies.
Automation has its place, if done well, however most SEO companies use a one size fits all plan of attack which does not always work well for websites with particular needs.
For example, just because submitting websites to directories works as a feasible method for creating a mixture of IP diversity and off page ranking factor for your nested pages, it does not mean that all directories are great or even worthy.
Also, submitting your website in a wild west fashion with reckless abandon is one sure fire way to cross your IP with some less than desirable sites which through guilt by association can leave a blemish on your websites algorithmic credibility.
Also, other metrics such as the neighborhood of the surrounding sites linking out from a directory page, how many links your website is being shared with on that page as well as the amount of incoming link flow to that page all severalize what degree of impact the reaction is from search engines.
Search engines estimate importance based on the relevance of primary domains that act as the spine of the web. Remember, authority sites link to other authority sites, so one link from (a) a website that already ranks in the top 10 for a keyword or (b) a link from a website based on the composition of the topic of the link are worth their weight in gold as far as the value they represent.
The only real value SEO packages deliver is if the SEO company is extremely skilled, has a selection of SEO services that can be applied to your unique situation and are able to work in an ala carte methodology to facilitate your budget and motivations for conventional ROI.
SEO is not a one size fits all practice, it involves in depth inquiry of all of the metrics that collectively represent your website and its algorithmic DNA. Through streamlining incompatibilities on a granular level, buoyancy occurs and relevancy increases on a keyword to page and page to user level.
