Long Term vs. Short Term SEO Strategies
When it comes to providing search engine optimisation, there are many things that a company should be looking to get from their agency. One important thing to remember is that search engine optimisation (or SEO as it is commonly referred to) is very much a long term strategy when implemented correctly.
However when you are hiring an SEO agency and are deciding on which one is the best, you need to ensure that they also have some shorter term objectives as well. With 90% of sites, there is always something that can be altered or improved to improve the chancing of the site ranking for its most important keywords.
When you sit down with any SEO agency you need to make sure that they are planning onsite and technical changes as a priority because without these are just as important as the link building activity that helps increase the authority of each page of the site.
The link building for the site is part of the long term strategy but it is important that the agency includes a range of keywords. It is vital that they give you a short term strategy that often includes optimising the website, this should give your company some short term wins in terms of traffic and rankings but this is largely dependent on the sector you are in because some are more competitive than others and can take longer for your business to achieve rankings.
As with all marketing strategies, your business is going to be looking for a short and long term strategy and even though search engine optimisation is a relatively new way of marketing your product, the same theories still apply. If you are new to this sector then make sure that the agency you are preparing to use are going to keep you informed at every step of the way.
If you already have a web developer then it is going to be vital that they work well together so get them together sooner rather than later as it is important that they strike up a good working relationship early on as the SEO agency will need them to make onsite and technical changes. If you don’t have a web developer then you can make things a whole lot easier by choosing a search engine optimisation agency that can also call upon their own web developer as changes will be able to be made considerably easier and a more effective strategy can be implemented.
