If your company isn\u2019t showing up on search engines, that\u2019s a huge percentage of business you\u2019re missing out on!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Search Engine Optimization (SEO) works with keywords, algorithms and target audiences to generate traffic for your website. It increases your chances of showing up in an online search&nbsp; and bolsters your customer prospect base in the process!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to boost your web traffic, you need SEO. Before you hit the search engines yourself, it\u2019s important to know exactly what you\u2019re looking for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sure, you could type in \u2018<em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.clickmatix.com.au\/seo\/\">Best Australian SEO agency<\/a><\/em>\u2019, but remember: these agencies are experts at getting noticed. Just because they\u2019ve managed to optimize their own online presence, doesn\u2019t mean they can do the same for yours. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"900\" height=\"549\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.tutorialchip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Hiring-an-SEO-Company.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-41781 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tutorialchip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Hiring-an-SEO-Company.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.tutorialchip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Hiring-an-SEO-Company-520x317.jpg 520w, https:\/\/www.tutorialchip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Hiring-an-SEO-Company-768x468.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/549;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"900\" height=\"549\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tutorialchip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Hiring-an-SEO-Company.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-41781\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tutorialchip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Hiring-an-SEO-Company.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.tutorialchip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Hiring-an-SEO-Company-520x317.jpg 520w, https:\/\/www.tutorialchip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Hiring-an-SEO-Company-768x468.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Finding a local or <a href=\"https:\/\/stellarseo.com\/seo-services\/national\/\">national SEO company that suits your business<\/a> doesn\u2019t have to be exhausting. It\u2019s just a question of compatibility. And like any compatibility test, it requires a series of questions!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"five-questions-you-need-to-ask-yourself\">Five questions you need to ask yourself<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"1-can-they-meet-my-digital-needs\">1. Can they meet my digital needs?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Think about it. Do you only need SEO? Or are you after a complete digital makeover?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;SEO will usually focus on improving your\nranking on search engines. However, generating hits won\u2019t do much good if your\nwebsite is uninviting. After all, you want them to come back!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before focusing purely on SEOl, consider a digital marketing agency first. They\u2019ll be able to assess which aspects of your online business need revamping. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"2-do-they-offer-data-tracking\">2. Do they offer data tracking?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to meet your business\u2019 unique needs, SEO companies must track and measure all its data. This helps them determine where you\u2019re currently at, so they know which areas to focus on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Phone calls<\/li><li>Contact forms<\/li><li>Site visit <\/li><li>Click-through rates <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>A good SEO company\nwill be able to walk you through this process without any stress involved!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"3-how-s-their-feedback\">3. How\u2019s their feedback?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve found an SEO\ncompany and are considering enlisting their services, hit the search button!\nWebsites like Facebook, Google and Yelp are a goldmine of reviews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, ask the agency to provide you with case studies. They should refer you to current or former clients, so you can discuss their experience with them directly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"4-do-they-offer-consultations\">4. Do they offer consultations?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Transparency is crucial when it comes to business dealings. Before committing, you need a clear picture of what they can do for you &#8211; and how they plan on doing it. Are they able to answer your questions clearly and honestly, without confusing you or overselling their services?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A no-strings\nconsultation will help you get to grips with the agency\u2019s methods and business\nmodel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If they aren\u2019t offering\nin-person consultations, they should do so online or via a phone call. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"5-what-s-my-budget\">5. What\u2019s my budget?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to tackle this\nat the earliest possible opportunity. Knowing exactly how much money you have\nto invest in SEO before you start enquiring will save you time and money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You could stumble across\nthe most brilliant company around, plunge headfirst into proceedings&#8230;and get\nstuck with a bill you can\u2019t afford to pay!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most SEO companies will have a range of packages to choose from. If you\u2019re upfront about your budget, they\u2019ll be able to offer you a range of options. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"in-conclusion\">In Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Hiring an SEO agency is a fantastic investment &#8211; but not necessarily a simple one. Finding the right fit for your business is the key to success. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The good news is: it doesn\u2019t have to be difficult. Reputable companies (like <a href=\"https:\/\/pearllemon.com\/\">Pearl Lemon<\/a> for example) are usually happy to point you in the right direction &#8211; even if they can\u2019t help themselves!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With more and more people buying online, having a strong digital presence is&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":41781,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[1285],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.6 -
