How to Find an Cost-effective SEO Consultant

Operating with an SEO consultant to enhance your site's exposure can get very costly very quickly, unless there is a clear strategy outlined at the start, and clear deliverables expected at the conclusion of the project. As with any form of consulting, finding an affordable and talented SEO consultant relies upon not only on that consultant's rates, but on their ability to keep costs in line, and deliver and end item that justifies the size of their fees to begin with. Here are some tips on how to find an affordable SEO consultant for your company.

Tip #1: Request several quotes. There are many SEO consultants on the web who offer a free consultation, and you should take the chance to ask them a number of concerns and pin them down on details before they even create an estimate.

Tip #2: Task them on bench marking. A smart SEO consultant should have more to offer you than just an SEO strategy for your site. They should be able to explain to you how they will measure success, and how they will establish standards at the beginning of a project and that future check points, so that you can see exactly what kind of traffic has come to your site and how that is attributed to the optimization changes that you choose to apply. If your SEO is worth his or her salt, they will help you establish a return-on-investment calculation so that you will have a structure to compare the cost of the SEO consulting services (and the resulting website development costs) to the increased company you expect to get from improved traffic. There is no reason to make a marketing investment if it won't have a return, whether that is an financial commitment in advertising, or in SEO talking to services. If you talk to any consultant who doesn't comprehend this request and is not interested in answering it, then look somewhere else.

Tip #3: Ask for a Market Sizing Calculate. Let's say an SEO consultant is going to advise you on how to improve your site for 5 particular keywords. Choosing those keywords should be part of the SEO research process, so you may not know what they are, but the consultant should be able to give you an example of what types of keywords you can compete for in your market, and the amount of traffic that goes along with them. This knowledge should enable them to do a "sizing" work out, estimating for you not only the amount of traffic that a ranking for the keywords will bring, but also an calculate of the business value of that traffic. What is it worth to you to have 1000 more people per day arrive at your site? You can collaborate with the consultant on this question, but they should not avoid this query if they are serious experts pitching for your business.
