Advantages and Disadvantages of using a local SEO Company

Filed under: SEO — Mathew @ 1:51 pm

In this article I will talk to you about the advantages and disadvantages of using a local SEO company. Although the advantages and disadvantages entirely depends on your situation I will go through a few which I feel may be of importance.

Advantages:

  • Meetings are more likely to be on time
  • Ease of payment (you could always pay in person)
  • Any problem you have you can talk to them face to face when possible.
  • Any queries the SEO Company may have for you could be quickly resolved.

Disadvantages:

  • Possibility of unnecessary meetings
  • Staffing could be a problem depending on the location of the business, for example living in a town with a big population you are more likely to find at least one person with good SEO knowledge than if you lived in the middle of nowhere with a small population in your area.
  • If you have any enquiries about work been done on your site you are more likely to drop by their office and distract them from other work.
  • Constant visits and phone calls may end up with you getting on the companies nerves, which may result in tense or even hostile meetings/phone calls etc.
  • Unnecessary meetings could take place where the company wants details from you or vice versa, which could be easily done by emailing or even phoning.
  • Constant meetings where the company is working on other sites at the same time may give you the impression that they aren’t trying as hard on your site.

Conclusion

There appears to be more disadvantages than advantages with using local SEO companies due to the fact that they can not always recruit the quality and levels of staff to accommodate a high skilled service which you require.
