Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Want to know more search marketing consultants can do for your business? Discover the answers to just a few of the questions our clients have.
What does a search marketing consultant do?
SEO consultants work with businesses and in-house marketing teams in order to increase their online visibility, or to deliver actionable market or competitor insights.
Our SEO consultants can help you perform audits, conduct competitor and keyword research and put together successful SEO strategies.
Do I need a SEO consultancy?
If you already have a marketing team that doesn’t specialise in SEO; have an SEO team who are at their limits; or want to notch up your knowledge or even validate your own instincts then working with our SEO consultancy team can ensure that you develop successful strategies while saving on staff overheads.
How much does a SEO consultant cost?
The cost of SEO consultancy can vary depending on a variety of factors, including what you’re looking to achieve, the size of your website, and the strategies that you’re looking to implement.
It’s essential to recognise that there is a distinction between hiring a cheap SEO consultant and choosing one that is capable of providing a long-term return on investment. Opting for cheap SEO may result in lower quality work and potential long-term damage. This approach often involves ‘black hat’ SEO methods and ‘box-ticking’ strategies that fail to consider either best practices or the specific context and customisation needed for your website and industry sector.
