There are three things that determine the success of any major or minor business venture on the internet. These are quality, presentation and marketing. Quality, of course, has to deal with the standard of service of products you are offering to provide. Presentation has to do with the design of your website and how easily a customer is guided to the products or services of their choice. But our article has more to do with marketing than with the other three. You cannot survive the cutthroat competition out there on the ecommerce scenario of the world without adequate digital marketing. Hence, you need Search Engine Optimization or SEO.
What is SEO?
SEO has mainly to do with improving the rank of your website on the search engine result pages of Google and other search providers. This is important as when people look for a certain product, the first thing they do is search for it on the internet. Hence, the first five websites on the results page have more chances of eventually offering the service than other, possibly equally effective, websites that come further down on the results page. SEO is about making sure your website remains one of the top five. How does one get this done? Well, there are, as with all other things, providers of SEO services who offer packages that suit the needs of a wide majority of clients.
How to Choose an SEO Company?
Out of the several companies offering SEO services out there, your best interest lies in picking one that offers the best service you can afford at reasonable prices. Here are a few things that are a must for good SEO companies to have.
Experience
If your company is comprised mainly of freshmen IT engineers (it is known for many visionary freshly out of college personnel to open their own companies on the internet offering their services) it is probably not a good idea to go for it. This is because the marketing scenario of any business does not follow a function, and is often difficult to even contemplate or extrapolate. Hence, the only tool that makes sure you are in safe hands is immense experience in dealing with the many what-if scenarios that arise.
If you are opting for a relatively new SEO company, try to make sure that they have a few personnel at least who are very experienced.
Customizability of Service
How powerful an SEO service you require depends inversely on how much monopoly you have. If you are the only person in your area offering a certain service, chances are that your website will turn up anyway when searched for. Our point is that no two businesses are the same. Hence, SEO is not a one size fit all business. A good SEO company would not only allow SEO packages (as is commonly done) to the majority of customers, but would also have provision for customized working for people with varied needs, so as to provide every client with what they need.
