SEO Consultings FAQs

When should I hire an SEO consultant?

If you are planning to rebuild your website, then you need to hire someone like me. Rather than engaging SEO services when the site is already built, you should hire an SEO consultant during the planning and research phase. You can still engage with an SEO after the website is built, but it will be more expensive and it might require longer time since the site has already built and some technical changes could need medium to long terms implementations.

What are the benefits of hiring a freelancer to do SEO consulting work?

SEO freelancers with 15 years of search experience as well as technical and marketing skills are not easy to find. Hiring a freelancer is also more cost-effective solution for a business while maintaining high level of quality work. I do not require lengthy contracts; you can continue as far as you are happy with my work and results.

Is worth investing in SEO Consulting?

If you are running an online business and you sell just have an online presence, you need to invest in building your organic traffic. Often businesses rely too much on paid media activities, which are good short/medium term strategies and not so profitable because of the ongoing costs involved. SEO is a long-term strategy and if done well, will maintain ongoing and higher profits for your business.

How much an SEO consultant charge?

It depends on what is required and the length of the project. SEO services costs are generally upfront, meaning the majority of all the work is done at the beginning, then a road map is planned with tasks to be completed on a 6- or 12-months plan. As an SEO specialist, I designed a smaller package option for small businesses to allow them to receive good SEO advice at affordable costs.  Please contact me for a personalised quote.

How does SEO consulting work?

Arrangements start with an initial consultation and a questionnaire, to assess and understand business requirements. According to the findings, an SEO quote is drafted with details of the tasks, timings, and output.  Please check out my SEO process to understand what tasks might be required for your website.

Is location a critical factor when hiring an SEO consultant?

If you are doing international SEO, you might need a local SEO consultant that speaks the language and understand the audience for the targeted market. Currently I can offer SEO services in English speaking countries and Italy. Other than this, there is no real reason why location can affect your choice, as far as ongoing and clear communication is maintained.
