Is Your SEO Provider Really Doing Their Job?
This last year has provided me quite an education as I went from one chosen profession, to trying to learn the intricacies of another by launching a
successful website business. I do have to permit that most of the blame is my own. As an entire webmaster newbie, I made a lot of assumptions back then, and only discovered later how wrong they were. however, it was the lack of timely or right information to me, from any of these SEO Melbourne professionals along the way, that really surprised me. I, like a lot of people, thought that money would be better spent paying
a professional SEO company to optimize my website than trying to do it myself.
The perception of promised results over time is a powerful one so I went ahead knowing full well that the results would not occur overnight. Sure, it was
costing money, but I assumed it was just the cost of doing business. All the successful sites were paying for it, right? I could not have been more wrong.
Not only don’t all companies pay for SEO services, I learned that the main job of an SEO company is to generate income for their success, not yours. More
importantly though, no SEO company cares about your website as much as you do.
I do have to admit that most of the blame is my own. As a complete webmaster newbie, I made a lot of assumptions back then, and only found out later how
wrong they were. But, it was the lack of timely or correct information to me, from any of these SEO Melbourne professionals along the way, that really
surprised me.
One of the first, and biggest mistakes I had made when I started out, was to select keywords that were really popular. I would have no chance of ever being
found with them. No matter. I went ahead anyway. A lot of people make this mistake when they start out. No only was it a complete waste of my time and money,
the Search Engine Optimization company, that I had hired in Boston, did not bother passing on that little detail, as they gladly collected the $500 monthly
service fee while my organic traffic activity remained dead.
