Top Questions And Answers When Hiring An SEO Consultant In Brooklyn(In 2022)

SEO advertising for your business can take much of your marketing budget.

Due to Covid and the recent closure of many businesses, spending more on your online marketing is a must.

Let’s go over some things to keep in mind when hiring someone to do your SEO, as well as answer some questions that might come up.

What do SEO Consultants do?

A general consultant is defined as an expert in a given field. Their word is trusted as they have proven thorough knowledge of the subject matter.

SEO is defined as changing different aspects of your website to improve its online traffic.

Putting the above things together will naturally mean that an SEO consultant offering SEO services is someone who knows a lot about SEO and is available for hire.

As of 2021, the SEO business generates a staggering $80 billion in revenue, which means that as far as a digital marketing strategy goes, it is excellent.

This means that now more than ever, being an SEO consultant can pay the bills.

How do I find an SEO consultant?

 

SEO consultants can be found very easily on Google. A simple search term like “SEO consultant Brooklyn” can yield several agencies for hire.

The term SEO consultant and SEO agency intermingled effortlessly in 2021.

The above means that if you hire an SEO consultant, most likely, you are hiring an entire agency, not an individual.

This is good because it is way better to have an entire team working for you instead of a single individual.

What should I look for when hiring someone from an SEO company?

Due to the high number of agencies available depending on your area, hiring an SEO expert can be challenging.

The first thing to do is look at their website because a great digital marketing company will ensure their website represents what they offer. Here’s what to keep in mind:

Is their website easy to navigate?

An integral part of content marketing and SEO is user experience. The easier it is for someone to find an answer to their question on a website, the better Google will rank that website.

If you are considering hiring a digital marketing agency, go to their website, and see if it is easy to navigate. Imagine that if you hire them for your local business, what you see on their website is what you will see on your website.

To know if a website is easy to navigate, ask yourself, where am I right now? Do I know what I am looking at? Will my current and former clients feel the same way on my website if I hire these guys? Am I visually lost in finding things on the website?

Are your questions answered clearly on the website?

Another surefire way to evaluate good SEO services is by determining what answers are provided on the SEO agency website you are considering hiring.

Please think of why you are on the website in the first place; most likely, it is a question you need to answer. Is that question being answered by navigating their website?

If they do not know how to answer your basic questions before you even reach out, most likely, they will treat your website the same way.

Does their website load fast on your mobile device?

Page speed is another excellent indicator of your prospective SEO agency’s skill at SEO, and search engines are clear on this. The faster your website loads, the more chances visitors will be sent to it.

Web design is key to the page speed improvement, and a good web design company will know this and put it to practice on their website.

1-Go to GTmetrix.com

2-Copy paste2-Copy-paste their URL(website address) into the blank search field and click “Analyze.”

If their score is less than 80, they don’t know what they are doing.

Having a fast-loading website is KEY to great SEO and web design, so if their score is low, what makes you think they will work on improving your score?

The above tests are all free for you to do before you even set up a call with any SEO agency or consultant so that you will save money and time. The only drawback is time.

You will need to fix all issues preventing fast load speed on your site yourself unless you hire a web design company like SAAI consulting to do it for you. We include page speed improvement as part of all our responsive web design packages, as we know how important it is.

How much To Improve My Website?

Price price PRICE! Everyone already working with an SEO agency can tell SEO can be expensive. This is why:

Ideally, the more money you spend, the better you will rank.

The mere word marketing means you are promoting a product.

In this case, the SEO consulting services you hire will promote your entire business through different kinds of internet marketing to improve your search traffic and bring you more search results from Google.

I say ideally because only if your consultant does the right things will you see the SEO strategies work.

Expensive is relative to the results you are getting.

If your bottom line increases over time because of the SEO campaigns helping you rank(come up on page 1 of Google), then you won’t care how much you are paying your SEO agency.

An excellent digital agency will be able to accommodate your spending from low to high as your website’s search results improve with their search engine marketing services.

Monthly SEO costs will vary for you, but there is a good chance the cost will be determined by one or more of the following:

Number of Keywords you are trying to rank for.

The more keywords need to improve organic search, the more money you will need to spend.

Based on our past clients and other fellow internet marketing companies, the average price from a reputable SEO consultant will be between $700.00 to $2,000.00 a month, with the lower price ranking you for 2 or 3 keywords and the higher price ranking you for 9 to 10 keywords. This is as technical as technical SEO gets.

The amount of time you will be hiring the SEO agency

If you are signed up for one year, there is a good chance you will end up paying more, but there is a good chance you will see results from your local search results, google ranking, and local listings when someone searches in Google.

If you are signed on for six months or less, you will save money, but the results will most likely not be optimal. Your content strategy will most likely not be fully realized, and your search traffic will suffer.

Search engines take consistency very seriously regarding rankings, so if you stop providing value, it is assumed by Google that you are no longer relevant.

This is because it takes an average of more than six months to rank for any keyword.

Should I hire someone for SEO?

Given the information above, this is the pivotal question you will now have to answer.

Hiring the right consultant/agency for SEO will save time and effort in the long run.

This is because running an SEO campaign, when done correctly, takes a lot of research.

Just blog posts alone, which are a proven way to rank for keywords, each need to be more than 2000 words when written.

An SEO agency does the research, puts the information together in a blog post, and then adds that blog post to your website.

If you are starting, I recommend hiring an agency that does website design and online marketing.

The above will guarantee that your business is set up correctly online.

Everything needed for your website to rank will be done from the get-go. From user experience to page speed etc.
