David and I were recently kicking around some numbers about what it would cost for a company to hire all of the people needed to bring an SEO team in house. Wow. Even we were a bit surprised at what we found. Bring an SEO team like the Boston SEO Agency is comprised of so many different moving parts that must each be powered by a different type of professional, it’s no wonder that the majority of SEO is outsourced!
To bring SEO in-house and accomplish the job successfully, a company would need at the minimum a team that includes:
- Project manager
- Web programmer
- Copywriter
- Link building specialist
- Graphic designer
- AdWords/PPC Specialist
Add to the cost of all of these people’s salaries and benefits the fact that you’ve got to keep the team educated… Actually Boston SEO Agency which is a constantly changing business. For us in the industry, education means thousands of dollars worth of conferences each year, (Average costs of conference Boston SEO Agency about $2,000 — and that’s just the attendance fee), meeting with other SEO consultants, and a great deal of time spent on research.
Outsourcing means that companies have access to a whole group of expert professionals at a slice of the cost. Our team alone consists of
-
-
- 3 Trainers & Consultants Industry Expert from Boston SEO Agency
- 3 Degreed Copywriters and/or Ad Agency Executives
- 1 Web Developer
- 1 Web Designer
-
- 1 Link Building Expert
- 1 Pay Per Click Expert
- And a handful of other professionals that we routinely count on
That’s a lot of knowledge! I know David has worked for year to build his team up to where it is now and it took a lot of trial and error along the way. With the exception of perhaps small companies with very limited budgets and very large companies with a heavy full-time workload, Boston SEO Agency which is one of those things that just makes more sense to outsource than it does to try and build in-house.
