I run a small design agency and looking for someone to help integrate good SEO practice into the new website for my client.
Someone is working on the messaging and content for the client and I will be working on the front end design and branding. We will probably be going for a WordPress based theme.
I had a few questions:
- Are there any ongoing monthly fees?
- Do you integrate Google Search Console?
- Do you use Yoast or Rankmath?
Would you need more detail about the client/website before getting started?
Look forward to hearing from you.
Many thanks.
Thanks for contacting me!
I have a few answers for you…
1)
I do offer an ongoing SEO campaign option – many people are perfectly happy with the one-time overhaul and the fee for that – but clients that really want to commit to SEO (which is hands down the best, cheapest marketing you can do) will usually carry on.
I actually throw in a free month of that service too, so people can see the value first-hand.
2)
Yes, absolutely. Google Search Console is the authoritative place for Google’s organic search statistics. It’s a vital tool for anyone working in SEO.
3)
Actually, I choose the plugin based on several factors with the site itself. Different plugins are best for different websites–the way you’re using pages, posts etc is important in deciding. I don’t have a favourite, I like to look at a site and decide which plugin would be best for it on a case by case basis.
Something I can say though is in about 80% of cases All In One SEO pack ends up being selected.
Additionally)
The best time to engage me is immediately after the site has gone live. That way I can do all the various submission processes alongside the search engine optimisation.
I’m a big believer that all information is good information – so if you wanted to send through more info on the client that would be welcome. But it’s also true the current content I can see I believe gives me more than enough information about her to base the work on.
Thanks again,
