seo outsourcingWE LIVE AND WORK in an era of globalization. With specialized

abilities becoming a necessity, partnerships have become the smart way

to grow.

Outsourcing of internet marketing and SEO through strategic

partnerships is relatively new as compared to the more traditional

practice of outsourcing accounting, human resource and other business

needs. The fact is, organizations have recognized the merits of

outsourcing for a long time now and are beginning to realize the

potential of outsourcing SEO services.

Depending on the agency and their business model, there exist many

models of outsourcing SEO services. Some of the most common

include:

Performance based outsourcing: Where the partner is paid for the

results achieved.

Activity based outsourcing: Where specific tasks are outsourced to

the partner agency.

Project based outsourcing: Where entire projects are outsourced to

the partner agency

Time and resource based outsourcing: Where the partner agency

commits to a pre-arranged amount of time and/or resources deployed

on the client projects

Strategic partnerships and joint ventures: In this model the partner

agency acts as the SEO arm or division of the client agency.

At VTech SEO, we are open to all forms of outsourcing except

performance based outsourcing. We believe that human time and effort

should receive fair compensation and our business ethics and outlook

do not permit the under-writing the risk of non-performance on behalf

of the client.

It has been our experience that most agencies that guarantee

performance or price for performance either practice black-hat SEO or

fabricate the performance. At VTech SEO, we denounce both these

practices and price our services based on time, effort or deliverables.

Build and Operate: We are geared to build an SEO team on behalf of

our clients, provide necessary training and ensure the integrity and

confidentiality of your business and clients.

Dedicated Resources: Some of our clients prefer to have a certain

number of SEO team members dedicated to their projects. We are

open to partner on the basis of a fee per dedicated resource.

entire SEO projects from the time the client signs a contract for the

SEO services. These are either executed on the basis of standard SEO

packages or custom proposals depending on need of each project.

SEO project starting with a pre-sales analysis and presentations to

dedicated resources USD1500PER MONTH

The cost of hiring, training and managing SEO resources is both a on

the existing team. In today’s work environment, hiring and training

need to be ongoing activities to sustain and grow an in-house SEO

team. We recognize that there are both cost and operational benefits

to having outsourced team members deployed exclusively on your

projects.

By virtue of having a majority of our operations team based in India,

we are able to provide significant cost advantage to clients looking to

employ dedicated SEO resources for their projects. We offer our clients

the following:

SEO team members exclusively deployed on client projects.

Strategic inputs from the senior members of the team.

SEO insights from the entire VTech SEO team.

US / India based client servicing support.

Our business model allows us to provide all of the above for a monthly

fee of USD 1,500 per dedicated resource, on a minimum engagement

of six months.

We could either provide support and execute your SEO strategy as per

the guidelines set by your in-house SEO experts or can have our SEO

strategists develop the SEO strategy for your projects at no extra cost.

Dedicated VTech SEO resources

Working arrangement

How can we afford a dedicated resource at this fee?

A partial list of our clients and partners

Most large agencies are expensive because of the following reasons:

* High cost of infrastructure

* High overhead costs

* Redundancy built into the pricing model

* Premium pricing targeting the high-paying clients, that takes SEO out

of the reach of most small and growing businesses.

At VTech SEO, we have been able to maintain an extremely low cost of

infrastructure and overheads. Having a majority of our operations team

based in India gives us an inherent cost advantage, in spite of

recruiting the best talent available to us. In turn, we extend these cost

advantages to our clients with a view to taking quality SEO services

within the reach of small and growing businesses around the world.

Are we too expensive?

Evaluating value against the fee charged by your outsourcing

partner can be quite challenging? What is “cheap”? What is a fair

price? At one end of the spectrum are the large, established SEO

agencies that charge up to thousands of dollars per month.

At the other end are extremely small agencies and/or freelancers

who price their services extremely low, either out of desperation for

business or as a result of employing automated SEO that seldom

works, by resorting to black-hat SEO techniques or by employing

cheap labor that is inadequately skilled in SEO and marketing.

The value of quality human talent

What would be a fair remuneration to quality human resources?

What seems like a fair price for the time, effort and skill that a task

requires? These are the guiding questions in determining whether a

solution provider is “cheap” or “affordable”.

VTech SEO is not cheap. We employ the best talents available to us

and believe in paying them the best remuneration in the industry.

This allows us to provide the quality of service provided by large

agencies at a fraction of their fee, making our services excellent

value for money.

USD100pre-sales competitor seo analysis

Why outsource pre-sales analysis?

New business acquisition requires time and effort. This is a non-

remunerative effort that is an investment in potential future

revenues.

It may not be possible to save the time and effort spent in meetings

and discussions with clients. However, outsourcing pre-sales

analysis of a potential client’s website with their competitors can

result in the saving of precious time and resources.

Benefits of outsourcing pre-sales analysis to VTech SEO

The cost of deploying in-house resources in a pre-sales

analysis of a prospective client’s website can be saved.

Fees charged by VTech SEO will always be a fraction of

executing the task in-house. Outsourcing the pre-sales

analysis will ensure a substantial saving of time and

resource in an important activity that does not always

result in a revenue.

Our business structure helps you save costs at every stage.

There is never a second chance to make a first impression. In most

cases, the pre-sales SEO analysis is the first impression you create. A

proper pre-sales analysis should include a comprehensive competitor

benchmarking of the potential client’s website against its competitors.

A limited analysis provided by a

number of online tools may not

be in-depth enough in a

competitive pitch for a new

business. A comprehensive

competitive analysis should include an evaluation of how a prospective

client’s website compares against its direct competition on a number of

SEO parameters.

* Comparison of the prospective

client’s site against four of its

direct competitors on key SEO

factors including:

* Indexed pages.

* Traffic to the sites.

* Number of inbound links.

* Google page rank and

Alexa rank.

* Presence in leading free and paid directories.

* Detailed report and analysis of the anchor text of inbound links.

* Error/broken URLs in each of the sites compared.

* Check for duplicate / short meta tags, keyword stuffing, etc.

Our Competitive SEO analysis would include:

* Check for custom 404

error pages and search

friendly redirects.

* Presence of HTML and

XML sitemaps.

* Externalized / inline

scripts and content

sufficiency on key pages.

* Use of technologies like

Flash, JavaScript, AJAX.

* A ranking report showing how each of the sites rank for keywords

parsed from the content of all the compared sites.

In addition, the report includes a summary of observations and

conclusions which will help your sales team put together a pre-sales

presentation. We can either do a pre-analysis as per our formats or

adapt the report to your preset templates.

* You send VTech SEO a

brief containing the URLs

of the prospect and the

competitors.

* You can indicate

important keywords.

* Payment can be made

to our Paypal account.

* We return the analysis

in three working days.

for analysis and interpretation.

month and results achieved

performing keywords

competitors for the same set of

keywords across search engines
