It used to be that the management of your website landing pages, whether it’s e-commerce or a few informative pages about your business, was something that was considered manageable. By updating products and services that you offer, and making sure you are in a few local directories, many webmasters found this to be enough.

With the current state of search engine results and the competition involved in online trading, even small sized businesses are finding it necessary to have an SEO management team in place. Depending on the size and profitability of the company in question, this kind of marketing is handled either externally (by an SEO company) or in-house by an employee.

The typical business that would have a member of staff managing the SEO would be a medium size firm that perhaps has many different key phrases to target. When trying to maintain rankings for multiple search terms there is much more work to do on link building (internal and external) plus content writing, and this can easily be a full time position. This is certainly true of companies who run blogs alongside their main website.

For a lower turnover local retailer or service provider, SEO management is normally outsourced to a SEO expert who will be able to implement a swift and good value campaign to help the positions online. Because of the technical elements to optimization, including CSS templates, software, SEM practices, keyword analysis and submission of sites, it can be much better value than employing someone. SEO management takes away the headache of ongoing updates and constant learning of techniques, which would be required of a sole trader with little knowledge of the search engine market.

Large organisations in competitive fields like retail and news sectors need a dedicated team of professionals to handle SEO campaigns. Most high street retailers such as Comet and DSG International have used economies of scale by employing their own on site SEO teams to make sure they have the best ROI as possible. This kind of promotion for the bigger companies requires a huge number of man hours to keep with the latest keywords, PPC trends and managing blog and content.
