FAQs

What should I look for in a freelance SEO specialist's profile?

Check if they have experience with businesses like yours. See if they have any certifications in SEO. Read through their reviews from past clients. It's also important to check if they have a portfolio with examples of successful SEO projects.

How can I define the project scope for SEO work?

Start by listing your key objectives, like increasing website traffic or improving search rankings. Set clear goals and timelines that the SEO specialist will follow. Be specific about the type of SEO. This could be on-page, off-page, or technical SEO. Make sure both of you agree on what 'success' will look like.

What should be included in the agreement with an SEO specialist?

Include all the tasks they need to do, like keyword research or link building. Make sure the timeline and milestones are clearly mentioned. Don't forget to clarify the deliverables, such as reports or audits. Also, outline any tools or resources you'll provide them.

How should I prepare for the kickoff meeting with my SEO freelancer?

Gather all necessary data and access they might need, like your website's login details. Prepare a list of any specific questions or concerns you have about the project. Make sure you understand the SEO goals and strategies. This will help in making the meeting productive.

What details are important for the initial SEO analysis?

Ensure your SEO freelancer understands your target audience. Provide your current website performance data if you have it. They might need to know about your competitors or industry. Make sure they are clear on what aspects of SEO need improvement.

How do I communicate project goals effectively?

Use simple language to describe what you want to achieve. Set SMART goals: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound. Make sure the SEO specialist understands these goals. Agree on how frequently updates will be given to you.

What should I include in a brief for an SEO project?

Include your business goals and what you expect from the SEO work. Provide information on your target audience and competitors. Set clear and realistic timelines. Make sure to communicate the key performance indicators (KPIs) you'll use.
