SEO Companies in the UK, US, Canada and Australia are Outsourcing SEO Offshore?

It’s funny that most of our clients are SEO companies from the US, UK, Canada and Australia. Yet they have the guts to call themselves SEOs when they barely do the SEO work. I’m not writing this article to intentionally malign any SEO company. It’s just that there are several negative publicity written and published about offshore SEO companies which are not true. What’s worse is that these articles are written by SEO companies from the US, UK, Canada and Australia aimed at discrediting offshore SEOs. Ironically, these SEO companies are known to have outsourced SEOs in the Philippines and India. And still, on their blogs and published articles, they generalize that the offshore SEO companies are incompetent!

It is true that outsourcing your SEO offshore comes with risks much like when you pick an SEO company within your city, state or country. There will always be fraudulent SEO companies offshore but this is also true to SEO companies in the US, UK, Canada and Australia. Risks are inevitable part of search engine optimization. In fact, results from SEO campaigns are highly uncertain because no one knows the exact formula on how search engine algorithms work. Your SEO campaign may succeed or fail depending on various factors.

Why SEO Companies in the US, UK, Canada and Australia Outsource SEO Offshore

Apparently, cost is the main reason why outsourcing SEO offshore is a popular strategy even for SEO companies. It costs twice as much to keep an American SEO than when you hire a Filipino SEO specialist to do the same job. Both countries have different cost of living, which explains the disparity in income but both SEOs are expected to do the same work and achieve the same result – top placements on the major search engines.

Competition has driven SEO companies in the US, UK, Canada and Australia to outsource SEO offshore. With the way the global economy is doing right now, it’s not surprising that economic retrenchment has become a top priority for companies all over the world. Consequently, price or cost was catapulted as the main consideration when companies decide which outsourcing company to choose. Moreover, outsourcing companies cut-back on their expenses and explore their options for a cheaper business operation. Outsourcing offshore seems to be the only viable solution so they could keep up with the competition. Their competitors are already outsourcing, some if not all of their operations, to gain cost advantage so why shouldn’t they?

I really don’t have a problem with SEO companies outsourcing SEO offshore. Although they are more of an SEO reseller than an SEO company, they are still helpful in the operations of SEO companies offshore because they provide them with additional jobs. What is not right is for them to destroy the reputation of SEO companies offshore to create a mentality that they are the better option and that offshore SEO companies are a bunch of thugs.

Re: Outsourcing Software Development India Re: Outsourcing Software Development India - Outsourcing projects to Romania, India, and Pakistan have proved to be fantastic in quality and overall value. We've outsourced specific financial suites to Indian firms over the last 5 years and have seen tremendous results. We benefit from being able to have the same software completed over there for a fifth of the cost it would cost to be designed here in Canada. Kudos to you and your firm, all the best in the future!
Kathie from Melbourne, Australia Kathie from Melbourne, Australia - Hello everyone, I've been a contributing author for quite sometime with Evan Carmichael but only recently became aware of this forum - I didn't know it existed. I'm a mother of 5 daughters and wife of Graham. We live in Melbourne, Australia. My business was begun early 1994 fulltime from home so I could be here with our girls as they were growing up. I began a homebased secretarial business which became a Virtual Assistant business and network as the internet took hold in the business world. Today I manage a network of VAs in 15 countries. Blogging became the perfect outlet for me as I'm an avid writer so I write several blogs, have authored some books as well and periodically do articles for printed publications and online ezines and newsletters. Finally I've recently entered the speaking 'circuit' speaking at conferences, seminars and teleseminars, mainly in Australia but have begun to do a few teleseminars and radio shows for the US. I've just been asked to do my first 'physical presence' conference in Canada in 2009 which I am quite excited about.
Accessing the Canadian Market Accessing the Canadian Market - Leo, an idea that came to mind is try to align yourself with Hispanic Organizations in Canada. This will build your credibility within communities and get more referrals. Not sure if you plan on being based in Canada or operate your business from Columbia but either way being in the web development arena allows you to work from anywhere. You can also search for opportunities originating from Canada thru elance.com, getafreelancer.com, freelance.com or rentacoder.com
Re: Introducing a US franshise to a Canadian market Re: Introducing a US franshise to a Canadian market - [quote="BuzzAroundBooks":1l00q6iy]Hi Everyone, If there was a franchise you liked and located exclusively in the U.S., how likely would you be able to introduce the first one in a new market like Canada? How open are franchisors to this sort of idea? Has anyone heard how this was done in the past?[/quote:1l00q6iy] US franchisors are really open to "export" their concept to Canada for 2 main reasons: the proximity and the culture: Canada is just a few hours away from any US city and both cultures are very similar. I am actually reading stats on this subject as I write and about 80% of american franchises tat go international go to Canada first.
