In-House SEO v/s Out-Source SEO

In-House SEO :- It is the act of optimizing the website either ourselves or by any internal person of the company

Out-Source SEO / Out-House SEO :- It is the act of hiring an external person for the optimization of a website( either by a company / Digital media agency or individual)

Here is a list of pros and cons of In-house and Out-house SEO.

Advantages of In-House SEOs:

■Internal personnel typically know their own company better than any external consultant is likely to (internal personnel will likely know their own ideal keywords best, for instance).

■Internal personnel typically know their own system infrastructure best.

■In-house SEO is cheaper than out-source SEO.

■They can focus only on company sites without risk of distraction experienced by external SEOs who may have to focus on multiple sites of multiple clients;

■They can build a specialized team, perfect for the needs of their own site;

■They can keep their company from wasting money on using strategies which are unlikely to perform well (in this respect, an external firm sometimes has a conflict of interest with the aims of keeping costs low);

■they can serve as guards, insuring that company sites don’t implement black-hat methods;

■they can serve as guardians of company interests in contracts with new online partners,ensuring that linking arrangements are mutually beneficial or to keep a partner from getting more benefit out of the arrangement than is merited.

Advantages of Out-House or Out-Source SEOs:

■External firms typically have much wider background experience for SEO, so they know many multiple beneficial methods to employ for improving site traffic.

■Externals can build up a team of broader expertise which a small company often can’t afford or justify to build up in-house;

■externals typically has direct experience in many multiple methods, so they can provide a wide range of options for deriving benefit;

■externals can often provide fastest chance of significant improvement, compared with companies which haven’t been performing their own SEO analysis and development work;

■externals can often provide link-building strategies that in-house SEOs might not be able to invent on their own;

■external relationships can be easily discontinued if they’re not working out, whereas with in-house, sometimes personnel are assigned to work in multiple areas and even if their SEO work isn’t showing good results, the employee(s) must still be retained for the vital work they provide in other areas.

■external firms often know a lot more sophisticated traffic exploitation methods, compared to internal resources — this is particularly true in cases where a company has just started having SEO work done by internal employees — newbies tend to only know the basic methods.
