Choosing the right SEO Company in Singapore

Looking for the right SEO company to work with in Singapore? Then here are some tips to get you started with!

It has always been a great effort to find the right company to optimize your website for you and sometimes getting the right company is not just about saving a few dollars but the frustration that they do not achieve the targets they promise to achieve. As we are based in Singapore, I will share about the various SEO companies in Singapore.

SEO is the acronym for Search Engine Optimization. This means improving your website prominence so that it can be found organically in the search engines i.e. Google, Yahoo or Bing. Another meaning of SEO is to bring increased web traffic to your website where you can leverage on and get conversions.

When we find a
SEO company, we are concerned with 2 main things namely:
  • How can the SEO company deliver to my expectations
  • Its value for services
As in SEO there will always be recurring costs, and these recurring costs are the maintenance fees which are going to be charged monthly. The purpose of having this maintenance is so that the SEO company will continue to optimize your choice of keywords to higher ranking and maintain the positions and bring up the traffic of the website.

The price factor of
SEO that many companies charges comprised of the period of implementation which can range from $200,000 to as low as $8500 for a 20 page website and the maintenance fee. The maintenance fee is varies between a 10-15% of the total budget and is paid monthly. Payment of the maintenance fee normally comes in only after 4 to 6 months after SEO has been implemented and after Key Performance Indices (KPI) has been reached.

SEO professionals in general will tell you a common thing which is websites based on flash cannot be optimized, pages too little cannot optimize, website too new cannot optimize and a lot more. They will expect your domain to be a few years of age and already indexed by the search engines. But this is the lazy way of how a SEO company will perform.
