Back in 2018 I wrote what might be considered a scathing post titled A Special Message to India SEO Companies. I continue to stand by what I said in that post but I have an amendment I want to make to that information.
Those that read that post may believe I feel as though there is no benefit that can be had from using India based SEO companies. I actually believe that using an India based SEO company can be beneficial with a couple of caveats.
The first caveat being - you must ensure that you have the login credentials for all accounts they set-up on your behalf. If you do not there is a good chance that you will lose all your backlinks upon canceling your service with them.
I personally think creating brand new web 2.0s isn’t the best strategy but any strong web 2.0 link had weak beginnings. Perhaps they have strong web 2.0s they use or you can buy some PBN links to point at the brand new web 2.0s they set up.
Caveat 2 - do not use them for SEO to your most important website. Put them to work performing SEO for your YouTube channel, playlist or individual videos or other supporting website properties such as Web 2.0s, social profiles or other digital assets. I could go on here but I won’t risk disclosing a super great search engine optimization plan for free. There are plenty of places online giving out quality free information that may or may not be outdated.
Those conditions should be clear and straight-forward. I do not doubt the talent or ability of Indian search engine optimizers. However based on my experience they play things too safe and don’t do enough volume of good things to get your website ranked for any real highly competitive keywords.
Your experience may differ from mine but it’s critical to know how far you can and have to push things in order to obtain substantial rankings. If inexpensive, slow and steady is your thing then perhaps you should hire one or a multiple of these companies.
If you are attempting to achieve results quickly then perhaps you should establish your own SEO plan based on reviewing your competitors backlink profiles and websites, and hire a virtual assistant that will execute your plan at your direction.
No matter which option you choose, boosting the supporting assets of your website is never a bad idea. Most of us want to believe that there is an end date for buying seo services but the reality is that consistent efforts will likely be required to sustain high organic search engine rankings.
