How do you make the inhouse vs outsource decision for SEO? On one hand we know we need to focus on a small group of keywords and produce lots of really good, user focused content. On the other hand, seems like a lot of behind-the-scenes expertise that we don't possess in house. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
I'd recommend asking yourself and/or internal team two basic, but critical questions:
1. How up to date is the internal team on current SEO best practices and allowed tactics?
2. Does the internal team at all question their ability to execute successfully on SEO?
If the team is questionable on either answer, an outside SEO consultant should be considered. I've seen many websites get hurt by well intentioned internal marketers.
If these internal staff is up to date on SEO best practices, feels confident in their abilities, and has time to devote to the project, then they may be more then capable of executing successfully.
