Freelance SEO vs. Professional SEO Company – Netpeak TV e.2

SEO and PPC services in the market today are provided by freelancers and specialized agencies. So who do you want to entrust the future of your business to?

Why do you need SEO and PPC

Did you know that there are twenty-three thousand, five hundred and eighty seven (23,587) Ecommerce websites in the US with an annual turnover of more than a hundred thousand dollars (100 000 dollars)? Imagine all the employees of these websites coming together... They would outnumber fans at SuperBowl! And everyone shouts: "My product is better, Buy my product!"

But thank God, Google Search Engine Results Page (SERP) is a far cry from Super-Bowl stadium. One page here can only contain 10 links.

Hundreds, thousands, even tens of thousands of ecommerce websites are out of play (they are out of business).

So why do you need SEO and PPC? To help you find your niche in online business? Definitely yes. To avoid selling online just like at a flea market, but to be visible to those people who are looking for you and are ready to buy your product.

Yet you need to know one important thing. Website promotion is a matter of trust.

Who do you want to entrust the future of your business to? SEO and PPC services in the market today are provided by freelancers and specialized agencies. So who is worth your trust? Let’s start with...

3 Advantages of freelancers to agencies

1. On the average, clients are 12% more satisfied with freelancers’ work efficiency. They pounce on a project as a lion on meat. 2. They can perform one-time tasks and you can entrust to them those tasks, you don’t want to hire a staff for. 3. Freelancers’ work is cheaper than agency services. And now we’ll proceed to the facts freelancers will never tell you.

4 Lack of freelancers to agencies

1. 70% of freelancers fail to meet deadlines. 2. If your contractor gets ill, no one will replace him/her. 3. Most freelancers have one-niche specialisation. Freelancer doesn’t see the project in complex. He has no experience of working with more than 12 hundred projects. A Freelancer doesn’t have to manage anyone except himself. That’s why if it is required to add other specialists, a freelancer won’t be able to involve them. He’ll hardly know how to organize and motivate them. 4. Freelancers will give you what you ordered but not what you really need.

From our experience, 80% of clients’ tasks assigned to freelancers are not leading to expected results.

Yes! You probably should think twice! Now let’s talk about agencies that offer SEO and PPC services
