2010 has already started at an ridiculous speed, with March upon us already! After reading a few blogs, posts and a report by Forrester, I decided it’s worth discussing how big search engine optimisation could get in 2010.

Dramatic Increase

The Forrester report has got me thinking; how quickly will business spending on SEO increase this year? It’s clear that after seeing some graphs on where Marketers see the greatest increase in effectiveness, that SEO services are at the forefront of everyone’s mind. Only social media and online video were ahead of SEO in terms of the largest potential increase in spending – interesting!

Why?

Why is this increase happening? Why do I see 2010 as the beginning of what will make SEO the biggest marketing tool for any business in the world?

Simple. Google continues to dominate, continues to improve and continues to diversify. If you want to be a success online then you need to pay attention to the major search engines; specifically Google. Appearing as high as possible on Google for keywords relating to your site will, and I’ve said this before, increase your traffic and sales almost immediately.

Knowledge

In my opinion, 2010 will see more and more businesses recognise the internet and recognise how valuable it is to be found on Google. Spending a few thousand dollars a month on an SEO packages that manages to get you on the first page of Google will soon seem like peanuts compared to the rise in visitors/sales your site is achieving.

Do you agree? Will SEO spending increase dramatically this year? Are you increasing your SEO budget? Let us know your thoughts.

Hiring a search engine optimisation (SEO) company is vital in today’s internet-driven world. For a business to be truly successful a website is more than likely needed, and the best form of advertising online is through hiring a respectable SEO company.

Results

Hiring the right SEO company isn’t easy – there’s so many out there, how do you choose the best one? Below are a few things to keep in mind when choosing a company to provide you with an SEO package:

• Google Results – Do they display the results from past and current clients on their website? A company with nothing to hide will always display results.
• Reputation - Have you checked out the reputation of the SEO company you’re looking at? Do they have good testimonials? Are you able to contact past and current clients?
• Price - The price should not be too cheap, but only pay what you can afford. If the company offers miracles in a few months then stay away! There are many cowboy SEO companies’ who claim to know what they’re doing but offer very little in return for your money.

At the end of the day, an SEO company that isn’t afraid to show past results is a company you should definitely consider hiring. If in doubt, contact a few past and current clients to really get a feel for the company; after all, you don’t want to rush into such a big decision (something that could decide whether your company makes an impact online or not!) without doing proper research.
