What would you expect an SEO agency to deliver in 6 months?
-
Hi All,
Looking for some views/opinions on this one, my question is "What would you expect an SEO agency to have delivered for a single client over a 6 month period with a budget of £12k?"
I appreciate that its fairly open ended and very subjective not knowing the site/circumstances but is there a general consensus or minimum you'd expect to have seen delivered for example x number of backlinks, x number pieces of content created, technical improvements made etc etc.
Any steer, views or opinions would be greatly appreciated.

At least a very detailed technical audit of where you site is causing issues and what you can improve. Also a very decent keyword research to figure out what you're already ranking on and could easily improve. Then a plan + execution on how the agency is going to drive certain groups of keywords/intents to the top of the rankings with creating great content and how they're aiming to do research around what makes sense.

Hi, yes £12k in total. Thanks for your reply I appreciate you taking the time out.

I assume the budget is £12k in total?
They might need £12k just to get a proper understanding of the website and an audit of the content, on-page, technicals, and competitive space.
X backlinks and X pieces of content doesn't say much. In competition, quality is everything. £12k might buy four very high quality articles that are extremely valuable, 60 decent product description pages that improve your web presence (but will not rank for much unless you have links or a strong site to place them on), or 1000 pieces of pedestrian content that get you a Panda problem.

I changed the {Site Name} of our domain slightly and capitalized a letter. The impact 48 hours later on SEO is really, really bad. How long does it take to recapture our prior rankings and should I change the site name back to the original? The {site name} was at the end of every page title. Thanks for any help/advice on this. We worked so hard to get our business on the first page for many keywords and "POOF" we are gone now.
