It may be a good idea to decide on if you and your company will be outsourcing or in-housing professionals to carry out your search engine optimization plan. Your decision may not be an easy one. Your decision will fall solely on your marketing budget, your web site goals, and whether you plan to embark on organic search optimization or paid search advertising.
Every company’s situation and decision will be different depending on capital and the above aspects. It is best to consult with your entire staff before making a final decision. Search engine optimization is not just an IT function, nor does it fall solely on marketing. There are many factors to consider when looking to bring in an outside team or help build the team that you already have.
Since SEO is an ongoing process, the ability to update your content is a great way to stay on top of your SEO efforts. Your in-house is able to do this because they are familiar with your particular industry. Outsourcing may bring in inexperienced writers who are not able to provide accurate content.
If marketing, content, and IT are correctly in sync and have clearly defined goals, SEO can be effectively managed in-house. Even though costs will be lower than hiring an outside team, be aware of whether you can support the internal resources as well.
Ask yourself, will one individual be able to optimize multiple pages, write content and tags, build links, and run reports fast enough to stay competitive? If not, outsourcing may be a better choice.

Let Someone Else Do It: Outsourcing
When a small business has decided to try and lower cost or make better use of their time and energy costs, what should be their next step? If the first thought that comes to mind is Outsource then you are correct! Outsourcing made its entry into the business world during the 1980’s and has been the success of many small and large companies every since.
Outsourcing is defined as subcontracting a service to a third-party company. It involves the transfer of the management or everyday execution of an entire business function to an outside service supplier. Ethically, both parties enter into a contractual agreement that clearly defines the transferred services. Outsourcing could be in the form of people, assets and other resources from a specific client.
Typical outsourced business segments include:
Real estate management
Human resources
Customer support
Facilities
Accounting
Information technology
Designing
A prime example of outsourcing involves a company called Affiliated Computer Services (ACS). ACS provides information technology services as well as business process outsourcing solution to government agencies, businesses, and non-profit organizations. In September 2009, Xerox Corporation announced preparations to acquire ACS. The transaction was set at $6.4 billion. The deal is expected to close in early 2010.
Reasons why outsourcing is carried out:
Purchase of industry best practice
Improve risk management
Control of budget
Ability to concentrate on core functions
Lower costs due to economies of scale
Gain market access and business opportunities through the supplier’s network
