Outsource SEO services digital concept

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is a long-term commitment. To get it right, brands must consider the pros and cons of these 2 options:

  • Keep SEO in-house
  • Outsource SEO services

This article helps businesses answer this question based on Prodima’s extensive expertise in digital marketing.

What is SEO Outsourcing?

SEO outsourcing involves hiring third-party experts to optimize your website. There are 2 goals:

  • Improve your keyword rankings (raising your website’s online visibility)
  • Attract quality traffic (bringing online users genuinely interested in what you do)

With SEO outsourcing, your business doesn’t need an in-house team. You pay specialists to do the job.

Those outside professionals can be:

  • Freelancers
  • Agencies
  • Business partners with an internal SEO team

To choose the most suitable option, we must first understand what SEO outsourcing entails.

What is Included in SEO Outsourcing?

There is no unique SEO outsourcing process. It depends on the provider and the area of expertise.

For example, an SEO freelancer may focus only on website audits and technical fixes. Another one may specialize in on-page optimizations. Most of them claim to be SEO copywriting experts.

Below, we detail what a complete offshore SEO service should include, in 9 items.

#1 SEO Web Audit

Offshore SEO starts with a web quality assessment.

The service provider follows a checklist to review the website’s compliance with SEO rules.

This audit includes hundreds of checkups.

Reviewed items depend on several factors:

  • Business industry
  • Business model
  • Country
  • Language
  • Competitors
  • Time

For example, your website may require more audits if it is an ecommerce platform.

This SEO web audit generates a report that includes passed and failed rules, a list of issues with their URLs, and an action plan to fix them.

#2 Technical Implementations

SEO technical fixes follow the audit (item #1 above) and require a web developer. That’s why not all SEO service providers can handle this task.

The programmer implements the recommendations to make the website SEO compliant. This step must come before any campaign activation, as it doesn’t make sense to publish great content or acquire valuable backlinks (see the respective items below) if the website is broken or too slow.

Based on the SEO audit, web fixes can include hundreds of items. The most common are:

  • Core Web Vitals (CWV) and page loading speed
  • Service or product page revamping
  • Blog section revamping
  • Image size optimizations
  • Various on-page optimizations
  • Linking (broken, internal links, etc.)

Once this task is completed, the outsourced SEO company can proceed with the campaign.

#3 Market Analysis

A thorough market survey represents a crucial step of SEO outsourcing services.

It looks up the required data to identify potential win paths for the business.

This market data must cover:

  • Demand volume
  • Product or service trends
  • Search intent
  • Audience profile
  • Cultural aspects
  • Languages
  • Local threats and opportunities

Offshore SEO services must build strategies based on facts, not assumptions.

To access this market data, we can use tools like:

This market analysis is especially important in SEO outsourcing, as the service provider often doesn’t know much about the brand and its industry.

#4 Competitive Benchmark

Besides the market research, the SEO outsourcing service provider must conduct a detailed benchmarking.

The goal is to clearly identify the SEO competitors of the brand products. First, we must differentiate:

  • SEO competitors
  • BUSINESS competitors

Both may be the same or not. Most companies focus only on business competitors, ignoring that SEO competitors may differ on the SERPs (Search Engine Results Pages).

SEO competitors are those directly competing for your target key phrases. They can be companies from your industry or not.

The simplest way to analyze this is to input the keyword on a search engine like Google and see what shows up. The top 10 results of the first page list the SEO competitors to benchmark.

The benchmarking task consists of analyzing the following items for each SEO competitor and each term:

  • List of keywords (and their variations) that rank and bring organic traffic
  • UI/UX and technical features of the landing page
  • Content of the landing page
  • Backlinks (quantity and quality) of the landing page
  • Authority and reputation of the SEO competitor
  • Online strategy of the SEO competitor

This information is essential for crafting a realistic offshore SEO strategy based on facts.

#5 Content Review

The next phase of a complete SEO outsourcing service concerns the content.

During the previous step (competitive benchmark), we analyzed the content quality of the SEO competitors. Now, it is time to compare it with our own content assets.

As the end purpose is to publish better content than all other brands, we must assess if we cover all aspects of a given topic. Besides, the content must follow the E.E.A.T. framework as described below:

  • Experience
  • Expertise
  • Authority
  • Trust

Most often, the brand’s content is not good enough. Otherwise, it would be ranking at the top of SERPs.

The content review’s goal is to fill the gaps and provide better information to satisfy online users’ search demand.

#6 Keyword Research

Thanks to the competitive benchmark (step #4 described above), we already have a clear view of which keywords we should optimize for.

Besides, outsourced SEO service marketers must analyze the best keyword opportunities by clusters. We call these “clusters” groups of keywords that answer a unique search intent.

For example, a key phrase like “product name” should go along with variations like “product name feature” in the same group. This cluster should be optimized on a specific web page (obviously a product page in this case) as all keywords satisfy the same search intent.

However, key phrases like “best product names” should be separated from the example above, because they answer a different search intent. With “product name,” online users want to learn about a specific product. With “best product names,” they want to compare different products. This intent better suits a blog article rather than a commercial page.

Once we identify keyword clusters based on market demand, competitors, and our business goals, the next step is to optimize the web pages accordingly.

#7 On-Page

On-page SEO makes web pages more visible and understandable for online users and search engines. An outsourced SEO supplier considers the following on-page items:

  • Page title
  • Meta description
  • Hx subheadings (H1, H2, H3, etc.)
  • Image ALT texts
  • Video HTML transcripts
  • Schema markups

On-page enhances the keyword strategy built in the previous steps. It boosts the web pages so they become competitive across the market.

#8 Off-Page

Outsource off-page services always come last.

Once the web pages are ready, it is time to promote them online.

Most of this outreach work focuses on:

  • Building online directory business profiles
  • Acquiring high-quality backlinks
  • Getting mentions and citations
  • Connecting the most important web pages to other websites

The main factors for selecting those referring domains are:

  • Relevance to the company
  • Authoritativeness
  • Reputation and trust
  • Traffic trend (declining or increasing)

Besides, off-page optimization focuses on important criteria like anchor text and backlink tag attributes (NoFollow, DoFollow, etc.).

#9 Measurement & Reporting

When you outsource SEO services, you must have a clear view of what is going on.

For full transparency, you should always know the source of data your partner is using. Actually, you should be the admin of those tools. Your offshore SEO provider should only be granted access to them.

Prodima recommends these simple and free software tools for campaign measurement and reporting:

You must also connect your SEO dashboard to a keyword ranking tool like Ahrefs or Semrush (both paid options).

Here are SEO metrics to follow up:

  • Domain rating
  • Keyword rankings
  • Organic traffic (per target web page)
  • Core Web Vitals
  • AI visibility
  • Backlinks
  • Organic leads

However, never waste time on vanity metrics like “bounce rate” or “time on page,” as they do not indicate if your SEO campaign is running fine.

For example, would you rather have a web visitor spend only 30 seconds on your website before making a purchase, or another visitor read all your web content for 45 minutes before leaving and never coming back?

Benefits of SEO Outsourcing

Let’s detail the 6 main benefits of SEO outsourcing.

Local Expertise

An offshore SEO service provider must have deep expertise in web optimization.

Wrong SEO leads to high costs (time and money). Business owners working with junior teams know it.

Not only does an experienced SEO team make the difference, but it also leverages the local knowledge that your company, based in another location, cannot possess.

If you expand your business in a country without a local representative, SEO outsourcing is the solution.

Operational Flexibility

SEO is a long-term digital marketing strategy.

With an in-house team, businesses can’t easily go on and off.

With an outsourced SEO company, they can.

Professional agencies propose flexible SEO packages. If you face unexpected hardship, you can always negotiate a simple contract exit. If you hire a team, you face more difficulties terminating it.

Besides, working with experts ensures they will proactively adapt to any business situation update. They are your partners looking for win-win. At least, that’s how we see such cooperation at Prodima Vietnam!

Cost Efficiency

Experts know it: running an SEO campaign for one brand is not a full-time job.

It takes time to get significant results, but it doesn’t mean we are always busy.

If you get an in-house team, at best they will work part-time for your company. You still have to pay the wages and the perks, according to your country’s legislation.

Working with freelancers or agencies guarantees you get what you pay for.

As they share their resources to handle multiple projects, the cost automatically decreases.

Not to mention the tools.

Agencies use SEO software like Ahrefs or Semrush at scale to optimize several websites. If you purchase a tool for your company, you will not use it for another. And such paid plans aren’t that cheap.

Time Efficiency

In parallel with cost efficiency (see the previous benefit), better time management is another strength of outsourcing to SEO companies.

Offshore suppliers schedule their time to work whenever needed. As explained above, SEO is not a full-time job when you do it for a single brand.

You also save time because you don’t have to learn all the cultural specifics. Your partner knows them for you. This also helps with recruitment, using local tools or leveraging the right channels.

Your business doesn’t have to waste time visiting the place. Instead, you can delegate to the outsourced support.

Scalability

To expand a business abroad, we either need local teams or local experts.

Creating legal entities in other countries is often a burden. It is costly. It takes time. It is not even guaranteed.

Outsource SEO agencies solve all those issues. Your business can quickly scale up thanks to those local partners. You can proceed with a valid contract in a matter of days, so your market entry doesn’t get killed by poor timing.

Besides, the offshore SEO company will also consult you, so your brand makes good decisions for this new market. Again, it saves costs and time, and helps you scale more efficiently.

Business Focus

Businesses often prefer to delegate their SEO to third-party agencies, so they focus on their core activities.

If you are great at building your product, polishing your services, or pitching your clients, but have little SEO expertise, you don’t want to handle this part. Even if you know it is necessary to your company’s growth.

Outsourcing solves this too. While your partner handles the complex SEO job, your team does what you are doing the best: developing your business.

How to Choose the Right SEO Outsourcing Company?

You should review these 7 items before considering any outsourcing SEO services.

Check their Website

Websites are the best evaluation criteria for any SEO agency.

Why? Because if SEO experts cannot feature a decent website, how could they do this job for you?

If you have paid tools, you know how to review a website’s quality.

If you have no idea how to evaluate a website’s value, just go for any free AI tool and prompt a detailed analysis.

Here is your checklist to appreciate an SEO-friendly website:

  • Is there any organic web traffic?
  • Are they ranking for keywords (other than their brand name)?
  • Is the website user-friendly?
  • Does the website pass basic Core Web Vitals check?
  • Are there separate services or product pages (one web page for each)?
  • Is there a blog section? Are the articles thorough?

This check-up should filter out most websites. You may be surprised to learn how many so-called “SEO experts” actually have no idea what they are doing.

In short: if the outsourcing company cannot do SEO for their own website, that’s a big red flag!

Check their Case Studies

Any professional company showcases client testimonials and a portfolio.

If they don’t have any, they are probably not worth it.

If they have, you should check if they look genuine. Past project details are easy to fake.

Good SEO companies not only have a case study section on their websites (all businesses do), but they are also mentioned in third-party media. Cross-check as many sources as possible to ensure the veracity of the claimed facts.

Ask for Free Recommendations

Third-party SEO agencies look for profit. We cannot deny this fact.

That being said, a serious offshore SEO provider should be able to share quick advice on your SEO strategy, website shape, or competitive analysis.

They are not expected to work for free. However, if they know what they are doing and are equipped with the right tools, it won’t cost them much to give you a hand with basic stuff.

Send your website URL along with your business priorities, and ask for a free consultation.

They will send a quick overview with some key items for you to consider.

Of course, if they send you back a “free SEO tool report,” that’s a red flag!

Pro insights never come from cheap sources.

Ask for their SEO Process

Serious outsourced SEO service suppliers must have a comprehensive process.

It should be specified on their website, at least on their SEO service page.

If not, contact them and review their SEO process.

It must look like the one we described above. If not, you may reconsider working with them.

Ask for their SEO Tools

Search Engine Optimization is a universal practice.

Regarding SEO tools, the country doesn’t matter. It means that outsourcing SEO to any foreign company won’t impact the tech stack.

Serious SEO agencies should use at least:

The above list is a staple set of tools proving SEO proficiency.

Your outsource partner may use more (like AI trackers or specific tools for dedicated tasks). But having none of them should be a huge no-no for you.

Ask for their SEO Reporting

As we said previously in the process section, SEO reporting matters.

If your offshore partner sends a monthly report with an XLSX file as an attachment, they are doing it the wrong way.

SEO is highly dynamic. They must connect your reporting dashboards (like Data Studio) to the data sources (like the Google Suite and your paid SEO tools).

Besides, your outsourced partner must report metrics that make sense for your business. If they only show you how high your brand name is ranking on Google, you should pick another service supplier.

We listed the most important SEO metrics to report in a previous section above. Ask your SEO agency for a sample report to ensure they care about the right things.

Ask AI for Lists of Best Outsource SEO Suppliers

Even if you are not good at SEO, and especially AI SEO, you must ensure your offshore partner is.

An excellent way to do so: write a prompt in your AI tool to list the best outsource SEO suppliers for any given country. Analyze the results.

The agencies showing up there are most likely able to run SEO for themselves, which is a criterion for selecting the most suitable partner. You don’t want to work with an SEO agency with no SEO skills.

In short, companies optimizing their AI visibility well should appear in response to your prompts.

6 Steps to Outsource SEO Projects

As outsourcing SEO services is a critical decision, we recommend businesses consider the following steps.

#1 Identify the Need and Goals

First, you must have full clarity on your SEO vision.

Too many companies fail because they were either unclear (“We want more clients”) or had unrealistic expectations (“Our SEO must save our sales in 3 months, otherwise we will go bankrupt”).

Here are the questions you must ask before moving to the next step:

  • Which country (and language) do I want to cover?
  • Which products or services do I want to prioritize?
  • How is my brand reputation versus competitors?
  • Is there any demand for my products or services?
  • Do I have full control of my website (DNS domain registrar and hosting)?
  • How much web traffic do I expect compared with today?
  • How many web conversions do I expect compared with today?
  • When do I expect those results to come?

No one should ever do SEO “for the sake of doing SEO.”

Any digital marketing investment and action must have a purpose.

Clarify it with our checklist above, then move to step #2.

#2 Define a Budget

Search Engine Optimization is one of the most ROI-effective online marketing strategies.

If you outsource SEO to professionals, fees should be significantly lower than hiring an in-house team.

However, it still costs money. And time.

With no budget, you cannot do much. And if you want your SEO campaign to work with a $500 total investment, you should realize we are not in 2010 anymore.

Secure a budget.

With a basic SEO campaign, you should plan for at least 1 year of investment.

The amount depends on many factors.

For example, a reputable company willing to promote a new product will certainly have to invest less than a startup entering the market.

Here are the main criteria impacting an SEO budget:

  • Website profile (release date, architecture, content quality, backlinks, etc.)
  • Industry
  • Products and services
  • Country
  • Language
  • Market demand (estimated with monthly search volumes)
  • Market trends
  • Competition

Pay attention to the country and language factors.

In most cases, outsourcing an SEO campaign in countries A and B means double effort and different strategies (and consequently, more financial investment).

#3 Send a Brief

If you are part of the 5% of companies not skipping the steps #1 and #2, you should be well-prepared to eventually contact the offshore SEO agency.

Share your company info and expectations. Don’t be afraid to go into detail.

At Prodima Vietnam, we know from experience that most businesses are too vague or not explicit enough.

The most important information to send absolutely from the very beginning: the website URL.

SEO starts from there. No website = no SEO. Don’t outsource SEO without having a website. You must build one first (or also outsource your web development to a WEB agency like Prodima).

Then, any more information will help your outsourced future partner build your SEO strategy.

It includes the analysis you did in steps #1 and #2. Send this, and you will get covered.

#4 Get a Formal Proposal

If you sent a clear brief, you should receive a clear SEO scope of work.

Earlier in this article, we listed a process for a complete SEO campaign.

You may require less (ex: only focus on local SEO), but your offshore partner must define clear task points.

This formal proposal should include:

  • Market analysis
  • Competitive benchmark
  • Website audit
  • Action plan
  • SEO plan forecast
  • SEO packages and pricing
  • Case studies

This baseline allows you to proceed with the next step.

#5 Compare

You should take time to choose the most suitable offshore SEO partner.

Always contact a minimum of 3 different agencies. More is better.

Reiterate the steps #3 and #4 with each of them.

Once you receive all pitches, compare them.

We recommend not looking only at the price.

It is easy to promise the moon for cheap. SEO agencies know that, once they onboard a new client, they should stick for at least a few months.

To outsmart them, look at their package commitments:

  • Do they have clear 1-year KPIs?
  • Do they share a detailed SEO project plan?
  • Do they list the tasks and deliverables?
  • Does the plan look realistic?

If you just pick the cheapest provider, you might be disappointed (in fact, we know you will).

Instead, look for value.

#6 Onboard

Once you choose your outsourced SEO partner, it is time to activate the campaign.

The agency should have a standard onboarding process. It usually includes:

  • Scope of work
  • Budget
  • Timelines and KPI forecast
  • Keyword list
  • Responsibilities (from your side and from your partner’s)
  • To-do list to kick off the SEO campaign
  • Communication channels
  • Reporting

From this point, we wish the best SEO performance for your website!

Which Companies Should Outsource their SEO Tasks?

Are you ready to outsource your SEO? Should you do it? Under which conditions?

We list below the main reasons that justify asking a partner to handle your campaign.

Brands Willing to Focus on their Core Business

Companies needing to focus on their core business should outsource their SEO campaigns.

It is a matter of competitive advantage.

Comparatively, it is more productive and efficient for you to put all your efforts into what you do best.

Same logic for your SEO outsource partner. They cannot perform your job, but they can deliver SEO performance much better than you.

So, the decision to outsource SEO is a no-brainer.

The biggest challenge is to select the right partner (see more details on this above).

Brands Lacking Expertise

If you have no idea how to run an SEO campaign, please acknowledge that the learning phase takes years. Besides, you must keep up with the trends. SEO is a full-time job.

Instead of making costly mistakes, your company is certainly better off with outsourcing its SEO.

Expertise is not only about SEO tasks. What if your company actually knows SEO but wants to expand to a new country?

It may take time to learn the language, mindset, culture, and local market expectations. For the same business, an SEO strategy can be extremely different from one country to another.

Working with a local SEO provider can make the difference in this case.

Brands Lacking Tools

As mentioned above, SEO tools are rather expensive, especially if you use them for a unique business.

Offshore SEO service providers use them at scale for multiple clients. If you cooperate with them, you don’t need to purchase those tools at all. Your partner will run your SEO campaign thanks to the proper software stack.

If you are serious about SEO, you can’t run a productive campaign without tools like ScreamingFrog, Ahrefs, or Semrush. And if you can’t exploit those paid subscription tools to their maximum potential, outsourcing solves this problem.

All Industries

Which industries should outsource their SEO?

The short answer is: all industries.

The detailed answer is: all industries, as long as it makes sense for the business to grow online and there is decent search volume for their products or services.

Of course, some markets are more promising than others.

For all companies having a website, it is always beneficial to outsource their SEO campaigns to professionals. However, B2C companies in FMCG will certainly see quicker SEO results than B2B companies selling industrial products.

If no In-House Team

Never try to run an SEO campaign by yourself if you have no skilled team!

You can’t learn SEO with a 15-min YouTube video; you need tons of practice. You must have tested SEO, failed, tried again, got some results, etc.

If you can’t have a dedicated SEO team in your company, don’t risk costly mistakes.

Hire an agency that will lift the work for you.

SEO Service Outsourcing – Pitfalls to Avoid

Beware of those classic traps when you outsource your SEO campaigns to offshore agencies.

Compare the Pricing Only

It is the most common mistake companies make when selecting their SEO partner.

They ask for a package (sometimes they even just take the public SEO pricing from their websites), then pick the 3 cheapest ones, and share this “curated list” with their managers to decide.

That’s completely wrong.

Cheap SEO delivers cheap results at best. Worst-case scenario: your website can even get penalized by the search engines if your offshore SEO company is running a complete mess.

With SEO, focus on value rather than pricing.

Follow our 6 steps to partner with an SEO agency, as shared above. Acknowledge that SEO is more about quality than quantity.

An efficient SEO campaign at an affordable price does not exist.

But SEO agencies offering cheap services are legion. Be careful with them!

Set Unrealistic Expectations

If you contact an offshore SEO partner with requirements looking like these:

  • We want fast results
  • We want to target these keywords (with wrong search intent)
  • We want to beat our competitors for cheap
  • We want your best offer
  • We want to do like ABC

Then your SEO campaign can’t go right.

Instead, understand how SEO works (Prodima has published plenty of free but valuable literature based on experience on our website).

Then, use common sense. If you are a new company in a market with several well-established competitors, you likely won’t become the new top of mind in the coming 6 months.

Focus on Unimportant Metrics

Vanity (and useless) metrics kill website organic performance.

If you force your SEO partner to focus on KPIs like “We want our average time on site to reach at least 10 minutes,” your campaign won’t go well.

The most important metrics to measure must be:

  • Keyword rankings
  • Quality organic traffic
  • Quality number of leads

The offshore SEO service provider must put all its efforts into improving those 3 items.

Consider SEO as a One-Shot Standalone Strategy

SEO works well… in the long run.

If you launch a new business and only rely on SEO, you will experience hardship for a while.

For small, medium, and large businesses, SEO is one of the multiple digital marketing strategies to consider. It should never work alone, especially at the beginning.

We recommend combining SEO with ADS services. If you outsource marketing services to professional agencies like Prodima, you can centralize all those tasks with the same outsourcing provider.

Consider SEO as a Stop-and-Go Strategy

When outsourcing SEO, it is tempting to activate then pause the campaign when the forecasts don’t look shiny anymore. Intuitively, it makes sense since most companies outsource their SEO to cut costs.

However, Search Engine Optimization doesn’t work like that.

Efforts in technical web adjustments, content marketing, and backlinking must be consistent. SEO results build over time as we send positive signals to search engines and AI tools.

If we run SEO, then pause, then resume, then stop again, then we send negative signals to the web crawlers. They don’t know if we are a decent business anymore.

That’s why we always recommend businesses launch their SEO campaign if they can commit in the long run.

Expect the SEO Outsource Company to do Everything Alone

You pay for the service. So, you want your SEO partner to cover everything alone, right?

Again, if it looks reasonable at first thought, this is not how we should outsource SEO campaigns.

Your SEO partner is likely to be good at digital marketing, but cannot understand your business better than yourself.

SEO needs deep market and product insights. You are the best one to instruct your outsourced SEO company. Don’t let them learn about your business from AI. Share your experience and expertise instead.

Go for Black-Hat SEO

Never outsource your SEO campaigns to a black-hat agency. It never goes well!

In the 2010s, implementing doubtful practices to cheat the algorithms was common. Today, the search engines and AI tools easily detect fraudulent website behaviors.

Prodima does not recommend running any black-hat SEO campaign. We don’t see any valid reason to do so.

The goal is to serve the best and most suitable content to answer people’s expectations. Focus on this and only on this.

How to avoid black-hat outsourced SEO agencies? Follow the guide we shared above to select the right partner!

Go for Fixed 1-Year Contracts

Like most digital marketing areas, SEO evolves fast.

While you should commit to a long-term period when outsourcing to an SEO agency, your contract must also allow some flexibility.

You can’t stick to the SEO plan defined 6 months ago if a major ecosystem update is changing all rules.

You should avoid offshore agencies forcing you to sign for fixed KPIs that are disconnected from market reality.

So, signing a 1-year contract is fine. But keep clauses allowing updates and addenda.
