SEO Philippines
Search engine optimisation (SEO) in its most basic form is any action taken to increase a sites position in the search engines. For example if you were an SEO working for Globe then you’d want them to rank high for terms like “cell phones”. These actions can be onpage such as the use of optimised page titles, URL structure and navigation or offpage such as link building.
SEO is still a relatively new industry within the Philippines and there’s only a small handfull of Filipinos who truly understand the advanced concepts of SEO.
If you’re looking to hire a Filipino SEO then you should be sure to ask for references from previous clients and review their true performance before hiring them.
It’s an unfortunate fact that many people misrepresent their skills and truly consider themselves experts or gurus when in fact they have very limited experience. Throwing up a WordPress blog, adding some tags and submitting it to directories obviously does not make someone an SEO.
There are many companies which have outsourced parts of their SEO requirements to the Philippines, although the work is usually pretty basic. For example writing and adding articles to a site, submitting to directories and social bookmarking.
