Two SEO Agencies: Friend or Foe?

What I believe is content has more power but they are getting benefits or whatsoever from both companies. But as per SEO horror, if something will go off with both agencies, the website will suffer.

Now if a content goes up after change, he says his imhouse effort and only with content. Both companies or single company is not working.

Let’s say

At the end of the day, if any of the agency suggests something he ask chat GPT for verification. And sometime no one verifies.

Every SEO agency has own experiences so they may crash somewhere

Both of the agencies suggest different or same on page factors probably and he gets them fixed by his own in house team.

Listening to one agency and bashing agency 2 and then vice versa.

Whom to follow for SEO?

As per experiences, what happenings you people can mention here or what do you suggest.

With agency 1, he got all SEO knowledge of the time and now he says what else without following SEO rule.

A website owner hires two SEO agencies and follow the instructions of both while his inhouse writer writes SEO content which lets say agency 1 suggested him.

What I found is

I m little curious but want to share something because can’t bash other side

Working with two SEO agency at same time is not good I think.

There's more than 1 way to do SEO but they shouldn't necessarily be done simultaneously. One or both of those agencies could have a solid strategy but with 2 agencies working with the same client, they are likely interfering with each other's efforts.

I would never even accept a client if they had another agency involved.

Good agencies get to choose their clients, and having to fight to get the owner to listen

Working with two agencies is a terrible idea. Both agencies will likely let the owner know this, and if either of them accepts this they're both terrible options.

to them over another agency would not be acceptable.

That is the only metric you should ever count. If an SEO isn’t making you money and is not a business partner, then that isn’t the right person for your business.

Firstly to help you improve your English use chatGPT to rewrite your question. It’s genuinely a valid thought and has some good points. In general SEO is forever changing, I’ve been doing seo for 25-26 years. I’ve been building online businesses

longer. As SEOs we understand the importance of branding for growth. But because SEO ranking factors can change seasonally, having a team that can implement and identify what kind of SEO needs to be applied to a single website is the issue. Neil Patel has a lot of SEO knowledge, but people will put him down. Why? The answer is simple, his employees have little to sometimes no understanding of ranking factors across different geolocations and niches. SEO isn’t one size fits all. To succeed at SEO you need to understand the SERPs, you need to be able to look through the top 20 results without using any tools and make a simple human evaluation. Has anything changed for a while? Are the current pages implementing current SEO techniques? If not how stale do the websites themselves look and how often has the topic advanced since the pages were made? What kind of pages are ranking? And is the search query a real search query or is it being modified in Google pointing to the fact that people probably meant something else. So if you don’t have that know how of what to look for, or you can’t identify that Google has literally no need to update the SERPs because it’s a standard informational search query that shall never change. You’ve lost. Agency employees or founders use semrush or ahrefs and get blinded by completely false numbers into believing that the search query exists, they then proceed to search in Google for that search term, not understanding that 20,000 or 200,000 individual unique IPs did the same thing and Google indexed it in the predictive search but because they were all SEO enthusiasts, they bounced off every single top 3 position within seconds. Sending a signal to Google that the result was no good. And now you think that if you create a page that thousands are about to flock to it, what you don’t understand is, that tomorrow hundreds more using the same crappy tools are going to find that keyword, type it in Google, get excited to see that it’s a used search term because predictive search showed it to you and that person will bounce of your page within seconds sending Google that signal that your site is no good up until a point that it changes the search query output. So if you can’t comprehend that to begin with and as an employee I don’t expect you to, then yeah, agencies often aren’t the right choice if you genuinely want to target specific keywords in your industry. At the end of the day, many business owners do SEO because they think they need to. They don’t know why they need to, and they don’t understand the benefits because a lot of agencies use visitors to your website as a metric of success, which friends is the most useless metric ever.

You have to test and verify one thing at a time. There's no one set of rules except for on page and site structure. After that it's constantly tweaking things to find out what works for a site. 2 agencies will always clash. Eliminate excessive

variables because it's only going to make the test and verify processes harder than it needs to be.

I only have one question… why???? This sounds awful

If I were that business, I would sort the mess out by picking and sticking with one of the three, whether that’s one agency only or an internal team only.

If I were one of those agencies, I would never agree to take on that job in the first place. How could either of them actually do anything well?! Unless they both happen to follow the exact same processes and tactics, which is extremely rare. Are you

the internal writer in all of this?

It's either one team or none.

Can't bother reading anymore.

Did you say two SEOs on one website?

i suggest get a call from someone who has case studies and then have it verified through screenshots from gsc

Never heard of such a shyt show - I don't believe this is real. Sorry.

* Regularly review progress, discuss challenges, and make necessary adjustments.

Be Transparent and Communicate Effectively:

By establishing a clear strategy, choosing the right agency, and fostering effective collaboration, the website owner can maximize their SEO efforts and achieve sustainable organic growth.

* Align the in-house team with the agency's strategy.

Agency Experience: Each agency has its own strengths and weaknesses. Choose an agency with a proven track record in your industry and a transparent approach.

Technical SEO audit:Identify and address any technical issues impacting website performance.

* Ensure they understand the importance of SEO best practices in content creation.

Inaccurate Attribution:Attributing success solely to in-house content while dismissing the potential impact of the agencies is misleading. SEO is a multifaceted effort, and it's challenging to isolate the impact of individual factors.

* Collaborate with the chosen agency to create a comprehensive, data-driven strategy.

Develop a Clear SEO Strategy:

Conflicting Instructions: Having two SEO agencies with potentially different strategies is inherently problematic. SEO best practices evolve, and agencies may have varying interpretations.

Involve In-house Team Strategically

* Implement robust tracking mechanisms (Google Analytics, Search Console) to monitor website traffic, rankings, and conversions.

3. Addressing Concerns:

I hope this comprehensive response provides valuable insights!

Choose One Agency (Ideally):

SEO Horror" Scenario: While it's true that poor SEO practices can negatively impact a website, a well-executed strategy will generally lead to improvements.

* This should include:

* Provide training and resources to the in-house team on SEO principles.

This is a tricky situation where the website owner is juggling multiple SEO approaches and potentially creating confusion and potential conflicts. Here's a breakdown of the situation and some advice:

Lack of Clear Strategy: The owner lacks a unified, well-defined SEO strategy. This leads to inconsistency, wasted effort, and difficulty in tracking progress effectively.

Content strategy:Create a content calendar that aligns with the SEO strategy.

Over-reliance on Chat GPT:While helpful, Chat GPT should not be the sole source of SEO truth. It's crucial to rely on experienced professionals and data-driven analysis.

* Maintain open communication with the chosen agency.

1. The Core Issue

2. Advice

Keyword research: Identify target keywords and their search volume.

Track and Measure Results:

* Regularly analyze data to identify areas for improvement and adjust the strategy accordingly.

My best advice is

* Clearly define the scope of their work (on-page, off-page, technical SEO, etc.)

* If budget allows, select the agency that best aligns with your long-term goals and demonstrates a strong understanding of your industry.

Competitive analysis:Analyze competitor websites and identify areas for improvement.
