While there is some overlap between an SEO Specialist and an IT Specialist, including more of the technical SEO aspects such as uploading XML sitemaps and implementing re-directs, your IT department is also very adept to configuring a multitude of non-SEO jobs.
Hiring an SEO Specialist or outsourcing your SEO to a reputable SEO Company like DigitUX will ensure your website will have the optimal combination of both technical and marketing best practices that will maximise your SEO results.

There are a LOT of SEO software and tools out there all claiming to provide you with the best SEO keyphrases, results and 1st page rankings. While all this might sound great for just a couple of hundred dollars, most companies come to realise it’s money down the drain.
The sophisticated programming software that’s out there makes a great assistant to an SEO Specialist but should not be used as its own SEO management tool. SEO Specialists will know if the recommendations a software program are making, are worth implementing and they also constantly have their finger on the SEO pulse to implement trends or changes to algorithms.

SEO is a long-term strategy that can yield some very rewarding and profitable long-term results; however, this is very unlikely to happen if you just open your wallet and expect the software to stay up to date and do the rest for you.
Luckily, SEO is also an affordable marketing strategy so it is advisable to pay for an affordable SEO package who will manage your campaign and allow you to continue to perform your job.

While building an off-page online presence around the web is vital for online success, SEO has changed to make link building more about quality than quantity. If you’re tossing up whether or not to purchase those 1,000 links from overseas or build some relevant and credible on-shore Australian links – then think again.
Building poor quality links are usually irrelevant toy our business, even the country you operate in, flagging Google’s suspicions over the quality of your website and can even penalise you.

While this myth seems logical on the surface, it just isn’t true. No matter how many pages your website has, there is no guarantee that all of these pages will even get indexed or be of any relevancy to visitors. If you’re looking to improve SEO efforts, only add new pages that provide visitors with new and relevant information. If you’re not, then put your efforts into making the existing pages better and more up to date – it will more worth your while!
