Reply To: Followup question? Do real seos cooperate with the web designer to make those changes?

It sounds like a lock-in play

Not sure whats going on here – is this a project or a series of projects where the client moved to an SEO and they rebuilt the site?

Is this new marketing agency a website design agency/person who “also does SEO”?

I wonder if they have a billing model that they include the design?

As you can tell from the responses – the variations in knowledge, capability, activities can be quite vast.

Take my own site for example, (as a web designer) if I hired out an SEO to improve the site (on page) and then off page seo and marketing, would you require a redo of the entire website? or just add a few key pages? If so, what?

I dont know if its a play to get more work, if they believe their CMS is magic sauce or a way to lock them onto a platform.
