Follow on Google News | UK Small Businesses set to increase SEO spend in 2013Research by leading UK Digital Marketing Agency Omoii, shows that many small to medium enterprises are spending up to £22,000 per year on search engine optimisation (SEO), and will increase in 2013 in response to recent search engine updates.
By: Omoii Ltd Steve Pritchard - Managing Director of Omoii “It was a fantastic research piece to build, we were very grateful to all of the businesses who were so open about their digital marketing”. One of the key highlights from the research (http://omoii.com/ Pritchard continues “When we reviewed the analytics and ranking data against a timeline of Google updates, there was a definite correlation. The two large updates were released in the first quarter of 2012 and many of the SME’s who had been negatively affected, spent the remainder of the year trying to recover website visitor volumes.” The in-depth study asked a variety of questions including many on the type of strategies they would be developing in 2013. 68% of respondents stated they would be increasing SEO budgets in 2013 to help redevelop their SEO strategies. They would focus on expanding their content and optimise link building activities to fall within Google recommendations, with 59% of SME’s outsourcing their SEO campaigns to experienced agencies. Pritchard concludes “The real insight for us was that many SME’s realised that SEO is still worth investing in despite the setbacks they experienced. For them to increase investment in 2013, really shows how the channel has matured over the years and is still seen as a necessity for many SME’s.” Omoii is a specialist digital marketing agency, focusing over 8 years’ experience in helping small to medium business get more out of their websites.
