If you have put serious thought in to hiring an SEO firm to get your website on top of Google or a pay per click company to advertise your online business successfully and economically, here are some crucial tips to help you choose the right one for yourself:

When looking for an SEO firm or a pay per click company, always get detailed information about its total experience in the particular field. Does the SEO company hold relevant industry experience in optimizing websites or has it just entered the market? It is always better to choose an experienced online marketing firm that has offered services to businesses/websites that are similar to yours.

Find out the qualification of the SEO professionals. Whether you want pay per click advertising services or content syndication services or social media optimization or any other online marketing services, make sure that the company you choose has a team of qualified and dedicated SEO professionals. The SEO professionals must have completed relevant course and should hold proper certifications in pay per click and other online marketing tools.

Always request the pay per click company to explain you clearly the steps or the strategies that it is going to take to boost the ranking of your site on search engines or to increase traffic to your website. If the pay per click company hesitates in discussing the same with you, it’s better to look for another company.

Last but the most important, request the SEO firm to provide you with a list of its past clients or to show you its past portfolio. Visit some of those websites to evaluate the quality of services offered by the particular pay per click company. If the websites are enjoying high Google ranking, you can trust that company and hire it for your own business.

With all the noise in Pubcon around the recent Google Updates including Caffeine, Google Instant & Local, Matt Cutts came out quite easy in his speach in Pubcon.

He says Google updating the algorithm this frequently to make search experience speedier, like with the caffeine update Google could give out 50% fresher results.

A good piece of information for all the PPC folks who are a bit confused as to what will count as an impression on Google Instant:

- User hits search or enter buttons

- User selects a query from auto-complete

- User clicks on a link

- User stops typing and results are displayed for 3+ seconds

In case user stops typing (the forth point in the list above), in analytics the search query will be shown as coming from the complete keyword. For example, if the user was searching for “Mosaic Services” and they stop at  ”Mos”, analytics data will display this hit under “Mosaic” keyword.

With Google instant, it becomes more important to use Google Snippets to beautify your listing as it’s even harder to get a click on your keyword now even if you do get an impression.

Matt also pointed the “location” option in the left panel that has recently featured in Google search. It’s a great tool to check what results someone out of your geographic area will see. Great stuff with the results going IP based (the merger of local and universal results).

Another upgrade that will help in universal search optimization is the acceptance of a single sitemap file for multiple file types (so no need of a separate image/video/text sitemap)

Upcoming Trends:

- Mobile

- Local

- Social

- Variety (video/image/text)

- HTML5

Spam reporting has been embedded in the new version of Chrome to allow for easier spam reporting.

The first Pubcon session took off really well with a good turnout. The session was detailed enough for retail audience and had some good pointers for professionals in this area. I particularly liked what Andy Beal had to say and his presentation slides. It was interesting to know that Rhea Dry Sdale, COO Outspoken Media, saved the term “SEO” from being trademarked!

Also good to know that no one likes Google Instant!

Here are a few quick takeaways for those who don’t want to go through the huge literatures available:

-  Make an early decision to invest in your reputation management, instead of waiting for a crisis. At times it’s impossible to get a specific negative post out of the results if you didn’t plan things in advance.

- The easiest way to go about the most basic online brand management would be to host your authorized pages on all free user generated content channels like Facebook/Wordpress etc.

- When investing in Blogs for reputation management, create them on a sub-domain orbetter still a new domain instead of a sub folder. You want to cover more and more of the available real estate on the first page results and creating a sub directory blog will not help that.

- With Goolgle’s real time search results update (2009), managing the social media has become an intrinsic part of online brand management.

- Nice one… you can check Google suggested results using this query - http://google.com/complete/search?output=toolbar&q=”your keyword”

- Focus on reviews on your local search results, with latest update (local results have been integrated in the universal search for all those who were sleeping) they are anyway all over.

- There are many different things to track for your online reputation, the easiest way is to keep an eye on your analytics and look at any sudden inflow through a channel where you never promoted your site. Top things to track as per Andy Beal:

1. Google Alerts, subscribe to them

2. Blog posts, use tools like icerocket.com & keotag.com

3. You analytics data

4. Google search results

- No tool gives 100% relevant data, do a manual audit too.

- If you didn’t monitor and manage your reputation online on time and you got your first negative comment, should you panic? Well you can… base your reaction to the comment on the following factors:

1. In fluence of the poster

2. Tone of the content

3. Follow-ups on the post

4.  Viral effect

- For a wholistic reputation management approach, have a clear social media policy and educate your staff about it. Just giving your social media management to HR wouldn’t work. Any employee of the company can invite negative comments about it.

- The best approach would be to have your staff direct happy customers to your social media profiles and share positive comments, that’s the most natural way of building a positive online reputation that can be hard to break through with a few negative comments.

That’s about it. With reputation management climbing its way up the corporate priority, it’s important to start out early.
