Web Design/Web Development/SEO/SEM - Starting a company?

September 29, 2008 on 7:41 am | By advertising | In search engine |

Hello, I am in the middle of writing a business plan for a company I am starting and wanted some feedback. I have a business management degree and years of experience in PPC/SEM/SEO. I am currently enrolled in web development degree. I am going to start a company that is a total solutions comapny (Web Design/Web Development/SEO/SEM). The problem is, I wont be able to do the web design aspect until I am proficient enough (about a year) but I can do the SEO SEM and analysis. What I was thinking of doing is: establishing a clintele now by sub contracting the web portion to a 3rd party company and handeling the analysis and seo sem portion myself. Then, when I become proficient enought in the development aspect, taking that portion over as well. Any thoughts are appreciated, except for negativity.

  1. Hi,

    Congratulations on your new company. It sounds like a great idea and I think it will be well-received in the marketplace.

    Establishing yourself as an expert in SEO/SEM first would give you credibility. Adding the Web Development part later when you are ready will only increase your credibility.

    What if you hired a 3rd party to do the web design and development and they didn’t deliver according to your standards? You’d have to totally rebuild that part of your business.

    By offering it at a later date, you also have an opportunity to keep your brand fresh and exciting. Many companies start out with just one product and then add to it. People will perceive your company as an innovative leader in your industry.

    Best wishes on your business concept. I look forward to seeing what you put together. Please let us know when you go online.

  2. I agree with the above answer, dont contract out unless you know the company/designer/developer will delivery to your expectations.

    Start your business as seo services for people that already have websites and such, then later add an addition to your site to offer web design and web development. This will also make it so your website has additions onto it and is not the exact same everytime google scans it.. as you are an seo grad, you already know updating a website will raise your ranking instead of piling everything onto your website at once.

    When ready to add the web design/web development sections you should have a client base already and would be able to send out a newsletter informing them that you are now doing web design and web development as well. And get some returning customers.
