Finally, the material about SEO business
In every company there is a distribution of roles and each role assigned their duties. In this post, I showed an exemplary organization for the management and promotion of the site.
MyOST: probably give my opinion, I see someone in an SEO company. I can see best the following scheme:
Executive Director (development, business planning, PR-function).
Technical Director (the actual development of the technological part).
Sales Manager (in the exploration and processing of primary clients).
Project Manager (involved in the conduct of the client, eliminating direct contact with experts and spending nerves in the event of an error professionals, in other words is a lightning rod for both the customer and for the artist)
Content Manager (the one who is engaged in making textual changes to the sites).
Copywriter (clear - writes the lyrics).
Web Designer (preferably with an understanding of the basic principles of creating a holistic working site, not just pictures).
Programmer (all the technical part of the changes on the site, layout and routine work falls on his shoulders).
Optimizer (I do not subscribe to the optimizer and linkmenedzhera, I believe that the optimizer should know and be able to do all this, but the best time to engage in spending is optimization and website promotion).
And how do you see the optimal scheme of allocation of responsibilities in the SEO companies? More "bureaucratic" or less?
Yes - there are a number of positions that can be combined, for example a sales manager and a project manager, but then it all depends on sales volumes. Sooner or later you have to delegate certain responsibilities for more effective management.
