New Service Optimizes the Search Engine Optimization Industry

SEO Group, Inc. has launched a new web-based service, available through SEOPartner.com. It is a virtual marketplace for search engine marketing services, which helps businesses eliminate the risks in contracting service providers. With search engine marketing and advertising poised to become a mainstream marketing avenue, SEO Partner, available through www.SEOPartner.com, is the first to streamline the market and establish efficient lines of contact between client businesses and search engine optimization (SEO) service firms.

Using SEOPartner.com, clients can zero in on the right service provider for their requirement from a range of SEO specialists who compete for their projects. Clients can conduct interviews using the web site’s virtual offices to screen candidates from a virtually unlimited talent pool. SEO Partner also provides an escrow mechanism to help clients control payments until satisfactory delivery of their work.

Bourne, MA; August 1, 2004: SEO Group, Inc. has launched SEOPartner.com, a first-of-its-kind service that makes it easy for clients – businesses of any size – to select the right search engine marketing service provider for their needs.

SEO Partner, available through www.SEOPartner.com, is the first service to bring order to the booming – but chaotic – market for search engine marketing services. “SEO Partner helps businesses eliminate the risks associated with dealing directly with search engine optimization (SEO) firms, thus improving efficiency and monetary savings,” says Mr. Mike Small, Director of Technology Development at SEO Group, Inc. “The service will hugely benefit Webmasters, marketing personnel and small businesses in driving up visitors to their web sites,” he adds.

SEO is the process of optimizing a web site’s design and content in order to make it appear higher on results of search engines like Google, Yahoo and MSN. With growing awareness about how search engines can be a highly efficient source of leads, thousands of companies, big and small, are eager to exploit the opportunity. However, they often run into a roadblock when it comes to selecting the right service provider for vital, and often, complex tasks like SEO. There are hundreds of companies that claim expertise in SEO and there is a wide range in the fees they charge.

Enhancing choice

SEO Partner, as a neutral third party, enables a “reverse auction” process under which the SEO firms bid for projects posted on the web site. “This gives clients a wide, virtually limitless, talent pool of specialists to choose from,” Mr. Small says.

Clients can read unbiased reviews and ratings of the SEO specialists by previous clients. They can then conduct interviews with the service providers via the SEOPartner.com virtual office environment. “Our carefully thought out process aims at ensuring that clients are well informed when making their selection,” Mr. Small says.

Value-added services

SEO Partner’s escrow account for payments eliminates monetary risk for clients. Under this system, SEO Partner transfers funds to service providers only after clients are satisfied with the results of their work.

SEO Partner also provides clients with an easy to use online project management tool called “Milestone Marker,” using which they can track the progress of their projects. In the unlikely event of a dispute or discrepancy, SEO Partner’s qualified associates will provide neutral third-party arbitration services to resolve the issue.

With search engine marketing and advertising poised to become a mainstream marketing avenue, SEOPartner.com is poised to become the leading service that streamlines the market and establishes efficient lines of contact between client businesses and SEO firms.
