Will a Search Engine Optimization Specialist upload pages or do I pay my web designer

[Severus]

If I hire and SEO to tell me how my pages should change to rank higher, will he/she actually create those pages and then upload them or do they just make recommendations and then I have to have my web designer make the changes and upload the pages?

no a SEO only optimizes your pages to get higher rank. you have to pay the web designer to make the webpages, then the SEO will add extra coding that will optimize your webpage with search engines in order to rank higher

Actually, there are some SEO companies who will actually do the work on your site that they recommend (and you approve of). And there are other companies who are consultants only -- they'll tell you what improvements are needed, but they won't touch your site. You have to make the changes, or have your webmaster make them.

This is something to ask when interviewing companies about their services.

Hope this helps.

That's not right! It really depends on who who hire. We do both. It is better that we do it to assure that everything gets done correctly. Many web designers will not implement SEO or will not do it correctly.

The best policy is if you want something done correctly do it yourself. We live by this motto.

i too agree mostly with this policy although that only works when you have the knowhow on how to apply it and if you have enough time to learn if the knowledge is lacking

Right, I was speaking from an SEO perspective here. I will let the client choose but I would rather implement the changes myself than to turn it over to someone else who does not have my best interest in mind.

I have heard many horror stories where the web designer refuse to properly implement the information because they thought they should have gotten the work.

SEO task include onpage optimization. Meaning if there's a need to addor upload new page then it is a part of the deal.

It mostly depends on the package but mostly, SEO handles only optimization and website maintenance. A web designer is responsible only on the designing of your website page and banners.

I agree with you.

Again, it all depend on who you hired on what you purchased. We offer what we call holistic SEO. So we get involved in all aspects of the website. We go way beyond just increasing ranking and increasing traffic. Our goal is to make the website user friendly and to funnel the visitor into a purchasing decision.
