Is it common practice for SE0 company to want to work with you indefinetely?

As in they get you ranked and keep your SE0 services going and expanding your keywords overtime?

As compared to working on a site for a few months to a year and then ending the campaign.

Let's say they are making you high powered sites/pbn's to point to you so if you left they can remove them. Is that a standard practice in SE0 space?

Thanks

    Anything goes in SEO (as with writing, web development, hosting, etc.). That's why people use contracts to specify exact tasks, expectations, costs, and time limits.

    I would never remove anything I have created for a client, nor do anything that makes them feel trapped to stay with me.

    That being said, SEO can be an ongoing process. The sites you are trying to outrank are not usually just going to sit back and take it. They are going to try to regain positions.

    Well if you are paying a company monthly for seo work and you cancel i could understand them removing your links from their PBN. It might sound bad but seo is an on going commitment. Not a set and forget thing.

      That is bullshit. Crappy backlink sellers do that, not SEOs.

        Yeah I I'm kind of bothered that they would do that and thinking if dropping them but we are 5 months into our campaign and it would sick to lose our progress, though I have required a few authority links without then during the campaign though and wonder if that might keep the site ranking if the PBN'S were removed.

        Also it is pretty weak considering we paid them to build them it's not like they did it as a favor for us.

        +1 for this. No real SEO professional is going to do that. Any professional would understand the nature of SEO; some customers will need ongoing help, and others will need help starting to rank. Each customer is different and to demand payments in perpetuity is ridiculous and unprofessional.

    Yes,

    SEO techniques are constantly changing. Also new directories/blogs etc are popping up daily.

    Information may change such as business address/numbers etc that your SEO expert will need to change across the www to ensure fluidity of your information.

    Google keeps flipping out new updates that mean we have to change an implement new strategies, and sometimes rectify old ones.

    Social media is a big part of SEO so that will need frequently updating.

    Websites need updating repeatedly, particularly WP and Joomla based ones.


    P.S Do your research on your SEO company first, any reputable one would never remove any SEO work you had paid for, that's just unethical.
