Most companies know they need to do search engine optimization (SEO), thus they task one of their employees with doing it. Unfortunately many of the employees do not know how to execute properly, and end up frustrated. It is a lose-lose situation.
Without providing the proper tools and training, a company will struggle to be successful at SEO. Besides that, they could end up moving backward by inadvertently doing SEO wrong. It is critical that the methodologies used at the outset are effective and timely, and adhere to ethical SEO best practices (often referred to as "white hat").
For any company considering the same route of taking SEO in-house, remember that education is the key. Educating and training the key employees responsible for Web page development, content or design is critical to your success.
