So, you are not happy with your current SEO Company in Australia and you have decided to search for another company to take on your project or website. You have done your homework and evaluated companies, reviewed their proposals, interviewed them and selected one. Now you are ready to cancel your current service and transition the site to a new SEO company.
However, changing from one SEO company to another is not as easy as you may think. Here are a few items you should never overlook when switching SEO agencies.
Analytics access
When you hired your current SEO agency, they asked you to provide them with access to your website’s Google analytics. Make sure you log into your analytics access to remove the access of your current SEO Company because you want to change to a new one. Some people may think that removing analytics access isn’t necessary because the agency cannot do anything with the data.
Make sure your old SEO Company in Sydney Australia doesn’t have access to your analytics data because the least they can do is to compare your data with others. If they are working with another client who is your competitor, your old company will use your analytics data to get insight for your industry and help your competitor win the battle. Ethical SEO agencies wouldn’t abuse their privileged and take advantage of your data but it is better not to risk.
Access to Google webmaster tools
Your old SEO Company Australia might have asked for access to your webmaster tools account. Once the site is taken to another SEO company, your old SEO Company doesn’t need the data from your Google webmaster tools. So, make sure you log in to your webmaster tools and prevent them from accessing your data because they might misuse the data if they are not ethical SEO providers.
