Frequently Asked Questions About SEO Consultants
How much does hiring SEO cost?
It depends on business size. Small businesses (1-10 employees) run roughly 30,000-100,000 THB/month, medium businesses (11-50) 50,000-200,000 THB, and large organizations (51-100+) 100,000-500,000 THB. Prices far below this range usually mean automated work that risks a Google penalty long term.
What do you need to learn to do SEO?
There is no mandatory degree. The core skills are: web fundamentals (HTML, page speed, crawling and indexing), content writing, keyword research and tools like Google Search Console and Analytics, and a working understanding of what Google's algorithm actually weighs. Most practitioners learn by doing and by tracking algorithm changes continuously.
How is SEO different from SEM?
SEO is optimizing for organic (unpaid) rankings, it takes months to show results but those results persist. SEM is paid search advertising (like Google Ads), which charges per click and shows results immediately, but stops the moment you stop paying. The strongest approach usually combines both: SEM for short-term results, SEO for long-term growth.
Which companies offer SEO services in Thailand?
Providers range from freelancers to large agencies. The safest way to choose is to ask for verifiable case studies, a transparent process, and to be wary of anyone guaranteeing a #1 ranking, since no provider fully controls Google's algorithm.
Which companies offer AI Search optimization?
AI Search Optimization (sometimes called GEO) is still an emerging field in Thailand with no clearly dominant provider yet. Most offering it are existing SEO agencies expanding their scope, since optimizing for ChatGPT or Google AI Overview still relies heavily on classic technical SEO and content quality fundamentals.
Where is a good place to get SEO done?
There is no single right answer, it depends on your industry, budget, and goals. The safest evaluation method is asking for verifiable case studies, a clearly explained process, and comparing how well a provider can articulate strategy, not just who quotes the lowest price.
What AI companies exist?
The major global AI developers most people encounter are OpenAI (ChatGPT), Google (Gemini), Anthropic (Claude), and Microsoft (Copilot). Each has different strengths, and together they are reshaping how people search for information, which is exactly why SEO strategy has to adapt.
What is AI Search?
AI Search is search that uses artificial intelligence to generate a direct answer instead of showing a list of blue links, examples include Google AI Overview, ChatGPT Search, and Perplexity. Users get a synthesized answer immediately without clicking through to a website, which changes how content needs to be written to get cited.
What is an "AI service" in this context?
In an SEO context, an AI service usually means optimizing content so AI search engines like ChatGPT or Perplexity are more likely to cite or summarize it. This overlaps heavily with classic technical SEO rather than being an entirely separate discipline.
How do you write a sample SEO article?
Start with keyword research matched to reader search intent, structure it clearly with H1/H2 headings, answer the core question early in the article, use keywords naturally rather than stuffing them, add internal links to related pages, and write a concise, on-point meta title and description.
How is Google SEO different from SEM?
Google SEO ranks a website in the free, organic results through content and site optimization. Google SEM means buying placement through Google Ads, which appears in clearly labeled paid slots. The two systems run independently and do not directly affect each other's ranking.
How many types of SEO are there?
Generally four: On-Page SEO (optimizing content and structure within a page), Off-Page SEO (backlinks and external credibility), Technical SEO (speed, crawling, indexing, and underlying site structure), and Local SEO (ranking for location-based searches like Google Maps).
