okay so you want someone to take over foreign language sites or just non-US English sites

you need translation... cultural design... right marketing approaches for countries etc?

No - We are looking to have a company abroad take over the duties of managing a campaign for our US clients to same money. Looking for those who have done it.

We understand US clients will not want to speak to someone abroad but other duties can be done there.

Thoughts??

same money or to save money?

I have done many foreign country search duties from the US - as I am sure many others on here have - if you need an overseas based company I know a few.

Cheryl and Nicola over at SEOcials (http://www.seocials.com) are very good and based in the UK.

Most of the companies that are looking to outsource are multinationals, or companies from western countries and most of the BPO units are in countries such as India, China, Malaysia and even Russia.

Global outsourcing will ensure that companies can pass the reduced costs to national consumers or for investors to reinvest. New revenues will be created as global outsourcing will establish demand for national products, especially in high-tech products.

Both negative and positive effects of outsourcing can be recognized. Positive effects of outsourcing can include concentration on core business areas, world-class technology at lower rates, skilled manpower at affordable prices, increased productivity, competitive advantage and tax benefits. Negative effects of outsourcing can be decreased quality, increase in time-to-market, poorer customer service, hidden costs, loss of control, unreliable vendors and negative long-term effects on business.

As an SEO specialist, my client base in the US has all but tripled based on low-quality optimization performance from companies which outsourced the work.

Due to minimal control over the situation you can engage in a relationship in which there are no legal bounds for the work done by an overseas company but your company's reputation and liability is at risk if your client's branding, online reputation, or web site is tarnished.

General rule of thumb in SEO, you get what you pay for...and sometimes you're lucky if you get to pay a little less than the next.
