Many companies are cautious about hiring an in-house SEO expert, because the spectrum of talent in the search field is very wide. There are really gifted strategists and then there are those who lack the required knowledge and skill set to have any impact. Sometimes it is difficult for hiring managers to tell the difference between the two up front.

The reason for so much disparity is that search is an unregulated industry, and the hiring process for SEOs is still in the evolutionary phase. Some guidelines can be helpful for marketing managers looking for the best talent. There are many agencies that work with companies planning an in-house move that are happy to provide walk-away audits and strategies for creating search traffic. Having a strategy in place before beginning the hiring process is a great way to understand your search needs and goals, so you can better assess candidates against this framework.
