Build into the mix internal politics that many companies have with budgets and decision making and direction can soon be lost, leaving some in a marketing conundrum. The search marketing consultant may need to anticipate time delays from others  for implementing certain criteria of an SEO campaign, which can of course have a major influence on how successful a website might be if the consultant does not allow for the time delay.

Ethical marketing techniques are very much the order of the day , back this up with technical expertise and a mindset of creativity and an ability to see into the future of search and you have a skill set that most businesses need. True search consultancy power can only really be demonstrated on the results achieved for a particular market sector.
