What
is an RFP?
RFP is short for Request for Proposal. It provides the
requirements of those wishing to submit a proposal and the
SEO services to be provided.
What
is an RFP's purpose?
An RFP can be used in conjunction with or instead (not a
good idea) of a contractual agreement. In some cases it
includes a start date and finish date, services to be
provided, contact information for the party requesting Proposals,
services being requested, details about skills that
may be required to quote on the Request. A short history of
any previous SEO services and providing a budget, though not a
pre-requisite, to be taken seriously it is strongly
recommended to provided some indication of budget calculated
either monthly or yearly.
How
is it used on SeoPros?
An RFP is used for 3 purposes on this site.
-
it provides members
with information about your organization so a more meaningful
quote can be obtained for the search engine optimization,
submission and linking services you require
-
it is used in
mediation between members and consumers (were the
requirements of the proposal fulfilled by the member)
-
Member
review purposes
Since members are
required to perform according to the "best
practices" standards of the organization it is important
that we have a clear understanding of what your requirements
of the member were.
What
are the benefits of an RFP?
The RFP and the Proposal resulting from the RFP
submission, in a sense, constitute a legal agreement. The RFP
provides the required services sought and some general
information about the manner in which the services sought are
to be performed. The resulting Proposal
outlines the costs and the manner in which the services are to
be performed.
An RFP provides the means
to compare quotes accurately since all quotes are generated
from the same set of criteria. Simply put you are comparing
apples to apples. The Proposal outlines the cost and how the
service is to be performed making it easier to evaluate
quotes.
