Startup software company Yield will soon release an SEO-as-a-service offering. Currently it is in early testing by a few companies and will probably be generally available in early 2008. Yield's service is really three services in one:
- Search engine optimization, where Yield scans your Web pages for keywords associated with content, applies its library of best practices, and recommends changes.
- Second, through graphic representations it will who you how to organize content for increased effectiveness (pageviews)
- They will also provide paid search optimization services.
Yield's service is aimed more at the midmarket than at Fortune 500 companies (who often have in-house SEO specialists and online ad channels).
