  <body-formatted>&lt;p&gt;Hi there,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Was wondering if anyone had any advice from their own experience, or has seen any good information anywhere on the web, about the processes involved in&#160;bringing SEO in-house.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We currently use a supplier on a few days a month basis to carry out SEO maintenance, having already audited our site and made the technical and content changes we need to make from that.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I'm just not happy with the transparency of it, I can't nail down what activities they are doing when, which of them is helping, and it's all a bit clandestine and cloak and dagger. Also, we are in a position where we are growing the e-commerce team here and there is an opportunity for an internal person to take this on.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;However this person is no expert, so I'd be looking to retain some kind of specialist guru services, albeit not necessarily in a really hands on way.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Any thoughts really welcome!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks&lt;/p&gt;
