Australian Companies: Why They Choose Offshoring to the Philippines

In recent years, offshoring business processes has become a popular way to cut back on expenses and get menial tasks done more efficiently. While there are a few different options in regards to the country you may choose to outsource to, more Australian companies are outsourcing/offshoring to the Philippines every year.

The cost of living in the Philippines is significantly lower than in other Western countries. In fact, living costs may be up to half of what they are in Australia!

Obviously, this means that wages are also much lower than in other countries. Your company benefits from this arrangement due to the cost reductions of offshore workers. You’ll be getting the same tasks accomplished for as little as half of what it would cost you to employ someone in Australia!

Another reason that offshoring to the Philippines saves you money is due to the similar time zone. Since the working hours there are pretty much the same as in Australia, you won’t have to pay for a night shift. (We’ll talk more about the benefits of a similar time zone below!)

How do I get my business to make its way to the top of the search listings and generate frequent traffic?

Amazingly, 65% of businesses admit getting leads and website traffic is a challenge.

That’s because traditionally, you would have two options:

  1. Devote some of your precious time to performing these tasks or,
  2. Hire an expensive in-house employee to take care of it for you.

SEO is an ongoing task that cannot be neglected. Particularly in the constantly evolving digital market. Skills need to be reassessed and honed regularly in order to keep up with the current trends and algorithms.
