Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about hiring an AI SEO specialist in the Philippines.
Are Filipino AI SEO specialists good at writing for US buyers?
Usually, yes. The Philippines scored 569 on the EF English Proficiency Index 2025, in the high proficiency band, and English is an official language used in universities and business. We still test every candidate's written English, because AI answers quote your pages word for word.
Is internet in the Philippines reliable enough for remote AI SEO work?
For most work, yes. Ookla's July 2026 index put the median fixed connection at 113.37 Mbps down and 103.92 Mbps up. Power is the bigger risk: 43.9% of firms reported at least one outage in the World Bank's 2023 survey, so ask candidates about backup power and a mobile data fallback.
