It’s time. You tried doing it by yourself but your aren’t getting the results you want. You heard of all things you are suppose to do but can’t find the time to complete the mundane task necessary to increase your websites listing on google. Your search engine optimization isn’t where you want it to be and you have now decided to hire an SEO Company.
Be Careful and beware of false promises.
Things you should look for when considering hiring an SEO Agency:
1. Transparency – What will they be doing for you? Make sure they list out all the tasks they will be performing before hand in detail. Verify they will provide monthly reporting.
2. Packages Verses Ala Cart Services – During your consultation with the provider you are considering talk about individual tasks and the results each task will help provide. For instance your on page SEO may be already set up correctly so there is no need to pay for this service as part of your
seo package.
3. Work Type – Per Job or Hourly timeframe. It’s important to understand the way you will be paying for the work that needs to be done. If the firm will be correcting Meta tags on 2 of your pages are you paying a flat fee or hourly rate and if you are paying hourly ask how they came up with the time frame for payment.
4. Get What You Pay For – This goes without saying. I’m not saying you need to pay a hundred thousand dollars for good SEO service but just like anything else you get what you pay for.
5. Guarantees – Beware of companies that guarantee high placement in the search engines. While most companies know what needs to be done to achieve high rankings that does not guarantee high rankings will follow.
6. Contracts – Beware of companies that lock you into long contracts. Companies that do this can make you pay even if they aren’t producing results. Typically, you should see some results after a 90-day period. The best companies don’t make you sign a contract longer than three months in the beginning and then after that you can cancel at anytime.
7. References: Ask for references. If they are good at what they do they will be able to provide you with references backing their service.
8. Online Presence – Request a list of some keywords the firm you are considering using is ranking for. If they can’t get high rankings for themselves how are they going to get high rankings for you?
