4 Tips To Finding The Right SEO For You
Our company deals with a lot of clients that have had horrible previous experiences with SEO. It’s a common problem and our best advice is always interview the company that is helping you with your SEO before committing to it. This post will equip you will some essential questions to ask before hiring an SEO company to help you out:
[success]1. How?[/success]
This is probably the most important question there is, and don’t stop asking it until you hear an answer that makes sense to you. How will you improve my ratings? How will you implement these strategies? How does SEO help my business? Any and all “how” questions should be asked. This way you’re putting pressure on them to prove that they can do the job properly. If they give you the runaround, it’s not the SEO company for you.
[success]2. Clients[/success]
Again, it’s all about proof. They claim that they can do this, that, and the other. Ask them to prove it. If there is any hesitation to provide testimonials or work done for previous clients, this company is definitely hiding something. The best companies will have this information available to you right away and may even go so far as to give you the phone numbers of their previous clients so that you can personally ask them about their experience.
[success]3. Practices[/success]
Unfortunately in the world of SEO there are a lot of scams going around. The way to avoid this is to ask if they use white hat practices and if they follow all rules and regulations set up by search engines. This is essential because if your website gets caught up in a fake SEO scam it will be banned from all search engines and you’ll have to start from scratch.
[success]4. Changes[/success]
Whenever changes need to be made, a legitimate company will ask for your approval before going ahead with anything. This is the way it should be, you need to be informed about what’s going on with your website every step of the way. A company that is simply looking to take your money will never give you any updates or monthly reports and certainly won’t ask for your permission to make any changes.
