How to Choose the Best SEO Company

[steaner]

Choosing the best SEO company to help you promote your business or personal website may seem like a hit or miss situation as some SEO companies are better than others, so choosing the right search engine optimisation company to represent you and your business is a real crucial decision indeed. If you know what to look for when looking for the right SEO company you will be able to cut out the cowboys, and ensure that the company you choose will not only know what they are doing, but, will put the time and effort into helping you with your marketing.

When you decide that you need an SEO company to represent you and your website, ensure that you take your time in choosing the right company to help you, even if it takes you a matter of days, weeks, or even months to choose the right company, if you choose correctly you will not only save time, but also a lot of money too, as the difference between page one and page two on the search engines may be crucial to your product or service that you are offering.

Many good SEO companies will not only help you with your link building campaign, but they will review your on-page optimisation too. This means that they will review you meta tags, keyword density, title tags, and many other on-page formulas to ensure that your site is build in a way that makes it easy for the search engines to read. Another sign of a good search engine optimisation company is one that offers full reporting, and also shows you (the client) what they are doing on a weekly, or monthly basis. If you are in talks with an SEO company who don’t offer any type of reporting on their work, then it will be hard for you to monitor what they are doing for their fee, so this makes it hard for you to manage what they are doing.

If you have spoken to a search engine optimisation company and you think they sound knowledgeable, and you like the sound of everything that they as a company are offering it would be a good idea to ask them for at least 5 - 10 clients that you are allowed to review as case studies, and call to see what they think of the service of the company that you are thinking about joining. If the SEO company in question is unable to offer you any client studies or just one or to client studies then I would question why this is as if they are any good they should have at least 5 - 10 clients who are happy with their services and are more than happy to help them out as they have been help out.

One of the major questions I would ask a search engine optimisation company if I were looking is:

Do you Lock me into a contract? If so, how long for?

If an SEO company is good at what they do, and they are confident in the work that they are doing to their clients sites then there is little reason why they should lock their clients into a contract at all because if you are gaining good positions then you are hardly likely to leave them. If the contract is for more than 6 months then you need to question if that is something that you want to lock yourself into for that long because if the SEO company is not performing you are stuck there for a whole year without being able to employ another company to help you.

When looking for an SEO company the ones at the top of the search engines for keywords like "SEO" or "search engine optimisation" are not always the best ones to go for. The reason for this is: ok I agree they know what they are doing, and this position proves that they can get good results if they want to, however one question I would be asking myself is: ok they are good enough to get themselves ranked for some of the most competitive keywords on the internet, but, how much time and money do they spend on their own sites to get them there? Will this be my money that they are spending on their own site? Where do they find time to work on their own site if they have clients that they need to spend time on? So just because an SEO company is on page one for their own keywords, this does not always mean that they are going to spend as much time and resources on your website to do the same thing for you.
