Many web masters often ask themselves, how do I know if I am choosing the best SEO Company to hire for ethical, affordable and effective SEO Services. Well thankfully there are same ways that a webmaster can spot and pick the best company to optimize their website. The number one factor that every webmaster should consider is, if the SEO service provider can’t optimize their own website, then how can they optimize mine. If a SEO Company contacts you, it is usually a sign that they don’t get leads through their website. If they don’t have rankings themselves then you should not hire them, plain and simple. The best SEOs don’t need to solicit business, business solicits them because of their awesome search engine placement. Another way to determine if a SEO is a good fit or not is to do a Google search for a review about that company, if there are a bunch of bad / negative reviews on that company, maybe it’s not a good idea that you hire them.
Many SEO Companies offer several different SEO Services and some offer one or two SEO services. I usually like to choose a service provider that focuses on a few services, because that is a good indication that they specialize in a particular service that you are looking for. Companies that tend to offer many services usually lack the expertise in certain areas and may be an indicator that they are spreading themselves thin and not offering the highest quality services possible. The best advice would be to hire someone that specializes only in organic optimization if you are looking for only search engine placement, not in a company that offers social media optimization and pay per click services. They probably wont get you the best organic results possible.
Another great piece of advice would be to request a proposal from several prospective service providers. This way you can compare pricing and the type of service that you are being pitched. Some companies are out there for a short term strategy and will sell you a ton of services that you do not need, or they wont do the work that the promise, either way you will ultimately lose out in the end. Know what you are purchasing and also know who you are purchasing it from, also get multiple proposals so that you have something to compare companies and service offerings with, especially if you are a first time buyer and newbie to the SEO world. Not all SEO Companies are the same so don’t be fooled by the garbage companies because there are surely enough for them out there ripping people off every day.
