- How long has the company been in business?
- What is the experience that the company has?
- Does the company offer a well-rounded variety of SEO and SEM services?
- What strategies would they implement? Article Marketing alone is not considered enough and because a lot of companies use automated software, there is actually very little work involved past writing the article itself.
- What is the link building process of the company? Do NOT use companies that implement link farms or “link exchange” strategies. This is dangerous for reasons I don’t go into here but link to in my resource box below.
- Will the company offer both off site and on site SEO?
- Will the company guarantee that they would place the website on the 1st rank in Google/ Yahoo/ MSN? If so, they are NOT an ethical SEO company.
- What is the time frame for the results of SEO? Too fast means dirty business. No results can be guaranteed in any shorter a time frame than 4 weeks. They are possible, but can not be guaranteed because there is so much that is not in the control of the SEO company unless they “cheat”
- How would the company report the progress of the website to you? Insist on reports and accountability. A good SEO company will provide extensive and easy to follow online reporting systems that you can check whenever you like. There’s more, and it’s all here:
