10 Sure Fire Tips for Choosing The Right SEO Company
By Joe Borges
There is a lot of conflicting information out there when it comes to
advice about choosing which SEO Company is right for you. After
all, if you are like me, your Internet business is your livelihood; you
can't afford to trust its success to just anyone! Additionally, as you
may have already learned, time is not on your side. Every day that
you struggle with optimizing your website is another day without
sufficient income and another day that your competitors have a
chance to get the jump on you.
To eliminate some of the confusion, below I have listed the top ten
things that you should look for when choosing a SEO company.
Contrary to popular belief, it is possible to find an effective,
efficient and affordable Search Engine Optimization Company!
1. Size. A good SEO company should include different price points
for all business sizes. It should be able to effectively optimize
websites with pages from 1 to 1000.
2. Page Rank. The company should specifically address ways of
improving your website's Page Rank and Search Engine
Positioning. Ideally, this will include a detailed site analysis.
3. Keyword Optimization. Your site's keyword optimization is an
integral part of onpage optimization. The SEO Company that you
are considering should be able to analyze and optimize your
keywords, and suggest alternative ones, if necessary.
4. Linking Strategy. Any SEO company worth its salt will
understand the importance placed on both one-way and reciprocal
linking by the Search Engines. Therefore, they should offer and be
able to perform an advanced analysis of your website's linking
structure and offer to improve it.
5. Customer Care. You should have expert advice available to you
within reasonable parameters. Do you want or like to wait for
answers to your questions? I didn't think so! A company's
philosophy on customer service is your indication as to how reliable
they are as a company!
6. Time is of the Essence. If you can't save time using an SEO
company, what is the point? They should be able to do their job
professionally, without asking for continual guidance from you. You
should be free to work on other, more pressing projects, such as
developing another income stream!
7. Savings/Pricing. The company should be competitively priced.
Always compare the value of their SEO services with price that you
will be paying. The prices should be reasonable; this means not
too cheap, but not too expensive either.
8. Communication. The company should ask for all of your contact
information and offer all of theirs. You should be able to get
regular updates as to your site's progress, at any time that you
ask for it.
9. Value. Compare the price of the SEO service to that of
traditional advertising (for example, PPC or classifieds). How does
their price compare with other methods of advertising? Do they
offer better results faster, with much less cost?
10. Reporting. A serious SEO company should provide detailed
reports to you so you can see your website's performance. Do you
like guesswork? I know I sure don't! It is much better to see
results in print rather than "accepting" a verbal one. This way, you
can be assured that the Search Engine Optimization Company is
really doing what it said it would.
Choosing the right SEO Company is critical to the success of your
online business. Use the guidelines above and you will be starting
on the right path to making your business profitable.
