How To Avoid Wasting Your Time And Money On SEO Companies

So you have taken a look at the options, seen your competitors dominate the search engines and know that you need to get your website going. You are fed up paying per click to get on page one and need organic search engine traffic.

The problem – There are hundreds of SEO companies all wanting your money and promising amazing results. However look a little deeper and you can start seeing some cracks.

SEO Companies what do they do?

Many companies promise first page rankings and quick results but dont actually tell you what they will do for you. Look beneath the razzle dazzle and slick sales pages. What do they physically do? It seems a mystery even after reading all the pages and customer testimonials. Make it a priority to find out what work they do and make sure you get proof that the work has been done.

Recurring Payments

So they promise amazing results and say things like low price only £200. Sounds great until you realise thats the monthly charge and it recurs indefinately! Find out what you are commiting yourself too before jumping in.

Not on the irst page themselves.

Now this one does make me chuckle, if a company is any good at seo work then it stands to reason they will themselves be on page one for their chosen keywords right? Any good seo company will be on page 1? Wrong. There are so many seo companies with great websites and promises that advertise using Google Adwords because they dont rank in the natural listings and get no traffic. Make sure the company you use can prove it knows its stuff by being on page one itself.

Link Building Techniques.

Many companies still go down the old fashioned route of submitting your website to online directories or submit an article to hundreds of article directories. Well that can be a good thing but only if it is done correctly and mixed in with other link building techniques. Google and other search engines will not rank your site because there are 100 identical articles or identical directory submissions. Make sure all submissions are unique or they will carry no weight and have little to no effect. Do they use the correct anchor text when linking back to your site? Find out what link building techniques they use and make sure they know what they are talking about.

So to recap, try to look beyond any promises and sales jargon and look at real concrete evidence and proof.

Make sure they are on page 1

Find out the cost commitment

Make sure you get a full report after work is complete

Get a timeframe for the work to be completed.

Make sure you no not have to keep paying monthly unless the results encourage you to do it yourself.

Ask about the link building. Do they submit unique articles and descriptions to directories? Do they include video to get backlinks? Do they use the latest proven to work techniques?
