There are a lot of search engine optimisation firms out there – some good, some bad. The good ones offer realistic expectations and clear and transparent information. The bad ones make bold claims and hide behind myths and confusion.
Is your SEO firm is underperforming and making strange excuses? Perhaps you receive a monthly report packed with jargon backed up with useless or opaque statistics? Perhaps you don’t even receive your reports on time? If so, it’s time to change – contact us for information about our SEO services.
Looking for a SEO firm for the first time?
If your prospective SEO firm offers any of the following claims, run a mile.
“We submit your site to over 500 search engines every day”
If your site is listed with a search engine, it is listed. You don’t need to keep resubmitting as the search engine spider with visit your page regularly. Do you use 500 search engines? Chances are you use Google and perhaps MSN or Yahoo – why bother paying for submission to obscure search engines?
“We guarantee No. 1 ranking”
No one can guarantee this. Rankings depend on so many factors that predicting and manipulating these factors is near on impossible.
Some firms class paid-for advertising as a no.1 ranking position, but this is not the same as a true no.1 “natural” ranking. Any idiot can get paid-for adverts at the top of Google, but chances are you want to reduce your budget, not increase it.
“We monitor hundreds of keywords”
Unlikely, and chances are if they are monitoring hundreds of keywords, these keywords are irrelevant and they are spending more time monitoring than actually working on your site.
