Misconceptions about SEO Firms

  • People, mostly, believe that if a firm has a website; moreover, excellently designed website, then they are excellent in SEO as well. This is, however, not true. If you are looking for SEO services only, then many excellent service providers have second-rate websites also.
  • An SEO website ranks well, especially in a particular geographical area, because they are the best. But it may rank well due to many other factors, like oldest domain, low competition, etc.
  • Having hundreds of employees does not mean that the company is good at SEO, though they may be good at something else. The best SEO firm may not be a bigger firm and bigger is not always better.

Tips to hire the best SEO Company

You need to look beyond the superficial to hire the best SEO firm; here is how:

Decide what you need: SEO is extremely vast and spans many concepts. Make sure what you need: link removal, link building, reputation management, PPC, SEO audit, content marketing, etc. If you don’t know what you need, first know it and also decide your end goal; and then approach the right SEO firm according to your requirements.

Get Multiple Consultations and Keep Each Secret: Once you know what you need, talk to a few companies that seems qualified and trustworthy. Set an in-person meeting and discuss your goals with them. Most of the SEO companies offer free consultation. These firms check your requirements, research on your website and then come with a proposal and pricing within a few days.  Consult with a few companies secretly and choose the one that best satisfies you.

Get Case Studies and References

You cannot predict the future for your website’s SEO, but you can check the possibility of positive results by case studies and reference of previous clients of the firm that you have selected. Suppose you are running a cloth website and your SEO has already worked with similar projects; then you can check the results of those projects and get the idea of credibility of your SEO firms.

Make the Firm Narrate their Success Stories

Checking the case studies and references is not sufficient. Make sure that you have words with the firm about the success stories with their previous clients. Ask the SEO firm the story of their foundation, experience, worst clients, their process of handling worst as well as good clients, etc.
Doing these four things, you can ensure that you will hire the best SEO Company for your online business.
