Choosing an SEO Provider – The Simple Version

Choosing an SEO compay to work with can be confusing.
Are they reliable, will they get your website penalised by doing dodgy stuff etc?

Our top tips are as follows:

1. Email 5 SEO companies with 10 keywords you think potential customers might use to find your business.
2. Tell them which country(s) you’re targeting
3. Tell them you want your own developer to implement their SEO recommendations
4. Ask them how they build links & to show you some examples
5. Tell them your budget bearing in mind that for new sites, we recommend 80% be retained for link building. How would they spend that budget?
6. Are you going to write fresh content on an ongoing basis or should they?
7. Ask them for a quote with detailed breakdown
8. See who sounds like they know what they’re doing & are happy to explain it
9. Take the plunge

Good luck!
