This Top Search Engine Optimisation Article About Questions To Ask
A SEO Company
Here are some great questions to ask when
hiring someone to do search engine optimisation
Hiring a search engine company in order to obtain a high ranking
in the major search engines can be complicated at first. Prices
and service vary significantly. To a business owner new to the industry,
qualifying top-notch performers and services can be time-consuming
and daunting.
Some SEO companies will charge you up to $1000 just for submission
and meta-tags!
In Sydney for example, prices can range from just under $1000 up
to $9000 for a basic service worthy of investing your time and money
in.
To make searching for a professional seo company easier for you,
here is a list of basic questions you should ask yourself before
committing your business - and your website position.
1. The price varies substantially.
As stated above the cost of a 12 month service will vary greatly
from $1000 up to $10 000 and beyond depending what the service includes
and how many keywords etc the seo will optimise your site for. The
more pages on your site that you want optimised for different keywords
will cost more as will the actual level of difficulty for ranking
you under the given keywords. Expect to pay more if targeting a
very popular search term.
Most SEO's want at least 50% deposit to begin or the whole fee
upfront. Either way you will not have much change from $1000 after
ordering any decent seo service.
2.What's included in the price?
All seo companies have varying packages for all types of job requirements.
From basic optimisation, submission and regular ranking reports
up to pay-per-click and paid directory inclusion, you must find
out exactly what is included in the package price.
Which search engines and directories are included?
How much is your current site changed?
Does this include maintaining the site after results are achieved?
How many keyword phrases do they work with?
Does the cost include building link popularity?
3.Does the seo offer any guarantee?
Most reputable search engine companies will give you some kind
of guarantee as to their service. This can be in the form of higher
rankings or more visitors to your site. Both ways are fine.
However you should be wary of companies who guarantee top 10 positions
if the fee is paid all in advance because engines change their listing
requirements frequently and even if you do everything right, the
top 10 can still elude you.
4.Proof?
This is an easy one to check as fortunately the actual search engine
doesn't lie. It's very easy to go to Google for example and check
the ranking of a site under a given search term.
Therefore make sure that the seo gives you some results that you
can check of work already completed and performing. Also a couple
of contact details should be supplied so that you can confirm a
clients' satisfaction with the service provided.
If the above cannot be supplied - forget it!
5.Competition.
How many if any of your competitors will the seo company work for?
Many good seo companies will only work with 1 or 2 websites per
search term and also may predominantly specialise in one industry.
Check this as you will have difficulty getting that top position
if the seo has 5 other clients also competing with your keywords.
In summary you should contact some SEO companies and see what type
of response you get. Do your homework before choosing the company,
and you stand a much greater chance of choosing an SEO who can really
help you.
It is my advice to stay away from anyone offerring to do a one-off
service as from our experience, it takes longer than the first submission
or crawl to get a site higher rankings but more importantly the
service isn't worth much if you are there for the first month but
in 6 months you are out of the top 30.
