What To Avoid When Searching For An SEO Company? Whether you are the owner of a small business or a medium company trying to market your enterprise online, chances are that if you have any experience whatsoever in trying to boost your ranking in the Search Engine Results Pages you will already knows the frustrations of trying to succeed in the digital world. Building a good reputation online is not something that can be achieved overnight, and when it is achieved it must be very strictly and carefully maintained in order to keep bringing in business. For this reason, it is absolutely essential to find a good internet marketing and Search Engine Optimization (SEO) agency to help you. However, looking for an SEO company in the first place can be a difficult task, as there are thousands upon thousands of these experts around the world, all offering to bring you the best results, and get you a top spot on the first page of Google’s search results and hoards of loyal social media followers. With this in mind, it is necessary to take your pick very carefully to ensure that your provider of SEO services is more likely than not to get you good results; here a few things to avoid when making your selection. Firstly, it is important to remember that the company that appears in the top spot on Google when you look for SEO or internet marketing services is not necessarily your best choice, although a company that has mastered their own SEO is still a good indicator that they know what they are doing. You should therefore avoid assuming that the top few companies that appear in the search results are the best for you, but still give them some credit for their high ranking. One way to test a company’s SEO strengths more effectively is by localizing your search, as it will show how they rank in relation to other companies offering the same service in their area. To give an example, there are many SEO companies operating in California, due to the business and entertainments hubs of San Diego, Orange County and Los Angeles. By searching for “Orange County SEO services” or “San Diego internet marketing”, you will be able to see how agencies stack up against each other and how effective their own SEO is in a smaller area. One other mistake to avoid is assuming that the bigger the agency is, the better they are for you. Whilst larger companies may certainly be proof of success in and of themselves, a smaller agency can
often provide you with an unparalleled amount of personal attention compared to the giants that it is competing with. It is important, however, not to assume that you will get any kind of “typical” service from a small, large or medium internet marketing agency. Instead, thoroughly analyse your own needs, wants and preferences when it comes to working with an online expert, and then see which company matches up the best. When looking for SEO services, make sure that the company is able to back up its promises with genuine referrals from clients, as there are many agencies who do not have many positive customer testimonials yet still “talk the talk” in their website copy or during their sales pitch. Avoid getting sucked in by the hype and instead ask your shortlisted agencies for real reviews of their services. If they are not so forthcoming, be prepared to do the research yourself. To use the example above, if you are looking for Orange County SEO services, search your local Yelp! Page for OC internet marketing agency reviews, as you will often find some honest feedback here. If you are looking for a company in Washington D.C., check local internet forums such as City Data or speak to other local businesses about which experts they would recommend and why. By following all of these steps, you are much more likely to find a company that is suitable for you and can give you value for money. In short, avoid being won over by big names or lots of hype, instead doing your own independent research about the quality of service and whether the company is suited to the specific needs of your business.
