Everybody wants to take advantage of search engine traffic because it is widely known that traffic from search engines has a lot more value than traffic from any other sources. The question is how do you get visitors from search engines? There are only 3 answers to this question:<\/p>\n
Although our goal with this web site is to give you tips and advice so that you can SEO your web site<\/a><\/b> without further help, there are cases where hiring an experienced SEO firm is the best way to go.<\/p>\n Hiring a good SEO company can give you a number of advantages which go beyond getting more visitors to your web site. In particular small businesses or enterprises can benefit from hiring an SEO:<\/p>\n One of the dangers of having an open worldwide market like the Internet is the presence of scammers and the SEO industry is no exception to the rule. Unfortunately if you search to find an SEO consultancy company on the Internet, you will also find many fake companies or \u2018SEO\u2019 experts that can do more harm to your web site than good.<\/p>\n The following tips can help you find and hire a good and reliable SEO company:<\/p>\n Too good to be true promises<\/b> – This is a general rule on the Internet. When something is too good to be true then it is probably a fake. If a company promises first page rankings on Google for very competitive keywords by purchasing a bunch of links or an SEO package then save your money and stay away. To get high rankings you need a lot of time and effort and it is not just about links.<\/p>\n Case studies or success stories<\/b> \u2013 Everyone can claim to be an SEO. What distinguishes those who really know SEO from scammers is their history and background. Ask your to be SEO company to give you examples of their SEO work including reports that show increase in traffic from search engines. Look at the examples and do a couple of searches in Google about the particular web site. Can you find them in the Search results in the spots they claim? When did they start work on the particular web site and how competitive is the niche?<\/p>\n Experience in the industry<\/b> \u2013 As I mentioned above, SEO is a fast changing industry and to be able to cope with the changes and stay in synch with the latest developments you need true experts that have the necessary knowledge and experience. When did the company registered, where are they located, what is their experience? These are some of the questions you should ask them before making a decision.<\/p>\n White hat practices<\/b> \u2013 One of the problems faced by many companies who hire fake SEO companies is the fact that those companies are using black hat practices to achieve rankings. While the results may be encouraging at the beginning, very soon the web sites are punished and disappear from the search results. What is important is the SEO Company to use only white hat methods and more importantly you should ask them to give you a report of what exactly they will do on your web property.<\/p>\n SEO is not just about SEO <\/b>\u2013 As weird as this may sound a reliable SEO company will not only deal with search marketing but will create a complete Internet Marketing plan taking advantage of all possible markets available on the Internet today.<\/p>\n Who is behind the company?<\/b> \u00a0\u2013 The nature of this business gives you the opportunity to work with the clients using the Internet without having to do on-site visits. This does not mean that you shouldn\u2019t know with whom you are talking. Who is the owner and employees of the company? Is the company respected in the industry? How can you contact them?<\/p>\n Deliverables<\/b> \u2013 What are the exact deliverables of their engagement? Will they provide you with monthly reports showing progress? Do they define a starting point, milestones and specific goals in their agreement? When do they consider a campaign successful?<\/p>\n The point here is that you should hire a company that has a vision about your internet presence. Paying someone to optimize your web site but without having any real gains (i.e new customers, new leads, new sales, new contacts etc) is as good as nothing. A successful SEO campaign usually spans over a number of months and it is certainly not a one time or static process.<\/p>\n The good news though is that a reliable SEO company can open new horizons for your business or web site and all you have to do is choose wisely.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Everybody wants to take advantage of search engine traffic because it is widely known that traffic from search engines has a lot more value than traffic from any other sources.
