SEO is time, you have undivided attention from SEORokit. SEORokit believes that our clients results are more important then being fastWhat a person should look out for is the results for their clients.

SEO is a lot of work to do well, and it takes constant monitoring and updating to keep your site well indexed. Because of this many website owners are starting to hand that task off to companies dedicated to the job search engine optimization. But before you choose a company to do your SEO for you there are a few things you should be aware of:

Beware of Outrageous Guarantees

Some SEO firms will guarantee #1 placement in search engines or they will guarantee a 100% increase in click throughs or some other outrageous claim. Steer clear of these companies. At best they will honor their guarantee in some roundabout way and you'll be left with a lot of money spent and little to show for it.

The other reason to avoid these firms is because sometimes they use techniques like cloaking and other SEO tricks that can get your site banned from search engines. Which would completely negate the money you spent on SEO. SEORokit does not use there techniques and makes sure their clients understand this before they even get started in a campaign.

Get Several Proposals from Different SEO Companies

SEORokit would love to have your business but we also know we are not the only ones out there, there are tons of SEO companies out there with different plans and costs and we ask you check at least three out before you sign up with us. This will give you a better idea of typical rates and what features you might want or not need. Without several comparisons, it's hard to know if you're getting a good deal or just getting ripped off.

Make Sure the Proposal Has the High Priority SEO Techniques

If the proposals you see don't include things like:

  • Keyword phrase generation and optimization
  • Content development and optimization
  • HTML accessibility evaluation
  • Domain and server evaluation
  • Headline and link evaluation
  • Incoming links evaluation and suggestions for getting more

Then you should ask them why these things are missing, and find out what it would cost to get them added in. SEORokit includes these techniques in the SEO report given to when you sign up for a consultation.

Look at the Timeline for the Proposal

SEO takes a long time to really take affect. If any company is saying they'll have results in a few weeks or months, then you should avoid them. SEORokit will stick with the job at least 3-6 months have passed so that you can see that there have been results. Plus, the best SEO work is ongoing, so a proposal that includes regular maintenance is better than one that doesn't.
