Getting Started with SEO

There are a lot of things you will need to know to get started with SEO on your web site.  There are a lot of things you can do to get the process started, but we do recommend that you CONSULT A PROFESSIONAL.

We mean a real professional - not someone who sent you an email guaranteeing #1 placement on Google in 2 weeks.  That's a scam.  There are no guarantees.

Web CEO

Here's a list of some things to consider:

Guaranteed Position:

No company should offer a 100% guarantee that they will place your web site #1 (or any specific position) in the search engine ranking pages of a search engine.  That said, a good SEO company should be able to give you some sort of guarantee - and if the guarantee isn't met, they should offer a refund. 

Recommendations:

See if the SEO Company will let you talk to some current clients about their results.  If that isn't possible, ask for testimonials.

Keyword Research:

A good SEO company should help you decide on keywords for your site by doing research, looking at your competition and determining what words in your niche are searched for the most.

SEO Ranking Reports

Ask to be provided with monthly ranking reports.  The best SEO companies will provide this as part of their service.

The Company Website

If the SEO company practices what it preaches, it should be ranking on it's chosen keywords.  Ask.
