When it comes to getting more search engine rankings, many people want to hire an SEO company to do the work for them. In this article I want to show you exactly what you need to look for if you are going to hire a company to do the work for you.

Costly mistakes people make when hiring SEO companies:

The main reason people want to outsource this part of their online marketing is because they don’t think they can do it themselves or because they don’t have the time.

That’s fine, but when most people outsource this task to another company, they end up making a lot of mistakes in the process:

#1 – Not researching how the company gets the rankings! You have to realize that there are many ways to get rankings and some of those strategies are not legal.

#2 – Not contacting people they have worked with in the past. You want to make sure that the companies that have hired these companies are still using them and still getting results.

So here’s what you should do when evaluating an SEO company:

#1 – You need to make sure they get rankings in the market they are in. If you’re cold called for business, that’s not a good thing!

#2 – You need to make sure they have long-term relationships with clients who pay them for results.

#3 – You must make sure that they do not outsource all the work abroad. You want to make sure they are using internal staff.

If you follow the steps below you should save yourself a lot of trouble. The other alternative is to figure it out yourself, as it’s very simple once you get the hang of it.
