Choosing the right firm to handle your company's search engine positioning is a matter of trust. An unethical firm can cause long-term problems for your business that not only waste your advertising budget, but also could actually prevent your site from ever getting listed in a search engine. If you are not an SEO expert yourself, it can be difficult to tell the legitimate search engine optimization specialists from the frauds. This guide will help you understand the questions you need to ask to ensure that you will be hiring an ethical firm that can really help your company achieve top search engine positioning and a steady flow of highly qualified traffic.

Be Sure of What You're Getting into before Hiring
Before you commit to a firm, make sure you know exactly how they will be handling the optimization of your website. Ask for the specific tactics they intend to use, how they will research keywords, and whether they will provide copies of reports to measure success. Any SEO expert that gives evasive answers or refuses to provide hard data to back up their claims should not be trusted.

Don't Believe in Grandiose SEO Claims
Many firms make big claims in their advertising, promising number one ranking in Google or submission to hundreds of thousands of directories. The fact is that no one can guarantee ranking in the major search engines, especially for popular keyword phrases that will actually drive traffic to your site. Furthermore, there just aren't that many relevant directories on the internet. These kinds of promises usually indicate that the firm is a spam advertiser that is best avoided.

Make Sure the SEO Firm is Well Ranked
How can you trust a firm to secure top search engine positioning for your website if they are not ranked in Google and other major search engines themselves? The most common reason for a firm to be absent from Google is if they have been blacklisted for using search engine spamming techniques. Therefore it's important to avoid SEO "experts" who are not listed in the search engines themselves.

Make Sure the SEO Firm is Using True Search Engine Optimization
Some unethical firms attempt to pass off other forms of search engine marketing, such as PPC campaigns or directory submission, as SEO. It is easy for an unethical expert to guarantee you a number one position using a PPC campaign? All they have to do is spend a large amount (of your money!) per click. While these activities can be valuable added services, they should not be the main focus of your search engine optimization campaign, because they will not bring in positive long-term results on their own.

Get Proof of the SEO Firm's Reputation
A reliable firm should be able to provide you with client references and testimonials to back up their expertise in the field. Check out their former clients to see how their sites are ranking in the major search engines, and send the webmasters an email to find out if they were happy with the firm's services.

Ask your SEO Firm for a Money Back Guarantee
In order to ensure that the firm you choose has a vested interest in your site's success, ask for a money-back guarantee if your website gets blacklisted for search engine optimization spam. This will help you ensure that only legitimate marketing tactics are used for your site's search engine positioning.
