Silly mistakes made while hiring a SEO Company


Hiring a SEO company to optimize your website is necessary. Not everyone is an optimizer neither it’s as easy as 123 to learn SEO. Just by reading a few articles we cannot be sure that we can optimize our website by ourselves. We have to go through the learning curve; hence, trial and error is the only path that we can walk on. If you have time to go through the hit and run process and if you can wait till you can become a SEO expert, Good Luck to you, but in essence, I think that entrepreneurs don’t have time to learn everything that comes in their way, they need to hire specialists for different jobs that they need to get done, and they, themselves focus on the hardcore business activities that help them generate profits. Hence, we feel the need to hire SEO specialists who can optimize our websites and get us to achieve top search engine ranking, top places on the SERP’s for the keywords selected to optimize the website.

The efforts to find the best SEO company, we make mistakes. May be our lack of knowledge hurts our purpose and we fall for greasy talk. Here we must be careful before signing the contract, wait for few days and hunt through the resources available. I have seen people making some silly mistakes like:

a)      Falling for guarantees of 1st position on Google search results. No one an guarantee 1st spot in the organic search results. These positions are achieved overtime and through lots of ethical hard work.
b)      Not checking the current search engine ranking of the SEO Company claiming to get your website on the 1st spot.
c)       Not checking the ranking of the client’s websites of the SEO Company.
d)      Not getting in touch with the clients of the SEO company to inquire about the service quality
e)      Not requesting ranking reports, neither requesting for Google Analytics
f)       Paying full SEO fee in advance

Hiring a SEO Company is never an easy task. You can ask the SEO Company to prove their worth before signing the contract.
