We are going to tell you warning signals to look out for when you are searching for a SEO company or consultant to work with on your site.
- Please watch out for spam. Do you know what spam is? Unsolicited emails. You need to be careful not to choose a SEO consultant that just sends you spam emails. If they can send spam messages, they are also spam and not genuine themselves. Make sure to treat them the way you treat spam mails so that you will not get your fingers burnt.
- Google itself has said that it is not possible to get a guarantee of being ranked as number one on any of its search pages, so be careful you are not deceived by any SEO consultant that is promising you that or claiming to have special relationship with any search engine. You might even come across a SEO consultant that will promise you a priority submission in to enhance a top place ranking, do not go with such because there is no truth in that.
- A SEO consultant or company that is not ready to provide explanations on how they want to carry out the job you are offering is not a good choice for you.
- Please do not have anything to do with a SEO consultant that is offering links or submitting your site to so many search engines, you will definitely not have anything to gain from that.
- Ensure that you do not go with a SEO that has ever been shown in bad light. This you can do by conducting good research on the various kinds of SEO companies or consultants available. Search engines can help you in this regard.
- Do go with a SEO that cannot explain in clear terms what the money you are to pay is meant for. Is the money meant for an inclusion on search pages permanently? Or is it meant for temporary advertisement?
- Don’t employ a SEO that have shadow domains
- A SEO that gets traffic from unreal search engines, scumware and spyware are not good for you
- A SEO that does not have a listing in a search engine due to the fact that they have been removed or they never got one is definitely not a right one
- Any SEO consultant or company that operates with various types of nicknames is likely not genuine.
- If you find out that the SEO you are considering puts links to their other clients’ or on the doorway of pages should not be a choice for you because you will suffer a great loss if the relationship between both of you goes sour. The doorway that they put on pages is used to drain away the link popularity of the site in question.
Above all, follow your instincts, if you have instincts about the lack of authenticity of a SEO even if you have proved them to be otherwise by the above points please follow your instincts.
