If you like many business owners are considering outsourcing an SEO firm or professional to assist with your companies website optimization goals, you are probably wary of dropping what may well be over a thousand dollars or more, without knowing exactly what you’re going to get for your money. Who can blame you, money’s hard earned and even more so with a tough economy.

How did you hear about the agency or individual? Did they call you up unsolicited on the phone with a line about ‘not finding you on Google’, and how they could get you on the first page of Google? Forget it, hang up immediately, seriously don’t even engage them! These are phone rooms working on sales volume, many provide shoddy or down right unethical services or, don’t do anything and just run quickly with your credit card number.

Besides, no one can guarantee you first page placement on Google or Yahoo for anything but nonsensical words or terms that are hardly, if ever searched.

A face to face meeting with your potential SEO professional is best because you should expect to get a clear, direct non-geek speak answer to every question that you have, no matter how small. Search engines, including Google and Yahoo may ban your website for any blackhat SEO tactics, after all you hired the agency.

You MUST know exactly what the web firm you select is going to do to optimize your website or your marketing efforts may be for naught.
