SEO Consultant Pitfalls by Ben Norman
You have decided to hire an SEO consultant to catapult
your website pages to the top of the search engines. What should you
look for and what should you avoid? How do you ensure you are hiring a
reputable company and you are going to get your moneys worth? These are
important questions that require answers before you hire anyone to
represent you online as it is too important to leave to chance.
Search engine optimization, (SEO), is an art and there are definite
tactics that work. The secret is finding a consultant that understands
how search engines work and will utilize the appropriate steps to get
you results. Through a campaign of keyword rich content, link building
and even paid advertising any site can see their page rank improved.
There are companies out there that use cheap shortcuts and the results
are never as promised. As a matter of fact, they can get your pages
banned on the major search engines which can hurt your business. The
most important first step is a visit to the Better Business Bureau,
whether over the telephone or online. There is also an online service
called http://seoconsultants.com that will provide you with information
regarding reputable consultants and companies. Take the time to research
your consultant before you make an agreement.
It makes sense to search for an SEO consultant through the search
engines. If they are as good as they say they are, their page rank
should be high. This is should not be the deciding factor as to their
success rate but take it into consideration.
Unfortunately, there are SEO consultants who use dirty tricks that may
offer short term success but the search engines are getting better and
better at catching them. They can and will ban your page for life if you
are caught cheating the system. Google for instance will scan your pages
and they like 2% keyword saturation that makes sense on the page. If you
just wrote a keyword over and over with no context, you may see a
temporary rise in page rank but then before you know it you are banned.
You can go to site:www.companyurl.com to search for the links the
consultant has employed to link back to their sites. If they are using
links that are from unrelated industries, that is yet another red flag.
A comprehensive link building campaign is not effective if the links
have no relevance. If you are a car salesman wanting to improve your
page rank, including links on a skin care website may fool the search
engines for a short time but is not a long term effective strategy.
Arming yourself with all the information to make an informed decision
can save you a lot of wasted time and money. Remember you should not be
afraid to ask any consultant you are interviewing about the tactics they
employ. You should be able to judge how they feel about the dirty trick
campaigns. They are competing against these people only they are playing
fair so they will know all about your concerns and empathize.
