How to choose an SEO company

  1. Ask for case studies with measurable results
  2. Request a sample audit or strategy outline
  3. Ask what they will do monthly and how they report
  4. Confirm they do not use spammy link tactics
  5. Check that they understand your industry and customers

Red flags

Guaranteed number-one rankings, secret methods, no access to your analytics, and long contracts with no exit.

SEO and your website

Search results depend on the site itself. A slow, poorly structured site limits any SEO effort, so combine SEO with good design and solid development.

Content and links

Blog content targeting buyer questions earns traffic and supports every service page. Internal links, like those in this guide, help search engines understand your site—see digital marketing agency guide for the wider picture, and email marketing for nurturing the traffic you win.

Local and ecommerce SEO

Local businesses need an optimised Google Business Profile and consistent citations. Online stores need unique product copy, category structure and technical health—see ecommerce website development cost.
