Finding the right Quality SEO Services takes time and work

1. To Make Money you have to Spend Money

The best way to find a good quality SEO services is to get a sample of their work and to do that at a low cost just get an SEO Website analysis from 3 companies and compare them to each other.  Most SEO companies will charge around $75 for an analysis.

When choosing which SEO services to compare get a sample analysis first to see if it includes an analysis on: meta tags, competition, keyword analysis that includes the best keywords to use and how many searches are made each month for these keywords.

Once you have all three reports, then compare them and ask each SEO company why they didn’t suggest certain things like the other SEO companies you got a report from.  If they can explain it properly, it’s the sign of a good company.

2.  Ask for reference and Examples of their work.

Asking for references is an easy task and any good SEO company will gladly provide those for you.  The difficult part is following up with them.  Do that extra step and you will save money.

Another important thing is to examine what keyword(s) they provided results for.  If the keyword is a local keyword, a keyword with 3 or more words in it and gets less then 100 searches a month for it then beware because those types of keywords are easy to achieve and does not measure whether or not that company can get you results for a highly competitive keyword.

3.  Ask for A time Line

You can actually check on their work to a certain degree by using an online back link checker as well.  These tools are easy to use and only take a few minutes of your time.
