If you are searching for an SEO firm to help you with various online marketing services for your business, then the first thing to look out for is how well designed the website is. This is particularly important if you are also seeking web design services, as a compelling, well-created website gives you a clear indication into how professional an SEO firm is.
The size of the business isn’t necessarily an indication into the quality of the firm. In some cases, a smaller, less renowned agency might be able to offer you a better, more competitive package than a larger one. Alternatively, the best firm for you might employ 200+ people with offices worldwide.
Listed below are our top tips when it comes to finding a top search engine optimisation firm:
1. Establish exactly what you need
When you approach a marketing firm you need to have a proposal ready indicating precisely what you are looking for from the firm.
Do you need help removing old links? Or perhaps you’re in need of a site audit? Are you searching for PPC management? Or content marketing services? Or improved sales growth within the next six months? Do you want to improve website rankings? Or build a responsive web design?
There are endless marketing services available, but knowing exactly what you seek from a firm will help you in achieving your exact goals.
2. Ask for a consultation
Once you know exactly what services you want from the firm, it’s time to request a consultation. Most SEO firms offer a free consultation because this gives them the opportunity to demonstrate their services to you and hopefully impress you with their business.
Following the consultation you should receive a proposal from the firm indicating the services you need, the timeframe for completion and of course, the price. Before offering the proposal the firm will need some time to review your website and industry of operation in order to come up with a fair offer and price.
3. Ask for References
Before agreeing to the proposal, ask the firm for references from previous clients. Most SEO agencies have samples of some of the projects they have worked on on their websites, but you can also request additional examples. You need to have utmost confidence that the firm will be able to successfully reflect your business’ philosophy and brand through the work that they do for you.
Summing Up
Enlisting the help of a marketing agency is one of the best ways to promote your business, improve your search engine results and increase revenues. There are countless marketing and SEO agencies available to choose from, but choosing the most reputable, high-quality and responsive company will ensure your business gets the right results, fast.
