How to find a trustworthy and experienced SEO expert?
6 years ago
General
If you are looking to outsource SEO campaign, it is wise to follow certain guidelines that will help you to find a trustworthy SEO company or an individual SEO expert. If you are not certain in a person you are hiring, you may end up with loosing your money or, even worse, failing the whole Call recorder · project.
So here are the guidelines that I recommend to follow when choosing an SEO expert to outsource your website promotion.
Communication Qualities
Responsiveness. Responsiveness is one of the key qualities of a reliable SEO, whether this is an individual or a company. If it takes them more than a week to reply to a simple request from a potential client, it’s a sure sign that when and if you become their client, answering your emails may take even longer. If the company does not reply to your within 2-3 days, I wouldn’t bother reminding them and just end up any liaising with them immediately.
Politeness. A prospective SEO should be reasonably polite. He shouldn’t be too flattering, obsequious or anything like that. Just polite and well-tempered like any other professional.
No pressure. It’s also no good if you feel pressure or a hidden desire to entice you into buying his services. Ideally a prospective SEO to hire should be calm, ready to help and not apparently trying to sell you anything.
Personal Qualities
Adequacy. An SEO your are going to hire should be a completely adequate person, i.e. he should seem to be the expert he claims to be. There are should be no conceived discrepancies between how the SEO presents himself and describe his professional qualities, and how he looks like to you in reality. Any weird behaviour, comments or answers are alarming signs of inadequacy.
Punctuality. If he promise to get back to you with an answer, a quote or anything like that by a certain time, he should do so. If he fails to keep terms at the stage of negotiation, there is no guarantee he will do this when you hire him.
Honesty. Ask the SEO if he ever had any failures (everybody does from time to time!) and see how he responds to this. A good professional should be realistic and ready to admit his mistakes. In no case should he shift the blame for his failures onto his clients, even if it was indeed their fault.
