Positive Reviews From Clients
Reviews are a simple yet crucial way of getting to know and understand an SEO agency. You can learn a lot about the quality of services, results, and customer satisfaction by looking at ratings, reviews, and testimonials. Look up their social media profiles and go through the comment section. You can learn a lot about the agency through this method. When you are on the fence about an agency, this technique can help you decide.
Realistic Expectations
A major red flag when dealing with an SEO agency is when they guarantee a specific ranking on search engines. No agency or specialist can guarantee such a thing, no matter how skilled. Aim instead to partner with agencies that provide more realistic expectations. For example, at BetterSEO, we work with clients to ensure they experience organic and sustainable growth by showing them how to implement best SEO practices. While we don’t guarantee a specific ranking, we help businesses rank highly in searches.
Realistic Timelines
SEO strategies are designed for the long term. Agencies that promise to deliver results in a few weeks aren’t being honest. You should walk away if an agency doesn’t have your long-term success in mind. Instead, work with agencies that offer realistic timelines. BetterSEO uses factors such as domain authority, ratings, and competition to determine a more accurate timeline.
Works With Your Business Goals
A company is only as successful as its goals. Clear and measurable goals help determine a business’s direction to growth. An SEO company should work alongside your plans for the best results. For example, goals can help define the target audience, guiding the type of content, keywords, and marketing strategies the SEO agency will help the company implement. BetterSEO will work with your specific goals to tailor-make strategies and solutions for your business. If you don’t have clear goals, we can help you develop some that best suit your brand.
Transparency
Unfortunately, not everyone who claims to be an SEO specialist is trustworthy. Many agencies develop strategies that claim to be “quick fixes” that, in reality, could lead to more harm than good. Beware of agencies that are secretive about their techniques and methodology. A legitimate company with nothing to hide will clearly show its actions and why. Don’t be afraid to ask agencies questions about their processes and strategies.
Customizes Metrics For The Business
SEO strategies can be implemented in several ways to meet the specific need of companies. A thorough audit helps determine where the business is and where it needs to go.
BetterSEO is keen on customized solutions. We help keep track of key performance indicators that will determine how the business can improve. The metrics we track are based on what works best for clients, ensuring their business thrives.
