What We Don't Do

Google offers the following tips when looking for SEM/SEO services:

No one can guarantee a #1 ranking in Google. Google has no special alliances with any SEO company, and you should be wary of any company that guarantees your site will rank #1.

Be careful if a company is secretive or won't clearly explain what they intend to do. There are a lot of technical terms used in this industry. Ask for an explanation. A good SEO company will have no problem explaining to you the process and strategy. If they are secretive, beware, they could be using tactics that can get your site penalized or even banned from the search engines.

Be careful when an SEO company talks about the thousands of links they are going to make for you. The practice of link farms and free for all links will not help your rankings at all and could get your penalized.

Your relationship with your SEM/SEO Company should be one built on communication. You should have the ability to easily contact those that are working on your website. Furthermore, the company you choose should pay close attention to your goals and work closely with you to fulfill your expectations.
