Hi my name is Jay and I am the head geek at torontoSEOfirm.com, first off here are some tips on how to find a "Real" SEO Firm: - Make sure you can view verifiable case studies on past performance. - Make sure the firm has previous professional experience. - Any firm that focuses on raising your page rank and telling you that it is an important factor is BS'ing you. Remember a page rank of 4 can be achieved with just one PR5 backlink or a few spammy pr4's - Hire a firm that speaks the language you are optimizing for as their native language. - Don't fall for the "guaranteed results" scam. - Avoid blackhat SEO firms - Don't fall for the "I ranked so-and-so for the keyword - "big long unpopular phrase", and got it to number one!" ranking for uncommon key phrases is one of the oldest scams in the book. - Run from any SEO company that offers 'search engine submission' as a service. - Don't go with any SEO company that states they will be submitting your website to 300,000 directories. A limited number of directory submissions a few dozen or so is fine but directory listings don't hold much weight. Read my award winning Google Knol; Top 10 SEO Tips and read up on some of my case studies. I have been working online doing marketing and SEO for the past seven years. My last year was on contract in-house for a public traded company which has multiple authority sites in a very competitive industry. I have seen pretty much every type of spammy SEO fad come and go over time and can tell you that the best way to improve your Search Engine Rank Position and get more and better quality traffic is to participate in 'real' white hat SEO that will not get your site banned or penalized. Anyone that guarantees you top position in x number of days is setting you up for a scam. Chances are they are using black and grey hat techniques that will only show results for a short period of time and then may lead to penalization or banning by search engines. In fact there was a long thread involving someone on this forum that was offering money back in 3 months if front page was not obtained and after the first 30 pages of folks screaming for their money back I just shook my head and gave up on following it. NOBODY, I repeat, NOBODY can guarantee you results because NOBODY knows the secret algorithms and NOBODY can predict the unpredictable (what your competition will do, host crashes, site crashes, new tweaks by the search engines). Here is what needs to be done: 1. Evaluation of web site content and structure. 2. Keyword and competition research. 3. Optimization of content, meta tags, page and site structure, image tags and more. 4. Continuous link building, using 'real' trusted and proven techniques. Including quality directory submissions, 'real' blog commenting, social network promotion, 'real' content links and more. 5. The ability to keep up with the newest and most important changes coming down the line so your website can remain successful. If you want your website to succeed in this competitive environment you need an SEO company that has experience and integrity. I am currently accepting 3 new clients and have a few different packages to suit most budgets. I am looking for clients that want to develop a long-term mutually beneficial relationship.
