Choosing An SEO Company

Everyday there seem to be more individuals and companies claiming to be ‘SEO Experts’.

But the vast majority of these so-called ‘experts’ don’t really know what they’re talking about and simply rehash pre-rehearsed lines over and over again to prospective clients.

And unfortunately, dishonest people like this give established companies like Big Bang a bad name.

To combat this, we’ve compiled a list of all the signs to look out for when determining whether or not an SEO company is worth working with.

Do they educate?

A good SEO company will always try and educate their clients about how search engines function, so that they fully understand why certain work needs to be carried out and changes need to be made.

If the company you’re thinking of working with don’t make things clear or try to use unnecessary techno-jargon, then it’s likely they’re compensating for a lack of knowledge.

At Big Bang we only talk in plain English. You’ll also notice that we’ve jam-packed our website with useful information on all of the SEO processes in order to educate both clients or people just looking to be pointed in the right SEO direction.

Do they keep you involved?

A good SEO company want a client to be actively involved in the work they do, because it means they can get a first-hand look at the value they’re providing.

If the SEO company you’re working with constantly disappear and don’t report back to you regularly, then the alarm bells should be going off as something probably isn’t right.

At Big Bang, we constantly report back to our clients and involve them in the SEO process as much they want, to ensure they’re getting the full benefit of our expertise.

Do they have credentials?

Like any industry, there are plenty of organisations and certificates you can look for in order to determine whether or not an SEO company is legitimate.

Make sure you always ask what qualifications a company has that prove they’re a respected source of expertise.

At Big Bang, you’ll always see our credentials presented front and centre, such as our membership with SEMPO or our Certified Company status from SEO Certification.

Do they have a track record?

One thing you should always ask for is proof that an SEO company has achieved success for other websites in the past. You’re also perfectly within your rights to ask for specific examples and not just vague statements.

If a company can’t provide you with evidence of at least a few successful campaigns they’ve worked on, then it’s probably best to look elsewhere for help.

At Big Bang we’ve got detailed testimonials from a selection of the many clients we’ve helped achieve their SEO goals. You can visit the Testimonials and ‘View Our SEO Results’ pages right here on our site or feel free to ask us directly. We’ve got nothing to hide.

Do they get good press?

If you want to do your own research, it’s always worth searching the web to see if you can find other people’s opinions or reviews of how an SEO company did for them.

There are lots of good and honest people who use the power of the Internet to warn people away from dishonest companies or those that offer very little value for money.

We’re 100% confident that a search for Big Bang won’t return any kind of negative press. That’s because we treat all of our clients with the utmost honesty and constantly strive to provide value and a solid return on investment.

Do they make big promises?

Any SEO company that claim to provide ‘guaranteed results’ or say that they can get you to rank number one on Google for a specific keyword, are lying.

There is no such thing as guaranteed results when it comes to SEO, as it’s by no means an exact science. These kind of claims are often just marketing ploys or in the worst cases, scams to get money without doing any real work.

At Big Bang we never guarantee results, because it would be dishonest to do so. What we do guarantee is that we have the experience and expertise to give you as good a chance as anyone else would of achieving success in the search engine rankings.

Do they use ethical techniques?

This is perhaps one of the most important factors as any company that engage in unethical SEO techniques, can significantly damage your long-term reputation with search engines.

Unfortunately, there are many companies that use black-hat or spamming tools to achieve short-term success. Unfortunately, when search engines catch on to their actions (which they always do) they’ll penalise a website heavily or in the very worst cases, ban them completely from their listings.

At Big Bang, we only use ethical and proven SEO techniques to achieve success for our clients. We’re always happy to explain what we’re doing because its always based on solid methodology and valuable past experience.
