Professional SEO services can help your new site get ranked quickly.  If you have an existing site, using a professional SEO service can help you increase your rankings in Google and the rest of the search engines.  Through proper SEO, you can get more targeted visitors to your website, and eventually, more leads and more customers.  A well SEO optimized website can definitely be a great asset and boost to your bottom line.

There are many professional SEO services in the market today.  How do you determine how to choose the best one?  Here are some tips and questions you should ask your prospective SEO:

Methods

There are many SEO tactics and methods being used today.  Some are designed to trick or spam the search engines are definitely not recommended.  If discovered, your site could be removed from the search engine index either temporarily or permanently.

You should be looking for whitehat or ethical SEOs who strive to work within the search engine guidelines to improve the visibility and ranking of your site in the search engine results pages (SERPs).  Although this might take a much longer time, if you’re running a business, using whitehat SEO improves the long term results of your SEO and internet marketing campaign.

Time

How long does the professional SEO take to complete the project and for you to see results?  Typically, for most small to medium sized SEO campaigns with reasonably competitive keywords, the SEO project would take about 6 months to complete.  This might be longer or shorter depending on the competitiveness of the market you are competing in.

Initial SEO campaigns could run up to a year for extremely competitive keywords, but for some less competitive keywords, you might start to see results within a month or too.  Do beware of any SEO who claims to produce results too quickly.

SEO (especially off-site link-building campaigns) is best done gradually.  Thus, you should tune your expectations accordingly.

Guarantee

Some professional SEOs offer a guarantee that your site will be ranked in the top 10 or top 5 in the search engine results for any keyword of your choosing.  The fact is, SEOs do not control the search engines and cannot provide any guarantee that you will be ranked.  Google tweaks their search engine algorithms several times a year and what works today might not work in the future.

Furthermore, ranking for a useless keyword with no searches or that does not indicate some sort of commercial intent is worthless to your business.  If nobody is searching for that keyword, ranking high in the search engines is not useful as it is unlikely to deliver any traffic.  Other keywords are highly searched but they might not be useful commercially. For example, “how to string a guitar” gets 1,000 searches a day but people who are searching for this term are not likely to buy anything as the information/service they seek is available for free.

For this reason, if you are looking for professional SEO services, you should focus on the value of their keyword research rather than any guarantees.  Ranking well in Google for a couple of good quality keywords is much better than ranking at the #1 position for a lot of useless keywords.
