Are you looking for a SEO service? Did you know there are good and bad ways of doing SEO work? Many people are claiming that they can get you top rankings within X amount of time, and if they don’t you will get your money back. This sounds like a good deal to most average non-technical people, but the truth is that these are not such a good deal after all – at least the majority of them. SEO is something that cannot be guaranteed and if someone or a company say this it is likely either they are new in the SEO game, and know nothing about it, or they are using methods that could very likely get your site banned after a few months. So the next time you hear a deal like this, ask them for some examples of past clients. You will find most cannot show you any proof of work.
Having said all that, there are good SEO guys out there who may charge slightly more, but they will use long lasting methods to get your site onto the first page. Yes, it will cost more and possibly take longer as well, but the wait is usually well worth it because you will get the benefits from it many years after. If you already using a website design service at the moment you can simply ask them about SEO. Chances are they will be able to do it for slightly cheaper rates as you are already buying a website from them. But again, don’t let cost and convenience be the reason you choose a company to do your SEO work. Even if the guy is your friend or family member you should still look at it from the business point of view and take it more seriously. Otherwise you may be just wasting your time and their time.
The good SEO guys will tell you exactly what they will do for your website; they should never hide things from you and always give you up to date reports of the tasks they have done in that week or month. This will help you decide whether their methods are working for you and more importantly whether it’s profitable for the business.

I would definitely agree with you that everyone and anyone seem to be an expert on SEO and promise results that don’t stand a chance. With all the re-work it’s much more cost-effective and time-efficient to hire an expert and get it done right the first time around. Great post! thank you and happy holidays!
I will second the motion with Claire. You have a great post and an awesome site.
