This page will help you to choose the right SEO company for your web site.
Research:
Never all that much fun, but always necessary. A Google query on Internet Marketing Australia returns over 9 million results - start by elimninating companies which do not match your goals and interests. This may include companies with overly-long contract periods, very short contract periods, companies which are too expensive and companies which are too cheap - some companies offer SEO for rediculous prices such as $2.95 per month!
What Clients:
A lot of SEO companies will put up a "clients" page. Visit the clients' websites, do some searches for keywords that are applicable to their sites and see where they are located in the results. Better still, find out their contact details and ask how pleased they were with the company's service; most people will be happy to share their experiences.
Make Contact:
Send an e-mail to each of the companies which match your needs asking any questions that you may have. If you do not have any questions, send an e-mail anyway and make something up. If you don't get a reply, receive a very unprofessional or delayed reply, cross the company off your list.
Arrange a Meeting:
Ask for a phone call or arrange a private meeting for the company. A call or meeting will allow you to further determine what kind of people you are dealing with and whether or not you trust that they have what it takes to do the job.
