Find a Good SEO Consultant

A good SEO consultant can be identified by the following factors:

1) Shares knowledge

A good SEO consultant doesn’t try to hide what he/she will do with your web site. If the consultant is not open about what needs to be done, you can be pretty sure some unsafe techniques will be used. Unsafe techniques can result in lower rankings and even being ignored by the search engines. Then you need to start all over again and even register a new domain.

2) Gives you a basic evaluation of your web site for free

3) No guarantees to nr.1 positions in the search engines

It is not possible to guarantee nr.1 positions in the search engines. A good SEO consultant will claim to get your site rank higher. You should be able to check other web sites that he/she already did. Ask for proof if you are in doubt. A good SEO consultant is able to get most web sites top10 positions for the main keywords. He/she will also help you identify the right keywords.

4) Goal is the success of the web site

The goal of SEO is to increase the success of your web site. You spend money on the SEO works so you want to get something back for it. The higher rankings in the search engines are just part of that. He/she also knows this and will tell you that the copy in your web site should be written for the search engines and your visitors. Just being in the top10 of the search engine rank pages does not guarantee more sales. The copy needs to be written for the visitors too.

5) Does not promises daily or weekly submissions to thousands of search engines

It is not necessary to submit your web site to thousands of search engines. Neither is it necessary to do this more than once. Most important is to submit your web site to the important directories and to do this just once! The search engines will find your site by them selves.
