Tread carefully if you are outsourcing your SEO. For every good company, there are 5 rogue ones, especially when work is off shored.

Make sure you have a basic understanding of SEO before entrusting it to someone else. If you haven't seen it already, this may be of help:

Hi Emma,

Welcome to the forum.

I can sympathise greatly with your problems with SEO companies, not all of them are there to bamboozle you, you just need to speak to the right ones.

My only advice would be to try someone local, whether it be off this directory or off yell.com and then at least it is someone familiar and not someone on the end of a phone, as sometimes its not always what they say its what they dont say that you need to be wary of.

Good Luck with your New Business

Steve
