So you’ve hired a search engine optimization company to do SEO campaigns for your business. In fact, you’re probably paying them thousands of dollars to do their job. The question is: are they? A search engine optimization company’s primary goal is to make sure that a client’s website generates relevant traffic and convert those visits into online sales. If this is something unfamiliar to you, probably because you DON’T earn online sales as promised by your search engine optimization company, then it’s probably time to hire new SEO specialists.
Here are some ways to gauge the effectiveness of the campaigns launched by your search engine optimization services company:
Inconsistency in high rankings. Dropping or gaining a few points in terms of search engine optimization rankings is nothing new to SEO. However, if you noticed that your position suddenly dropped from the Top 10 to the second or third pages of SERPs, then it’s probably because your search engine optimization services provider is not thinking of long-term results.
SEO content is out of style. Old ways of doing search engine optimization are no longer allowed, especially with Google’s frequent algorithm changes with Google Panda. Gone are the days when link buying, arbitrary keyword density percentages and keyword stuffing are legally practiced. A search engine optimization company should never practice these black hat SEO techniques and you should drop them as soon as you find out they’re doing so. Not only will your rankings be short-lived, Google will surely penalize your business for doing so. Just ask JCPenney about that.
Search engine optimization specialists should consider the competitiveness and conversions when researching for keywords to optimize. It’s not enough to have targeted keywords. You should make money FROM them. If your search engine optimization company of choice does not do this, you’ll only end up wasting time and money because these keywords will never rank.
Linkbuilding, web design, and other SEO efforts are other aspects of search engine optimization that you should look into to find out if the SEO specialists you hired are doing their jobs.
