If you have ever considered using a Search Engine Optimisation company (SEO) to help promote your website in the organic search engine results there are some things you should be aware of to help stop you hiring a company that is not up to the job.

Companies that promise you the number 1 spot in Google for a term – no company can guarantee a top position, any one who says they can is being dishonest or does not know what they are talking about.

Not even Google guarantees to get your website indexed in the correct category, they obviously want to and do their best but they can not guarantee it.

Companies that offer you hundreds or thousands of links for $49 this will harm your site, not help it, search engine optimisation is not about tricking the search engines, it is about helping them index your site well.

Companies whose site is not in the top results for their own search terms, if you search for search engine optimisation UK you will find Be Found or Die, if companies can not get these positions for themselves how are they going to do it for you?
