SEO Companies to Watch Out For
SEO is a marketing decision and like any marketing decision it should be well thought out before just jumping into bed with a seo company. Here are a few things to consider when looking for seo services.
The Guarantee
This is probably my least favorite thing to see when I look at an SEO company website or packages. Any quality seo company knows you cannot guarantee anything. We are at the mercy of search engines and they are constantly changing. Being up to date with seo practices and thinking out of the box is what builds a great seo service. Beware of the “#1 on Google” guarantee cause it probably ain’t happening.
Pre-Built Packages
This is a bit two-fold. I understand the want to offer a package as a seo company, but each project should be analyzed and looked at subjectively because each industry and project is different from the next. The seo package that works for one business may not work for another. This is why I like to offer a free website analysis and build a custom seo package to meet your needs properly.
Content
Like the pre-built packages, content needs to be viewed as a UNIQUE venture for each project. This needs to be completely unique and industry or topic specific, if a SEO company is offering you TONS of content it is probably ripped from a competitors site and “spunn” in order to seem unique for you.
Keywords
I have seen packages from seo companies that offer to optimize you for 30 or 40 keywords. On a grand scale its definitely possible and should be worked at, but in the beginning stages of getting your website ranked properly you want attention and focus on a smaller set of high traffic keywords. Quality not quantity!

Spreading Too Thin With Social Media
Building a successful social media marketing campaign for a small business is about choosing 3 or 4 and sticking with them. If you are trying to update to 20+ social media services than you are spreading yourself too thin!
My suggestion for the small businesses looking to seo your website and build a social media presence is to stick with the big ones. Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Flickr, and I really like StumbleUpon for sharing.
Focus your attention on those, build a plan for each that works together with your website and business goals, then execute your social media marketing plan.
To make things easy to manage, I highly suggest the service Postling. What Postling does is connects all your social media, blogs, and other accounts together (even LinkedIn and FaceBook!) so you can easily manage them all from one dashboard. I personally use it for myself and many clients and have found it dramatically reduces my workflow when trying to build links and get the word out.
I've arranged a discount for clients and my blog readers: 50% off Postling Coupon.
Enjoy!
