How to Choose the Right SEO Agency for Your Business

There are hundreds of SEO agencies trying to convince you that they are the best of the best, making it difficult to determine which one to trust and partner with. Many of these agencies try and confuse you with technical jargon, basically speaking “geek” that you do not understand. Continue reading to find out how to choose the right SEO agency for your business.

What are SEO Agencies?

SEO agencies are digital marketing agencies specialising in search engine optimisation (SEO). They are dedicated to helping businesses improve their visibility in search results, using effective, white hat, and ethical SEO tools, techniques, and strategies. SEO requires a multi-faceted and complex approach, resulting in these agencies having an in-house team of professionals in various disciplines, including content marketing, technical optimisation, link building, online reputation management, and more.

Why is it Beneficial to Hire a SEO Agency?

You may be wondering why you should partner with a SEO agency when you can find the fundamentals of SEO online. With information freely available, why outsource this function, when you could do it yourself? SEO agencies are experts in the field of search engine optimisation, offering the following benefits:

  1. Stay updated with the latest SEO trends and updates
  2. They do the hard work so you can focus on your business 
  3. SEO agencies offer a complete digital marketing approach aligned to your business goals

How to Choose the Right SEO Agency for Your Business 

You have decided it's best to hire a SEO agency rather than trying to navigate SEO on your own, while juggling a busy business. We have put together five things to look for when choosing the right SEO agency for your business, including:

Realistic Expectations

One thing you can be sure of when it comes to SEO is that it is not guaranteed. The results you gain from an effective SEO strategy are earned. They produce organic (free) website traffic. You cannot buy your ranking in search results, you need to earn it through effective, white hat, and ethical techniques that align with SEO best practices.

If you speak to a SEO agency that guarantees you a first placement on Google within the first few days, this is a red flag. No agency can make this guarantee. Rather work with an agency that is honest and transparent, upfront about what they can help you achieve. 

Remember, SEO is a long-term strategy, it is not an overnight success story. It can take months to see results.

Proven Track Record

The best SEO agencies may not be able to guarantee you the first position in Google results, but they should be able to share their past experiences and successes with you. This is often see through case studies provided on their website, or through customer testimonials and ratings. 

They Do Not Talk “Geek”

Many companies decide not to hire a SEO agency because the entire process sounds complicated and confusing. Some agencies take advantage of this, ensuring that they are understood, speaking plan English, avoiding technical jargon, and they do not talk “geek.”

Always choose a SEO agency that can explain SEO to you in plain terms you understand, so you know what you are paying for.

White Hat and Ethical Techniques

Black hat SEO is frowned upon in the digital marketing world, by marketers, search engines, and your audience. This is when the agency uses keyword stuffing to manipulate search engine algorithms to secure a higher ranking, rather than solving the users problems and addressing their pain points. 

White hat and ethical techniques, on the other hand, involve producing helpful and valuable content, using keywords naturally in the content, and acquiring high quality back links. 

Understand What You Want to Achieve

Every business is unique and so are your digital marketing goals. A good SEO agency will understand your goals and align the strategy to meet your goals and audience. 

Conclusion

Choosing the right SEO agency for your business can be a daunting experience, it's more than simply finding an agency that has good SEO experience and techniques. It's find an honest, transparent, and open agency that provide clear and easy to understand communication, understanding your business goals, and partnering with you to help you achieve online success.
