5 Questions to Ask When Hiring an SEO Specialist

17 May, 2008 5:22 pm | Posted by Ben Norman

The five most important questions i think you need to ask when looking for a seo specialist are:

  1. What achievements / accreditations do you have? (any good seo specialist will have a few accreditations maybe a book regular spot on an authority site)
  2. Who have you worked with, what results have you achieved for them and can i talk to them? (if you cant see any past results or talk to clients be very wary)
  3. What search terms do your site rank for? (a top search specialist will be able to compete on a global stage and compete with other specialist and this is a good test to see how they really are)
  4. Do you offer any guarantees? (if they say yes hang up there are no guarantees as its up to the search engines refer to there history or achievements)
  5. When should i start seeing some results? (you should look to see improvements within a month but you will need to be patient as it can take a long time to achieve top placements for very competitive terms)

Very basic, but essential and if you ask the above questions you are more likely to make the right decision and hire a good SEO Specialist.

Getting Noticed on Google

15 May, 2008 6:08 pm | Posted by Ben Norman

The world is Google! Well not quite but it is very much getting that way. It seems more and more often now when I talk to people they don’t seem to talk about getting their website noticed on the Internet the interest is getting their website noticed on Google.

While this is quite short sighted in my opinion as at any point the tables can turn I do understand why, after all over 70% of search engine share is currently controlled by Google.

So how do you get in on the action? well you need to get marketing your website the the search engines. The decision you have to make is do you want to do it yourself? in which case there are various different methods a good book, YouTube or just good forums. Or if you dont have time to do it yourself you can hire a professional like me to do the hard work for you.

So the choice is yours how do you want to get noticed on Google?
