What is IMO? Who can gurantee that SEO professionals will be able to rank keywords with in three month?

In My Opinion

 

Well someone who does it for a living is going to get better results and faster than if you do it yourself when you don't know what you're doing!

If you intend to do it yourself it is a steep learning curve. If you have a large car business and you think the site will provide an income stream then invest in a reputable local SEO/SEM company.

It's simple enough. Make sure you draw up a proper agreement that states exactly what they will do. Ensure all the objectives are measurable and within a timescale. Clearly set out in the agreement what happens if the optimisers fail to achieve what they say they will e.g. reduced fees.

 

This is the way we run our SEO services and we find it benefits both us and the customer because the customer knows exactly what to expect and by when. This minimises any frustration, results in happy customers and plenty of referrals for us.

I will use the example of a wedding shop in Belfast called bridal boutique. They want to appear high up when the term bridal shop Belfast is typed in Google.

Page Title: Bridal Boutique Wedding Shop | Belfast | Northern Ireland

Meta Description: “Bridal Boutique is a wedding shop based in Belfast who specialise in creating beautiful wedding dresses for the brides of Northern Ireland”

Home page 1st Paragraph: Welcome to Bridal Boutique, Belfast’s favourite bridal shop.

Employing the techniques above will definitely help you on your way to Google domination.

First I'd make sure you've got an idea of what an SEO company (if you choose to employ one) should be doing for you. I wrote this (http://www.dxnx.co.uk/blog/20-what-is-search-engine-optimisation-seo.html) mainly as a resource for clients of mine to see roughly what the process entailed. If you're still thinking about doing it yourself then at the bottom of that page is a link to an excellent and very in depth guide introduction by SEOmoz which should put you on the right track.

 

gentlefoots advice is spot on, make sure you know what they will be doing and how you will measure it BUT, watch out out for any firm which guarantees you certain rankings, either they know something the rest of the world doesn't or they're going to be using some dodgy methods. These methods might get your rankings up short term but the odds of them lasting are pretty slim and the dodgy tactics often employed may get you banned.

 

Good luck!

Hi,

 

DXNX said it perfectly. You should do you homework and remember if it seems to good to be true.....

 

It is possible to do SEO yourself, but do you have the time to learn and what else could you be doing while someone else is opitimising your site, building links and assessing the traffic information to do more optimisation , link building and so the process carries on!

When you decide launching a new site and business over the net, attempt choosing the correct and really hot terms and the Google AdWords plus Wordtracker tools could be great. Also checking out the websites of your competitors and colleagues for learning of the words could be recommended.
