Miami SEO Agency Shares Important Comparison Tips for Webmasters Searching for Affordable SEO Services

According to Affordable SEO, a Miami-based search engine optimization company, too many business owners and webmasters hire the first cheap SEO company they stumble across, which can be disastrous. As the agency points out, the SEO industry has plenty of scam artists, like any other industry, and business owners who aren't informed are in a position to be taken advantage of.

The agency shares the following questions business owners or webmasters should ask as they compare quotes from SEO agencies to find a reliable company that doesn't use trickery, false promises or downright shady practices that may cause serious damage to a website's ranking, integrity and reputation.

1. What are they promising?

According to Affordable SEO, the biggest red flag website owners should watch out for is an SEO agency that guarantees #1 rankings on Google or a certain increase in organic traffic. No company or individual may guarantee results from a search engine, and any company that makes false or over-the-top claims should be avoided.

2. Do they have recognizable clients?

As Affordable SEO points out, this is most applicable to business owners interested in local SEO services, as the company should have a track record of serving local clients. When asked, they should be able to quickly name several local and recognizable businesses, or local clients with sustainable organizations.

3. How have they changed tactics in response to Google algorithm updates?

Because Google's algorithm updates usually target web spam and black hat SEO tactics, business owners should be especially suspicious of companies that report drastic changes to their tactics because of search engine updates. Major changes in response indicates the company has been using shortcuts and gambling with their clients' reputations and the performance of their website.

4. Is the company transparent?

Finally, Affordable SEO points out that not all SEO agencies are transparent about the services they provide; some do not even give a clear plan of action to clients with goals or strategies. The agency explains that business owners should receive weekly progress reports documenting on-going effort, not sporadic or even monthly reports.

Affordable SEO strives to be Miami's most reliable and ethical search engine optimization agency and maintains good standing with the Better Business Bureau with no complaints filed. They offer a range of SEO services, which may be viewed online.
