7. They’re Expensive
They charge you a huge sum of money up front and then require a monthly fee as well to “maintain” rankings.
6. There’s No Guarantee
Most SEO firms will not guarantee anything. They only backup what they can do with examples, analysis, and the dreaded testimonial.
5. Anyone Can Claim To Be A SEO
It requires no formal education and since most are based through websites and not offices it’s easier to deceive clients. Set up a website, happen upon some rankings, and boom you’re a SEO.
4. Many SEO’s Live In The Past
Some that have high rankings under such popular terms as “seo” and “search engine optimization” are only there because of the age of their site. And since they have this false authority they keep on doing the same things they’ve been doing since the 90s. If a SEO offers to submit your site to 100s of search engines you know his or her time has past.
3. “Renting” Bad Links
They head to a link broker, find a high PR website of a similar topic, and they buy a link using your money. Only problem is that a lot of the time these sites have fake or false PR, they are spammy worthless sites, and or the link costs way more than it should. This is not the way to link build.
2. They Don’t Want You To Ever Hit The Top 5
If you get above 5 and thus into the top fold on the first page of the search results you’re targeting there’s a chance you’ll stop using there services. They inherently don’t want you to rank too high so that you keep paying them for eternity.
