Why Seo Companies Can’t Make Guarantees

There are many SEO companies within the industry that I see that make Guarantees about getting your website to the top of the search engines. The only guarantee a SEO company can make you is that there is no guarantees. In this article I will discuss why this is the case and some things that should make you run away from an unethical SEO companies.

In truth the problem with SEO is that you are at the mercy of the search engines and they can change there algorithms at a drop of a hat. This can lead you website listings to take a nose dive. The search engines are always improving how they return results as they want to serve the most relevant results for your search query. One thing that hinders search engines is spammy unethical practices by website owners and even some SEO companies. It is not good enough for a SEO company to say that they are ethical they need to back this up by giving you evidence on how they will optimise your website. If a SEO company does follow unethical practices then it’s your business that will suffer because of it.

Here are some things if you hear a SEO company say that should set alarm bells ringing.

1. Will guarantee you first page positions.
2. We will submit your website to hundreds of search engines.
3. We will focus on increasing your PageRank.
4. We have a special relationship with the search engines.
5. We optimise for SEO 2.0

If a SEO company always follows the search engine guidelines this will maker you website future proof as the SEO services that you will receive will never loose favour. If you follow unethical methods you may get some good results but it is just a matter of time before the search engines click onto this and you rankings and traffic will take a nose dive.

In review you should read Goggles webmasters guidelines and come armed with this information when you speak to an SEO company. If a company is not forthcoming with what they will actually do to increase your visibility then don’t use them. If they have nothing to hide then they will tell you exactly how they operate. I must say the industry as a whole is mostly full of ethical companies; however the few give the many a bad name.
