How to Find the Best SEO Service for Small Business?

When looking to take up SEO services, it is important to understand the SEO practices of an agency.  What do we mean by this?

SEO has been around for a number of years, in the earlier less defined years, some tactics that were being used by agencies, known as black hat, enabled a business to achieve high site rankings quickly across search engines with the use of spam tactics such as keyword stuffing, link building with the use of link farms. Today the use of these tactics can result in a fine or the removal of your website from search results.

The evaluation of the practices that an SEO agency uses should form a cornerstone in your decision-making process, as such it’s best to work with agencies that utilise white hat tactics.

SEO ranking is a long game, and you may not necessarily see results immediately, this is perfectly fine. An agency that works to webmaster guidelines and practices, should take their time to build your SEO authority.

The reason for this is that search engines will review and index web pages over some time. Depending on the competitive nature of your field and the keywords you would like to rank for, you could be looking at anything between a few months to over a year to see significant results.

Another important criteria when selecting an SEO agency is to understand their recalibration/optimization processes to improve speed, SEO technical improvements, and user experience.
