I would like to add that for any company that is new to SEO and is evaluating potential SEO firms there are some critical questions to be asked. 1) How long has your company been in business? Be wary of new companies, companies with recent name changes, or that give vague answers to their history. 2) Can you give me at least 5 current clients who can attest to your SEO skills? Always check references! 3) Who will do the SEO on my site and what is their background? And the real proof is to visit the prospective provider's website to see what they offer. Next, VERY IMPORTANT, is to do search engine checks for their website for terms like "SEO company (their city)". If they can't get their own site ranked well you can't believe that they will do any better for you. The bottom line is verify everything that you are told. As with any industry there are a lot of salespeople that can talk-the-talk but they can't walk-the-walk so Buyer Beware! All are very valid points.

And the real proof is to visit the prospective provider’s website to see what they offer. Next, VERY IMPORTANT, is to do search engine checks for their website for terms like “SEO company (their city)”. If they can’t get their own site ranked well you can’t believe that they will do any better for you.

The bottom line is verify everything that you are told. As with any industry there are a lot of salespeople that can talk-the-talk but they can’t walk-the-walk so Buyer Beware!
