Orange County has a lot of SEO agencies, so how can you know which one to pick? We suggest you do your research before making a decision because the wrong SEO agency can end up damaging more than your wallet\u2014they can damage your reputation online and your relationship with Google.<\/span><\/p>\n

However this article isn\u2019t meant to scare you or to shame the companies that bring our industry down. We simply want to arm you with the knowledge you need to make the right investment. The following are three things you should look for in any <\/span>Orange County SEO agency<\/span><\/a> you decide to work with.<\/span><\/p>\n

1. They Can Explain <\/span>How<\/span><\/i> They Will Improve Your Rankings<\/span><\/h2>\n

There are two reasons that an SEO agency would not want to explain how they will improve your rankings:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. They don\u2019t know what they\u2019re doing.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. They\u2019re using methods that are illegal or risky.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    A good SEO firm will gladly explain the process to you, so you know exactly what services you are getting for your investment.<\/span><\/p>\n

    2. They Follow Google\u2019s Webmaster Guidelines<\/span><\/h2>\n

    Google has a list of <\/span>webmaster guidelines<\/span><\/a> that clearly explains what we can and can\u2019t do to try to get our websites to move up the search engine rankings. If we refuse to play by Google\u2019s rules, they\u2019ll remove our websites from their search engine in a heartbeat.<\/span><\/p>\n

    This presents a conflict of interest for SEO agencies, because playing by the rules takes more time to see results. By taking shortcuts and using \u201cblack hat\u201d techniques, SEO agencies can get better results for their clients and make more money. The problem is that when Google finds out (and they always do, eventually) it\u2019s the client that suffers, not the SEO agency.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Make sure that the SEO agency you choose only uses \u201cwhite hat\u201d SEO methods and be wary of companies that guarantee top rankings within weeks, instead of months.<\/span><\/p>\n

    3. They Have Proven Results<\/span><\/h2>\n

    SEO is one of the most-debated marketing strategies that you\u2019ll find. Everyone thinks they\u2019re an expert on SEO, but very few have the results to prove it.<\/span><\/p>\n

    A good Orange County SEO agency will have case studies<\/span><\/a> that show real-world results from their work. Of course, there are the exceptions where a new agency might in fact know what they\u2019re doing, but they don\u2019t have the case studies to prove it. Then again, they might not. Do you really want to take the risk of being their guinea pig?<\/span><\/p>\n

    Go with an SEO agency that has proven results and you\u2019ll dramatically lower your risk of getting burned.<\/span><\/p>\n
