If you are like most of us you are building your network marketing business and working on MLM leads on a budget. Because of this there is one thing that we all need to remember, SEO is one of the surest and cheapest ways to do it. However, if you are thinking about hiring an SEO company, you need to read this.

There are a lot of people who aren’t familiar with SEO and what the benefits are. Even if one knows about SEO, if they’re considering hiring a company to do it for them (instead of learning how to do it themselves), they may not know who is legitimate and can actually get the job done. Finding an SEO company can be a big deal. Some SEO companies say they can guarantee a #1 placement on Google. But how are you sure you are getting a legitimate SEO company?

Boasting of a #1 Google placement:
If anyone says they can get your website in the top ranking position on Google, don’t even bother. They’re just out to mislead you and rip you off. Even though there are techniques that can lead to better page rank, Google’s algorithms are a secret and no one can guarantee #1 placement. SEO companies can use optimization techniques that are widely known and put in some hard work. The most that can be claimed is that they can obtain listing results in the top 10. However, be sure to check out their client satisfaction rating.

The prices seem too good:
Look at the scenario logically… If the work requires hours of time, it shouldn’t be too cheap. Usually, if it sounds too good to be true…it is.

Using shady techniques:
Some companies will recommend shady techniques to get higher rankings in search engines. Don’t do it! Many websites big and small have been greatly penalized for using shady techniques. As well, be sure as a website owner that you’re aware of what’s happening to your site and what steps are been taken to optimize and promote it.

The bottom line:
Deciding to use an SEO company can end up costing you more in the long run in the way of time, recourses and potential damage to the page rank results you already have. There are pages and pages of them if you search Google…and who knows which ones really deliver. A friend recently said to me “Submitting things to the almighty Google in a way to get good results means providing a worthy sacrifice… No sick or injured animals”.

The time spent searching around for legitimate SEO companies could be much better spent learning the correct techniques to just do it yourself…besides being cheaper. Yes…it will take some work and some time…but isn’t your success worth putting in the time and wouldn’t you rather be the one picking out what gets put before Google?
