Welcome back contractors! In this episode, we cover questions you should ask when searching for SEO companies/agencies and why SEO proposals are apples to oranges! We also discuss why each question is so important and help you understand how to get the most out of your SEO marketing budget.  

Tips:

• No two SEO packages are the same, so make sure you understand exactly what’s included.
• Higher pricing often reflects more comprehensive services, not unnecessary “fluff.”
• The right digital marketing partner for you depends on your business’ specific goals and needs.

Episode Highlights:

• Is keyword research included? Is it for just one focus keyword or a full strategy?
• How long will it take to see results? Do they allow time upfront for discovery and foundational setup?
• How are leads defined and reported? Are they inflated numbers or cleaned of spam and irrelevant contacts?
• Will I have a dedicated account manager? Or do they switch account managers frequently?
• To what extent do they provide website management services? Where's the line between SEO and web design needs?
• Ask for referrals, especially from clients in your industry to gauge real results.
