There are two camps in the SEO world with respect to SEO money back guarantees
Camp 1- SEO Guarantees are not possible!
This camp believes that because Google is constantly tweaking their algorithm, no guarantees can be made. They are right, that nobody can guarantee specific ranking or guarantee to be #1 in Google. But, they wrong to state that page 1 of Google cannot be guaranteed. Page 1 normally has 10 organic listing, and achieving page 1 ranking requires the SEO company to displace just one the current website that are in one of the top 10 positions. This is what I will be doing for acne no more review website which promotes affiliate products in the skin care/acne niche.
Those who don’t believe they can give guarantees and the client should take the risk for their incompetence. I would contend that this camp is full of SEO firms with ready made excuses. They lack confidence in their ability because they don’t produce consistent results or don’t understand the Google game.
I am happy to give
Camp 2 – SEO Money Back Guarantee – can be given.
A SEO Money Back Guarantee can be given, because I strongly assert that SEO is like a science and works in a field of probabilities. Even though nothing is 100% certain; lacking a few degrees of certainty doesn’t mean you can’t give guarantees. If you have to be 100% certain before you do anything that would invalidate every guarantee that has every been given.
At the end of the day, the client will choose (acne treatments reviews made good choice) , but they are prevented from making sensible choices because of the peddling of misconceptions and excuses why guarantees can’t be given. In general, I believe the standard most SEO companies is poor. It is full of people who think they know SEO but are not professionally competent. I am doing my bit to raise the bar. I only wish others would too, rather that giving weak excuses.
More recently, with Google Panda algorithm updates ranking eCommerce sites have become difficult. I now require all websites to complete all on page SEO changes I specify before I begin my work. This is because, Google is penalizing websites which would negate my backlink efforts.
i would try a seo (search engine optimization) company. Please make sure you check out all of their references and examples of work first. Then see what new kinds of strategies they are doing, if they give you the same 10 steps that all of the other seo companies have then they probably aren’t any good. Also check to see how competitive their prices are, some where in the range of $500 to $1000, if they are cheaper than that then it’s probable not worth it. I used a company located in phoenix and I had great success in improving my business and online exposure.
The name of the company was DNA Webmarketing,
Is this guarantee for any keyword(s) of the customers choosing?
You can choose any keyword. However, every keyword is like running a separate race which can be easy or hard to win depending on the strength of the competition. After, analysis I will determine whether I can achieve page 1 results within 90 days. If I am not confident I can, I will decline the job or suggest other keywords I can.
Sound advice.
Sorry, you would be completely wrong. Google themselves state the following:
“No one can guarantee a #1 ranking on Google. Beware of SEO’s that claim to guarantee rankings.”
Your misunderstanding is common – I do not promise No 1 in Google but PAGE 1 in Google. In other words in the top 10. I do this, because I want to shift the risk from the customer to the SEO’er. After all, we SEO are the experts and should carry the risk not you!
Furthermore, I believe there are too many SEO companies who get of the hook by not promising anything. Believe me, I would prefer not to work with a guarantee it would make my life easier. Guarantees, sets a standard for me that makes me perform consistently at a high level.
You have a common misunderstanding – I am guaranteeing PAGE 1 (one of the top 10 positions) NOT position 1. Beware of people with this common misunderstanding.
You have common misunderstanding – I guarantee top 10 not position #1. Any SEO company that knows its stuff should be able to achieve that or refuse the contract.
