I need help. I run a small business that is currently in dire need of me focusing more attention to it. This means that my SEO and Web design work would have to take a backseat.
Not a good idea right? So I am asking people here for recommendations on who they are using and what they are experiencing from these providers? Please post only authentic reviews 
I do not have the time and the leeway to sign up a wrong SEO company as well as a Web design company.
Unfortunately, most SEO firms out there aren’t providing honest and valuable services. The fact of the matter is that there’s no magic behind SEO, it’s just tedious work. The majority of SEO firms are outsourcing article writing and link building to low paid uneducated workers.
When I have overflow work and not enough staff I use a company called DataFlurry. Joel McLaughin is the owner and who I work with over there but I know he has additional staff to accept new clients. You may want to give them a call.
Regardless of where you go, be sure to check references and then ask for more information. You can never be too careful when searching for something like an SEO firm. It took me a long time to find Joel and now that I have I wouldn’t change for anything in the world.
I suggest to hire companies who offer both services. You should ask samples and references to ensure that your project will be taking cared of.
Good luck in finding the right one.

I would not go with any SEO company if anything i would work with a single person but still you need to do your research and check them out before doing any work with them.
I would agree. And the thing is, I think it’s the tediousness of the process that makes it more appealing for people to just go seek and SEO company without actually knowing what they are doing and why they are doing it. Most people contact SEO companies knowing only that they should be on number 1, but have no idea on the HOW. This is where shady SEO companies thrive
Its indeed a serious issue to find a better seo company since there are many who acclaim to achieve top ranking and fails in some months… I will recommend you using local seo companies or the one you can ask for refunds and if they fails…
Also prepare a strict NDA and Work-Contract…
I agree. Asking a local seo company that gives refund would be much better because when all else fails, you’re still not the loser. But I think, that would be your problem. It’s very hard to find company that offers refund.
