In recent years, many new companies have mushroomed, providing cost effective SEO services to their clients. But with this galaxy of SEO companies, can your really tell who are authentic and who are not?

Before you make a decision that you need a SEO company/firm to help optimize your website/blog, first you need to do a study analysis yourself:

1. The background/history of the SEO companies/firms providing the SEO services.

2. The costing for keywords from the SEO companies/firms (including the timescale).

3. The techniques these SEO companies/firms would be using to promote your website/blog through SEO channel. Some companies state that they have mastered the secret techniques, and hence cannot reveal their techniques. But sometimes these "secret techniques" can prove to be just a damp squib.

4. The detailed flowchart of the entire exercise, which a SEO company/firm would choose to achieve top rankings. In this flowchart nothing should be hidden from clients.

Even though you've pass on the duties to optimize your website/blog to "someone else". It is always good to ask questions and find out more. For example:

- Which keywords to choose?
- What will be time for which rankings will be achieved?
- What rough rankings it will achieve in Google, Yahoo, MSN, and other search engines?
- Writing down your SEO budget for PPC, and organic search engine optimization carefully.
- What will be cost for PPC campaigns?

All these above factors will help you to better understand your project, and also the SEO company/firm you've choosen.
