Are you thinking of hiring a SEO company to increase your online visibility levels? Or do you already have an SEO provider, and want to see what they’re really doing for you? Well TriMark Solutions has come up with 10 questions for you to use to really drill into your SEO provider, their strategy, and their overall knowledge of the constantly evolving industry. So if you already have an SEO provider, get them on the phone, and go through this list. Or maybe you are in the process of finding the right SEO company for your business. These 10 questions should help make your decision much easier.


1. What are your SEO goals for my company?
2. What is the timeframe in which I can expect to see results?
3. What types of SEO strategy, methods, and tactics do you plan to use to increase my online presence?
4. What types of changes will you make to my website layout, design, and content?
5. Are these “Whitehat” SEO practices?
6. Do you use (or plan to use) any unethical “Blackhat” methods?
7. How do you measure results of my SEO campaign?
8. What types of reports will you provide me? How often?
9. Do you provide ongoing SEO or one time services? What types of ongoing services?
10. How can you ensure my site will not be blacklisted from search engines? What if it does?

Understandably, these questions only break the surface of any in-depth conversation you’d want to have with your SEO provider. However, these are a good basis, and you want to ensure that you at least ask these (as well as any relevant) follow-up questions.
Located in Raleigh, NC, TriMark Solutions is an industry leader in nationwide SEO and internet marketing services.
