All new website owners are anxious to get new business and have great expectations for quick success. Our job as developers and SEO professionals is not only to develop the site, but to also explain the Search Engine Optimization process honestly and without building up hopes which may be unrealistic. Unfortunately, they have seen online ads which promise the moon and stars.
How to recognize SEO Scams:
Many SEO companies advertise grand schemes to drive traffic to the site. Before turning over your hard-earned money, it is best to check out their credibility. Ask for references of others who have used the service and contact them for reviews. Know what to expect and when to expect it.
Please remember that legitimate SEO companies don’t send email solicitations. If you did not sign up to receive email solicitations, you can consider this email a scam and delete it.
Do not open and don’t forward these scam emails to others in your circle. Here are a few scams you might recognize:
- “I just looked at your website and we can get you better placement.”
- “We performed a free analysis of your website and we can help you”
- “We were browsing your website and noticed your site did not rank well for keywords related to your domain name”
