And for SEO companies, one of the most important portfolios is their website. Make sure to check if they regularly update its content particularly the blog part. Check for the quality of their articles and copies because for the most part, they will write articles on your behalf as part of content marketing strategy. 540 cm You also need to check if this company is being run by real people whose clients are real people too. Testimonials can be made by anyone. You can check-their client list and visit their clients' sites, call the offices and confirm if they are really working with that company and ask about the performance of their SEO campaigns. 510 cm 480 cm MEET THEM AT THEIR OFFICE Of course, you don't want to deal with a fly-by-night company.
