Top Utah SEO Firms

In my preview review of best SEO firms, I had written about Dallas SEO firms. Now, I want to continue with my selected list of Utah SEO firms.

97th Floor : This particular Utah SEO firm deserves to be listed on #1 place because of their excellent achievement of PR 6 Google Page Rank and high Alexa ranking around 90,000 (by July 2009). I especially evaluate SEO firms according to these two important factors since a successful SEO company should prove first with their own websites. Anyway, their main professional fields are organic search engine optimization, company reputation management and social media marketing. You can check their clients list and SEO tag cloud (a list of keywords they rank well in search engine results) at their website.

Social Community : There is an informative blog with interesting articles but I think they should update more.

Request Free Quote : There is a form to send proposal but it is not obvious that it is a free quote or not.

Company Website Design : Professional clean design and easy navigation.

MWI : Having a nice Google Pr 4 and 300,000 Alexa ranking, this company operates since 1999 in SEO, Web design and Search Engine Marketing fields. MWI company clearly states its pricing policy on their website. For example, their SEO solution starts from $2,000 monthly. They also provide SEM with typical monthly prices of $750 to $1,500 and website design starting from $15,000. I think SEO price is competitive but personally think that $15,000 for a website design is expensive without a database driven system.

Social Community : A blog exists but this is also rarely updated. I think SEO companies should communicate more with clients using blogs.

Request Free SEO Quote : Yes

Website Design : Very attractive and clearly reflects what they can offer to potential clients

Utah Web Services : UWS firm operates in a wide range of services including SEO, SEM (Search Engine Marketing), Web design, Database programming, SEO content writing, reputation management and blogging. Their website has Google Page rank 4 and Alexa rating 300,000. They have also a nice client and portfolio list. I liked the seperate section of SEO case studies. You can see the keywords they achieved to put to top search engine results.

Social Connection : A blog which is rarely updated as well.

Free SEO Proposal : There is a form to contact them.

Website Design : Interactive and informative. I would prefer a more fresh look but still it is professional.

Top 10 Things to Learn from SEO Firms Before Making a Decision

These are the vital questions which you should get reasonable answers from SEO companies before spending money.

  1. Can you show me please successful examples from your previous SEO work?

  2. How long have you been in SEO business?

  3. Can I see a list of your satisfied clients and is it possible to take recommendation from them? They sure have also dissatisfied clients. If they don't hide them, it is a good sign as well for honesty.

  4. Can I be sure that you will perform only white hat SEO techniques? Did your SEO work have taken penalties from major search engines?

  5. Can you give guarantee for the application of Major Search Engine guidelines including Google, Yahoo, MSN, Bing etc.? It is especially important against penalties from search engines.

  6. Can you give detailed information about SEO techniques which you will apply? If you get vague answers, it is better to look for another company.

  7. Will you provide feedbacks about SEO progress, how often?

  8. Any unresolved issues with the Better Business Bureau?

  9. Do you guarantee a #1 position in at least one of the search engines for a selected keyword? Will they approve the relevancy of your website to the competitors? Please, note that major search engines use relevancy based black box algorithms and no one can give an exact guarantee for #1 in SERPs. If they do, you should better suspicious to their proposal and activities. Aim relevancy optimization and tell them clearly.

  10. Ask if there are setup or monthly maintenance fees? Learn all the details of service, because you could be paying for no SEO maintenance tasks at all.
