Robert Loch, another fellow MFer, points us to this page on google.com where Google tells us all how to pick an SEO firm. Robert’s right when he says “Google - a company that really knows how to talk to its audience.” Google is all about class in my book.

They give these nine quick tips (with more information on their page):

• Be wary of SEO firms that send you email out of blue.
• No one can guarantee a #1 ranking on Google.
• Be careful if a company is secretive or won’t clearly explain what they intend to do.
• You should never have to link to an SEO.
• Some SEOs may try to sell you the ability to type keywords directly into the browser address bar.
• Choose wisely.
• Be sure to understand where the money goes.
• Talk to many SEOs, and ask other SEOs if they would recommend the firm you’re considering.
• Make sure you’re protected legally.

As well as tell people what to do if they think they’ve gotten scammed by an SEO firm.

Classy.

Once again, Google shows what a great company can and should do for its customers (even the ones that aren’t paying).
