SEO FAQ: Guarantees

No SEO company can ethically guarantee specific placement or specific results when doing organic search engine optimization. No professional SEO expert can guarantee a significant improvement in your search engine ranking after implementation of their research and recommendations.

If you should choose to hire an SEO company or SEO expert to research and implement the search engine optimization on your website for you, please be aware that such guarantees are usually either lies, or come with a lot of fine-print. If you are absolutely guaranteed in writing for top ten results in search engines, it is most likely for extremely niche keywords that are rarely searched for by your target demographic.

If you plan on hiring someone to do your SEO for you, ask questions here about any "guarantees" you may have heard, and I (or someone else) will let you know if they're legit or not and why.

This process of learning how to do my own SEO through your guide has been the best money I have ever spent on this kind of thing. I have put in a lot of time into this process and only through the aid of your guide could I ever have accomplished this. My website used to be nowhere on search engine results, now my site shows up in the first pages of Google, Yahoo and Bing search engine results.

For everyone else: with a little time and dedication, I know that with the aid of this eBook, Search Engine Optimization: Do It Yourself, you will see results.
