Since not a lot of people truly know and understand everything about search engine optimization in order to be able to use it effectively in improving their site's search engine ranking, a lot of people would be better off hiring an SEO company to do it for them. What is unfortunate, however, is that the world of SEO is not safe from scammers, especially since not a lot of people know enough about it to be able to become aware of such scams. It is important to remember that not all SEO companies are legitimate, and some of them exist because they intend to prey on unsuspecting victims that may need some help regarding search engine optimization.

But due to the sheer number of SEO companies out there, it is difficult to pinpoint which ones are real, and which ones are not. Fortunately, there are ways wherein we can identify a scam SEO company. One way of identifying if an SEO company is real or is just a scam is by looking at how they market or advertise their services. Real, and successful, SEO companies do not need to employ certain means, such as cold-calling or mass-emailing their abilities, in order to advertise their ability and success, which means that those that does, could probably be doing so in order to get you to hire them instead.

Others would even use other websites that are ranked high, and use it as proof of their abilities. You can check by doing a background check on the website indicated by looking at the source code, or you can also do a check on the company itself by searching for digital signatures on said websites, and if it matches with their company. You can also check their track record, and determine how long have they been around. You can even talk to their supposed clients and ask them about the services that the SEO Company has provided them.
