Needed: A SEO company review site You know what's missing in this world? A website where you can list an SEO company you've worked with and make a review of whether they did you any good. A bit like Tripadvisor, but called something like SEOadvisor. I can't think of another industry where you basically hand them ?1000s and they do stuff and they won't tell you anything but "Be patient, these things take months," and at the end of the year when nothing has happened, you don't get your money back. Actually I can think of another industry. It reminds me of homeopathic medicine. __________________ I remember when all this were fields, aye, and t'internet were nawght but a twinkle in Tim Berners-Lee's eye.

So I'm in for starting it...Anyone else?

Gawd, it would be brilliant. Those companies would really have to make a special effort to make a difference if they thought that future clients would be able to get access to their actual results. They've had it their own way long enough. __________________ I remember when all this were fields, aye, and t'internet were nawght but a twinkle in Tim Berners-Lee's eye.

I agree - we've had nothing but bad experiences with out-of-house SEO agencies. My friend asked me to look at the performance of his chosen out of house agency over a year. Ranking decreased, no change to on-page factors, I discovered just 2 new backlinks from less than credible websites and the chosen keyword they wanted to target had <10 traffic potential. All of this charged at ?2,000 per month, with an additional ?1,000 report summary per month. Wonderful. __________________ Need advice on Digital Marketing? Give me a shout!

There are so many cowboys out there. People Per Hour have reviews of work done - search for SEO and pick UK flags and read the reviews. Maybe that is a better option? __________________ I run Essex Portal - your gateway to business news, leisure and tourism in Essex.

In the world of SEO word of mouth is probably the most reliable. __________________ Cheap Psycho-Analysis- Poverty stricken genius

I can recommend a couple of good firms, although they will not be cheap. Both in the UK. __________________ I run Essex Portal - your gateway to business news, leisure and tourism in Essex.

Not sure it would work anyway, see if anyone can spot any genuine good reviews on the Review Center section below (bit like 'Where's Wally' but alot harder!): http://www.reviewcentre.com/products3098.html

I have never really looked at reviewcentre before. This is a funny example: http://www.reviewcentre.com/reviews187146.html#Reviews polar opposites. __________________ I run Essex Portal - your gateway to business news, leisure and tourism in Essex.
