The best seo agency for a small online business is one that understands small businesses and return on investment (ROI).
How to choose one? The plain fact is that there are very few excellent SEO companies but there are tens of thousands of SEO companies that advertise their poor quality services. It is an unregulated and relatively new industry in considerable demand, so this is not so surprising.
Good SEO companies are in great demand and the first thing NOT to do is use one that offers their services on Yahoo answers! No professional SEO that is any good has the time to solicit clients through such a medium or even needs to do so.
Here is the procedure I recommend.
Start by looking here http://www.seoconsultants.com/ which is about the nearest you can get to peer reviewed SEO consultants directory. Draw up a list of (say 10) companies whose web presence and spectrum of services meet with your approval.
Then make a simple initial approach to these companies and reduce the 10 to a short list of 3 or 4 based on the quality of their response (as you see it) and their understanding of your requirements.
Now interview the companies on your shortlist and include the following questions and requests:
1. Ask for 5+ references and current clients and make sure you follow them all up taking notes along the way.
2. What type of reporting will they provide?
3. Do they offer Return On Investment (ROI) analysis?
4. Can they assure you that the optimization strategies and methods used will be ethical and hence guarantee no penalties for your website?
5. Do they place a link on their clients sites to their site? If they do you can reject them right away.
6. Ask to see a sample contract. Check that it says 'what is' and 'what isn't' required on the clients part and also details what they say they will do.
7. How many hours will they put into working on your site?
8. Make sure you will not be 'ransomed' if you decide not to use them any more at some stage.
9. Do they outsource any of the work? If they do you can reject them right away.
10. What results can you expect and over what time scales?
Once you have the answers to these questions for the companies on your short list you will find making a correct choice quite straightforward.
One last comment. The best SEOs in the world work for themselves because they make more money that way and those that choose to have clients do not come cheap. You may find that your budget is such that you will have to do your own SEO. If that is the case then these are the two best resources for learning how on the web http://www.seo-blog.com/tutorial.php and http://www.seomoz.org/article/beginners-guide-to-search-engine-optimization

There is a new company that just came online that offers seo for small business at a very reasonable cost. They work with companies who are on a tight budget and cant afford major seo services.

Hi Dear, You spent on adwords that is why the outcome does now not remained with you. Actually adword will provide immediate and transitority outcome. You will acquire outcome until you're spending after which its not anything. You must instead choose SEO a good way to record your web page in google's best 10 outcome. After doing moral search engine optimisation routine your web page will undoubtedly get well site visitors and for that reason a well ROI. For session you'll seek advice from the web page hyperlink given. Its loose and I have already attempted it.

Small businesses, medium sized companies, and large corporations can all benefit from our various expert search engine consultation services. An honest firm will share the competition and provide details. If the pending relationship isn't a match, they might even refer you to another SEO firm. That isn't as common, however, unless a partnership or referral arrangement has already been established.

What is best for one client may not be best for you as every one has different criteria for selecting on a company.
So, to finalize the company that is BEST for you, you need to keep certain pointers in mind.
1- Try to enquire about their seo practices and their domain knowledge by asking them questions and evaluate their responses. Their response will expose their expertise in SEO.
2 - Try to see their portfolio of previous work and their keyword rankings. Concentrate the rankings for Google only unless you want rankings in MSN/Yahoo! (getting rankings is easy in both of these SEs.). Also ask for case studies on previous work and evaluate their effectiveness.
3- Also if they GUARANTEE YOU RESULTS, then you need to think TWICE before selecting them. The reason being Google being a 3rd party platform, no one is sure what will be their next move. So, betting on them for results is just plain foolishness.
4- Try to see what keywords that use for rankings. As sometimes keywords the site ranks on are not traffic getter or are too easy a task to rank the site on.
5- Be sure of they not using SPAM or Black-Hat techniques to rank your website as this may result in removal of your website from Google's SERPs.

it on your pages is considered the most important so be sure that the title has good keywords in it that folks actually search for. furthermore, you should exchange back links with someone. stop at a link exchange web-site and exchange your internet site name with a friend or relative elses. put a hyperlink to their website with yours and they will put yours on theres. just create a seperate page with simply just links.
