Donna is taking it slow after "Katrina", but still: most - if not all - SEO's on that list are highly reputable. It's just that some might be more willing to take on new clients than others... for various reasons.

The price ranges seem to be all over the chart, how do I know what is worth paying for? Very confused.

We would welcome PM's with more information from any of you Pro's.

email me at rod@spheri.ca with your website url and your desirable budget.

I'll take a look and give you a better idea who to contact.

Unfortunately, I have too many other projects on the go so likely cannot assist directly.

Hi Dapperman. My company has taken on a lot of clients that have been burned by other SEO companies in the past. The SEO company you choose should straightforward and upfront about what they can and cannot do. Also be sure that you have a direct line to someone in the company who can answer any questions you may have along the way. I'd would be happy to help you if you're interested. Not sure if I can post a link here or not so just send me a private message. At the very least I can give you some free advice on what to look for and what to avoid in an seo company.

If you are still researching and accepting quotes, I would be interested in speaking with you further. I am an account manager with an SEO company that has been in business for seven years. I will furnish references and a quote.

Hire someone local

Although I've got clients in Italy, USA and elwhere I'd always recommend hiring someone local if you can. Certainly someone with demonstrable experience in your or a related industry.
