Hi everyone,

I’m exploring ways to improve my website’s search engine rankings and have been considering hiring a professional. I keep hearing mixed reviews about different services, so I wanted to get some firsthand insights.

How do you evaluate an SEO company before signing a contract? What metrics or results should I expect, and how long is reasonable to see improvements? I’m particularly interested in understanding the differences between long-term strategies versus quick fixes. Any experiences, recommendations, or red flags to watch out for would be really helpful.

Thanks in advance!
