Be Excellent To Each Other

Anyone know of an SEO solution for a business website that isn't bullshit/smoke and mirrors/expensive.

I get these companies ring me up on an almost daily basis. When I question them they never have any actual answers. Seem like they are trying to flog me snake oil. I end up feeling like Alan Sugar speaking to an idiot contestant across the boardroom table! I ask direct questions, they evade and bullshit.

Any decent solutions out there or is it all fly by nights wanting a quick buck flogging nothing tangible?

Cheers.

Do a Google search, the ones that come near the top probably know what they're doing.

Isn't most SEO (search engine optimisation) dead now, and it's all about fraudulent social media manipulation rather than fraudulent google manipulation?

It might be even harder to find a legit company in a dying market. As the lying dicks tend to be the ones to survive.

Also it's kinda a weird question. "Can I find a professional liar, but one who won't lie to me".

This is it. One phoned me up offering a free report. I told him to send it and I'd contact them again if it made sense. This seemed reasonable but made the man unhappy. It seemed the free report could only be given to me at the same time as some kind of phone consultation. All smelled of bullshit to me.

Asked the guy who helps me with the database side of my site to give me a price back on optimising the site a bit. At least I know him.

It's all bullshit.

"Your URI must have a trailing /"

Give over, and they all disagree with each other anyway.

This is what I suspected. If when I speak to people they can't give me straight answers I get worried. And I've spoken to enough SEO companies on the phone to know that none of them can quantify what they are trying to sell me.

It's like someone saying to you "I could make you more attractive to the opposite sex" for you to give them a grand and them to hand you a hat.

Surely there are honest methods you can employ to try to promote your business and push your site up the results pages and there must be people out there who advise people on that. It's just that the term SEO has become associated with attempts to cheat and game the system.

Assuming the site wasn't built by a complete fucktard, your main focus should be on the content - that's the most important bit.
