So you hired a local SEO consultant. Now what?
Look for a SEO consultant with experience in your industry and ask for a research report and examples of previous success.

Ask yourself if the service you are buying is really what you are looking for and how much you can afford. Also think carefully about how you are going to measure the results. Above all do not be persuaded into hiring search engine marketing services on a whim. Lastly, be realistic about your marketing budget.
