As with any online business it is a good idea to check out carefully ANY SEO firm you intend to do business with.
My favorite check is to view their rankings for the keywords in their homepage title.
If they can't get rankings for themselves after being in business for sometime, they are suspect IMO.

A fair assessment Mel, but not totally correct. We, the same as Janeth give our customers back 100% of thier money if we fail with our gurantee. However as for our own website, we only really appear for localised key phrases, as apposed to our customers who we generate top 10-20 positions for, no matter whether its a competitive National or Globally targetted key phrase - the simple fact of the matter is, we dont get time to optimise our own site due the fact that we are always optimising someone else's :) - If a potential client asks us for references or indeed results, this is not a problem as we can supply this information --- one of our optimised websites fluctuates between position 4 and 7 in Google for a *single word* with over (currently) 200,000,000 websites. (please note: the competition for the single word fluctuates between 90 and 200 million competing websites) - so as you can see, checking the results of an
SEO is not always the best way to find out whether they are any good or not -
Note to potential
SEO users:

I recommend that the only safe to choose an
SEO is to make sure it's written into the job contract that you receive the money back if an
SEO fails to meet their targets guaranteed in the original proposal or, you ask for references and results from recent work (if you ask for results make sure the
SEO supplies you with a list of key phrases that are competive)
