You can loot on the few high ranking website. If the site is not your competitor you can ask them to tell you which is the SEO company used by they.

I think the problem with the approach of looking for top ranking sites and approaching the owners, is that good search engine positioning (today) is no guarantee of great SEO.

That may sound a little counter-intuitive, but I'll explain...

...some pretty poor SEO companies are able to quickly get results for clients. But, depending on the methods that they're using, those results may not be sustained. They may rely, for example, on bulk buying links to gain positioning. That may work well, for a period of time. But when they are eventually penalised and lose positions for their clients, are they still a good SEO company?

One of the great problems with the industry is the inability to compare providers. It's often hard to know who you are really dealing with.

I'll add: Review the Webmaster Guidelines for each major search engine/directory yourself. They are pretty much the same with some exceptions. You could start with the Google Webmaster Guidelines and go from there.

There are certain things you need to take care of while searching for any SEO service provider company. They are:-
1. Look on past project completed by that particular company. Try to contact the persons whose project the said company has completed. Communicate with them for taking suggestion whether to hire this company’s services for your project or not.
2. Focus on what they are offering to you on their packages. Some company offers their services by saying or advertising like "Guaranteed result" or "Guaranteed service". Always remember SEO is not a guarantee kind of business. So, be careful on the sayings of service providers.
3. It is a good idea to learn something about SEO; it is because if you would know a little bit than you might better analyze the progress of your project.

Apart from this it is also important to look on some other factor such as your market competition, your budget for SEO, your goal etc. Always do some research before taking decision for hiring any particular service provider.
