Choosing between SEO companies in Birmingham
Search "seo company birmingham" and page one is a mix of established agencies, directories that rank agencies, and small keyword sites set up to catch the search. Some show prices, most do not, and only a few show results you can check.
The fairest way to compare SEO companies in Birmingham is to put the same questions to each one and ask for the answers in writing. What will you do in the first month? Who does it? What do I pay, including VAT? How do I leave? What does a monthly report look like?
We publish our answers on this site, so you can hold us to them. If another provider gives you better answers, you should go with them, and if you want a second opinion on a proposal you have received, the free audit is a good place to start. Our Birmingham SEO team will read it and tell you plainly what we think.

Questions to ask any SEO company
Eight questions, with what a good answer sounds like. Use them on us too.
What will you do in the first month?
A good answer is specific: an audit, a fix list in order of impact and the first pages to rewrite. Vague answers about "strategy" are a warning sign.
Who does the work?
You should know whether the people on the call are the people doing the work, and whether anything is passed to other firms.
What does it cost, with VAT?
A monthly figure and a clear note on VAT. If the price only appears after a long sales call, ask why.
How long is the contract?
Rolling monthly with a short notice period is common now. Twelve month lock-ins mostly protect the provider.
Which searches will you target?
Real terms your buyers use, with an idea of how many people search for them, not just your company name.
How will I know it is working?
Enquiries and sales first, rankings and traffic second. Ask to see a sample report before you sign.
How do you build links?
Outreach, useful content and local relationships. If the answer mentions networks, packages or guaranteed numbers of links, say no. Our link building services page shows how we do it.
What happens when I leave?
You keep everything: content, accounts, tracking and the Business Profile. Nothing should be held back.

What no SEO company can promise you
Nobody controls Google. Any company that guarantees first place, a set number of leads or results in a fortnight is guessing or misleading you. What a good SEO company can promise is the work itself: what will be done, when, and how you will see the effect.
Timescales depend on where you start. A Birmingham firm with an established site and a few reviews can see the map listing improve within two or three months. A new site in a crowded market such as dentists or solicitors usually needs six months or more before page one is realistic.
Results also depend on things outside SEO: how quickly you answer enquiries, your prices and the reviews your customers leave. We point these out in reports when they hold back results, because more visits are only useful if they turn into work.
