Choosing an SEO agency

Is this the place to find an SEO agency?
We are a car leasing company based in the UK and need an SEO agency to help us rank in a very competitive market. We have a relatively small budget of £2500 - £4000 per month. I appreciate this not a massive budget but that is where we are at.Any input would be much appreciated.

Hi John,
If you click on my name, then press "Private Message This User", then in the top right corner press "Inbox".

I am sure I am missing the obvious here but how do I see private messages that have been sent to me?
-
Click on the person who you would like to message. On the left hand side there is a button which says "Private Message This User".
Once you have clicked that it will open a new message form or from the top right corner of that screen you can even see your inbox etc.

Hi John,
A PM is a private message, you can send them through the SEOMoz system.

Hi John,
Carla hit the nail on the head here. Regardless of where you source a company, ensure that you rigorously interview the company. Always ask for references you can call. Ask for case studies if they have them.
Your brand is on the line in online marketing and you need to ensure that you are protecting it by hiring a qualified and professional online company that serves your brand and doesn't hurt it.
Wish you the best of luck,
Todd

Hi John,
Moz is a great place to find agencies in my opinion. When choosing and agency, here are some tips
- Ask to see their portfolio and success cases
- Choose a White Hat company. There is such a thing as black hat SEO and you don't want to go down this road.
- Ask to their latest work and how they go the site ranked.
- Call their clients to see if their clients are happy
- Don't choose the cheapest agency. Choose the most responsible one.
Good Luck
Carla

Tom is right, the SEOMoz recommendations list is a good place to start. There are also some really good consultants and agencies who are active in the Q&A who will be able to help you too.
-
In addition to the Moz recommended list, let me just add that SEO is not a secret sauce. While every SEO will have some tricks and such, be sure you know what they're doing on your behalf and why, or you may be paying someone else to fix the bad SEO done by the first firm.

Hi John
Moz does provide a recommended companies list with a number of those companies listed being UK based.
Also going to shoot you a PM, if you don't mind.

Pre Launch New Website SEO Best Practices
Hi All, I am currently mid development of a website (no testing page yet) and want to make sure I am doing my due diligence in regards to SEO. Are there best practices to always complete while a website is being built? If so what are they? I've gotten to the stage where I've read every blog on the planet and now maybe too much info. I am also focusing my Keyword Analysis around competitor research to write great copy from, but seem to be falling down a rabbit hole of way too many keywords. Is there agencies/services that would just be hired to do Keyword Research for my needs? Thanks a lot!

Technorati - SEO Benefit?
Would listing my content / blogs on Technorati have an SEO benefit? A few months ago, I did a piece of analysis on our competitiors' link profiles and then ranked the linking root domains to get the highest scores. Technorati was one of the domains with a high domain authority and is also relevant to our business. On the other hand, I've seen on whiteboard Friday's that directories are losing their importance. My gut feeling is that this is something that is worth doing because it is easy to implement but that we shouldn't expect amazing returns in terms of traffic / page authority scores. Your opinions would be much appreciated 🙂

Is there an SEO benefit to purchasing domains for a website?
Greetings Mozzers, I wanted to see if someone could clarify the power of domains for me a bit. Is there an SEO benefit in purchasing fresh domains for a specific website? Something that would effect certain metrics like parking keyword domains to pages that target that keyword? I'm not talking about buying pre-existing domains that have value and are for sale. I'm talking about newly registered domains. Thanks for any advice/clarification.

I must be tripping. How is this site ranking for the term "SEO Company"??????
When I go to Google non-custom search results and search the term: seo company The website "greencowseo.com" is ranked 3rd. OpenSiteSearch shows nothing. And get this... the domain was registered 14 days ago by somebody in Egypt. Do I need to quit my SEO Moz membership and hire this guy? 🙂

Our site being outranked by competitors with lower "moz" scores - due to on-page SEO?
Howdy, Our SEO efforts are doing well, but for a few keywords it seems we cannot budge one of the competitors sitting in spot #1. Through some competitive analysis I've noticed that our website has a much higher mozRank with regards to both page and domain compared to the current #1 spot. My question is what kind of factors could be the issue as to why we are still being outranked. Is it simply a case of poor on-page SEO at this point or should I be taking the mozRanks with a grain of salt.

I would like a good SEO company
Hi, I know this must be a repeated question but I would like to have an SEO company that would take care of getting my site on the top three pages of google and I would like some advice over my website. I have been investing in link building for a month now but I think my meta tag might not be the most appropriate, i should probably have various and came across your website. I have found zero negative feed back on your company, I run other business but this is my first online experience and don't have the time to give it the SEO so with that in mind I would like to know what SEO packages would you recommend for my business and in what time would I be seeing page ranks in google bing and yahoo. I hope you can help me out, I'm a newbie at this and my online business is interesting and want to see it already operating my website is sheep buy.com, concept is people can sell for free, not just post an item like a classified site but actually sell for free through paypal and we don't charge a fee, so would really want some insight. Hope you can help me out. Beat regards Jerry
