20 Reputable SEO Firms to Consider

by Bill H.

SEO firms are in the business of getting websites to the top of the search engines results pages. Countless SEO firms have sprung up in the last few years but choosing the right one for your e-commerce site is a big responsibility. You need to make sure you are getting the best business advice for your company and that you are spending your money wisely.

We’ve provided a list of SEO firms with expertise in optimizing e-commerce sites.  We’ve provided some descriptions, listed some of their clients, and also provided a range of their monthly fees.

Be Advised: This is not a list of SEO’s that we are recommending that you use.  You should carefully consider any SEO firm before hiring them.  Certain SEO firms have given the entire SEO community somewhat of a bad reputation with their sleazy tactics.  Admittedly, SEO’s in general have become known as the “new lawyers of the Web” – getting rich by collecting exorbitant fees regardless of any positive outcome.

But as website owners, we can’t let a few bad apples ruin it for everyone.   Undoubtedly, there are a few very skilled and highly respected SEO companies out there that can help improve your search engine rankings over time but you have to do your research and your homework.  Ask lots of questions and ask others for referrals.  Regardless, any SEO firm that you consider should have specific expertise with respect to your category of business.  There is not a one-size-fits-all SEO firm.

Remember, just because a firm is more expensive DOES NOT mean that they will provide a better service.  (This list is provided in alphabetical order and is not ranked from best to worst.)

In SEO marketing you target those users who are already searching for your product or service. Therefore success rate of SEO marketing is higher as compared to other marketing mediums.

When searching for the company always knows if they are capable of giving you the services that you need. You can try checking the reviews of the people who have tried their services. You can also do your own research and know the background of the company. This can be your way to know if they have the right experience and they know the subject well enough.

Although there are wide discrepancies over what percentage of search each company gets, Google receives between four to twenty times more search traffic than Microsoft and three to five times more search traffic than Yahoo, combined and assuming no market disruption– the two companies would still only generate one fourth to one half the search business of Google.
