How to Find the Right SEO Company for Your Business (A Genuine Tip 🤍)

Hey, I’m Pari — I run a digital agency. But this blog isn’t about me or trying to sell you anything. It’s just a real, honest tip I’ve learned after working with dozens of clients who’ve been burned by the wrong SEO choices.

If you’re trying to grow your business online, choosing the right SEO company is one of the most important decisions you’ll make. But with so many companies claiming to be “the best,” how do you actually know who’s worth your time, trust, and money?

Let me walk you through a simple, powerful method that works:

 Step 1: Search Like a Customer Would

Go to Google and search for:
SEO + Your Location
For example:
 SEO Rotorua
You’ll see some ads at the top — ignore those. Ads are paid placements and don’t necessarily reflect expertise.

What you want to look at is the organic search results below the ads.

Why?
Because those businesses ranked on page one without paying for it — they did it with their SEO skills. That means they can likely help you do the same.

 Step 2: Reach Out to a Few of Them

Pick 2–3 businesses from the organic list and get in touch.

Now, don’t just go with the cheapest or flashiest quote. Here’s what you should pay attention to:

• Who responds first?
• Who asks about your business goals?
• Who actually listens to your needs?
• Who communicates clearly and respectfully?

That first response can tell you a lot about how the entire relationship will go.

 What You Shouldn’t Do

Please don’t ask for SEO recommendations in Facebook groups.
Why?

Because here’s what usually happens:
You’ll get dozens of comments from people tagging their friend, cousin, or a random freelancer — and suddenly you’re overwhelmed by 40+ suggestions with no clue who’s legit.

It ends up being more confusing than helpful.
This is SEO — it’s about Google visibility.
So trust the search engine.
If a company can’t rank themselves, they probably can’t rank you either.

 Final Thoughts (From Someone Who’s Seen It All)

Too many business owners come to me after being let down — over-promised, under-delivered, and ignored once payment is made. And it hurts to see that.

That’s why I’m sharing this. Not to get your business, but to help you avoid those mistakes altogether.

You’ve worked hard to build your business. Make sure the people you bring in care just as much as you do.

You deserve a partner who:

• Communicates clearly
• Supports your vision
• And actually knows how SEO works

I hope this helps someone make a more confident, informed decision.
