    How to tell if a SEO Rep is legit: SEO Rep Checklist

    I get spammed daily by people pretending to be SEO Experts.

    As a website developer I am alarmed at how little these people know yet how arrogant and boastful they can be.

    So I created a seo rep checklist for you!

    SEO Expert Checklist

    #1 Do they have a website?

    If their email address is gmail, yahoo, hotmail, etc… then they may not be legit.

    Free email is a scammers best friend!

    Look for an email from a business website like:

    Jose Juan Maldonado Search

     

    #2 Search Google for their website.

    Sounds simple but again you would be amazed at how many so called SEO Experts don’t have a website or you can’t even find them on a search engine.

    #3 Search for reviews their company.

    If they are in marketing then there should be a lot of stuff published with their name on it.

    #4 The most important part of SEO is your website.

    If they are legit they should look at your website for things like:

    sitemap.xml: (tells search engine’s the contents of your website)

    robots.txt: (tells search engine’s what is public and what is private on your website)

    Website Speed Test: How fast does your website load? Is it mobile friendly?

    Here are some tests to let you know how your website is doing:
