When should you get rid of your SEO agency?

SEO agencies and companies are popping our like mushrooms and you must be utter careful while selecting the right SEO agency for your website or business. A lot of SEO companies out there are mediocre and you may end up losing your money if you go with such companies.

Even if you have hired a SEO agency, you can get rid of the SEO agency or not renew your contract if they do not seem to meet certain factors which I have mentioned below. Feel free to comment if I have missed anything apart from the below given lists.

When the promised results are not met.
SEO is not a work whose results can be guaranteed, but a SEO agency can atleast provide a rough estimate of the expected results. If these rough estimates are not met even after a long time, then it would be better to go for a new SEO agency.

When you find out that the SEO agency is still persisting with the old fashioned SEO techniques.
Many SEO agency tries to stick on to the old fashioned SEO techniques without updating themselves and implementing the latest trends in SEO. This creates a dangerous situation for the client’s website and this should not be tolerated at all.

When you find out that your SEO agency is taking a huge amount as Fees for a low quality service.
You would not be having any issues to pay higher for your SEO campaigns if you are getting quality services and pretty decent results. But if your SEO agency is charging you a higher amount despite of all the low quality services, then it is high time to dump the agency.

When the reports are not being send by the SEO agency on a regular interval.
Reports are the main measurable material that helps you to track the progress of your SEO campaign. If these reports are not send on a regular basis, you would not be able to keep an eye on the SEO advancement and any SEO agency who hesitates to provide the reports shoud be replaced as soon as possible.

When your complaints and queries are not being addressed honestly.
As a client you would always have complaints and doubts regarding your sites Search engine performance.  You always have the right to as the SEO agency about your concerns and doubts. At the same time, the SEO agencies are atmost responsible to answer and clear your doubts and queries. So if your complaints and queries are not being addressed honestly, then there is no point in continuing with your current SEO agency

When you find out that they are using black hat SEO techniques.
It is always better to learn some basics of SEO to find out what the SEO agency is doing on your site. As per the major search engines sites which practice black hat SEO techniques are bound to be heavily punished and hence if you find out that your SEO agency is applying black hat SEO techniques, then get rid of your SEO agency as soon as possible.
