What makes a good SEO agency

Most agency roundups rank on revenue, headcount, or how much the agency paid to appear. None of that tells you whether the work will suit your business. A good SEO agency is one whose shape matches your problem — a small local specialist and a large multi-office team can both be the right pick, and choosing the wrong one costs you a year.

How we pick

01
Real presence, not a placement fee

We start from who genuinely ranks and gets reviewed for this work in this market, not who paid to be on a list.

02
What their own site actually says

We read the services, specialisms and case studies each agency publishes themselves, rather than taking a pitch at face value.

03
Fit over size

A nine-person specialist and a forty-person team can both be the right answer. We flag who each agency actually suits.

04
What is missing

No pricing on the site, no case studies, no clear specialism — we say so, rather than papering over the gaps.

What you should consider

01
Your stage, not your size

A business with nothing running yet needs foundations shipped. A business already getting results needs someone who can find the next percentage point. These are different agencies.

02
Local vs national fit

If your customers are in one city, a local specialist with local runs on the board usually beats a national generalist. If you sell everywhere, the reverse is often true.

03
How much of your own time this needs

Some engagements need your input weekly, others run mostly hands-off. Ask what they need from your side before you sign.

04
What happens after month twelve

Ask what the account looks like a year in and who owns the assets. If the answer is vague, that is the answer.
