Choosing an SEO agency without getting caught out

SEO is difficult to judge if you're not in the industry yourself. That makes it a market where smooth talkers can get away with a lot. This page helps you choose an agency — even if that isn't me.

If you're looking for SEO for under € 400 per month, I will be too expensive for you — and that's absolutely fine. In that case, learn how to do it yourself on my sister platform MarketingTrainer.nl; for that budget, it's the fairest route.

If you want results within a month, SEO is not the right channel, and I will tell you so straight away. Google Ads makes far more sense to start with. And if you prefer to keep tight control over the day-to-day execution, you're better off working with a freelancer who works to your instructions.

You're an SME looking to fully outsource this, you have budget starting from € 475 per month, and you want a single point of contact responsible for both Google and AI search answers. If that's you, you're in the right place: I've been in this industry since 2005 and have helped 420+ businesses.
