Put that phone down!! I can’t stress enough how consumers who receive cold calls from companies offering a guaranteed position is a company not worth dealing with. More and more clients are seeking advice as to what do with such a tempting proposition. The question you should really ask yourself is “is it worth loosing my website for?”

The pattern I have seen often involves being tied to a 12 month contract of a min of £200pm upwards and no results have been seen. Thus a loss of £2,400+vat, for a small company this can be quite a blow. Alternatively you do see dramatic results and very fast but so too you see your website disappear out of Google virtually overnight. There could a number of factors at play here. The first case scenario, are they really doing any work to the site? The second case scenario, what have they done to the site to get Google so worked up it’s thrown my site out of the rankings. If you need a website built that requires good rankings then my advice is to search for a design company who can do both and also look for references and examples of their work, see if they allow you to contact their clients for feedback. There are many companies out there can do a good job, however these companies don’t need to call you. You can quite easily find them!
