Getting noticed on the web is hard and there are many firms that specialise in getting online visitors through the door of commercial websites using SEO (search engine optimisation). Some know what they're doing and others don't. There is even a site that ranks SEO providers and it has just released a league table of the top 30.


Describing itself as an independent authority on search vendors, topseos.com.au, has announced the Top 30 Search Engine Optimization firms in Australia for February 2011.

According to topseos.com.au, search engines are such an integral part of how visitors and potential clients find information on the internet, it becomes essential that websites are aligned with what the search engine is looking for.

'Though there are many firms who engage in Search Engine Marketing activities, the process is by no means easy. Getting a link to the top of a search engine's results page requires a great amount of strategizing and only a company who understand the intricacies of organic optimization will be able to accomplish that,' said Jeev Trika, Managing Partner of topseos.com.au.

topseos.com.au obtained its intelligence by gathering feedback from at least three of the firm's clients to understand their performance better.

As part of their assessment, questions include both general and project specific queries such as, 'What type of needs analysis was conducted before work initiated?', 'What type of a ROI were you anticipating, what was achieved and in what time frame?', 'What would be 3 things you would change about your experience?', 'What was your total investment?', 'Rate your overall experience (1-10; 10 being the highest).', 'What are the most competitive keywords you have been able to rank on the major search engines and how long did it take you to achieve those rankings?', 'Did the agency modify the way they achieved higher rankings for you based on the Universal Search model introduced by Google? How?', 'How comprehensive, specific, and useful are the reports that are offered to the client? What metrics do they cover?', 'Do the reports inform you what the next set of steps ought to be to achieve higher rankings and when you can expect to achieve the next set of goals by?' or 'How many of your top industry keywords rank in the top 10? Which ones?"
