Default SEO Company recommendation?

Does anyone use a SEO company that actually gets results?

NOT looking for a company that tells me how great they are......looking for a actual recommendation from someone using a company that they're happy with.

Thanks!

What can they do that the correct keywords in your page header can’t do?

The ones always trying to sell us have moved on to AdWords optimization and campaigns.

Whoever is hosting your site should be able to provide you free advice or even optimization for a fee. Personally, I don't think an outside agency is needed to provide SEO optimization unless your (or employee) time is worth a lot of money.

It goes far beyond keywords, poor quality content stuffed with keywords was smacked down in the 2011 Panda update. Local SEO is typically the lowest hanging fruit.

Making sure the technical SEO house in order is a more important area of concern than short tail keywords. Well written content structured in semantic html elements that is pertinent to the search query will outperform keyword stuffed articles nearly every time. But it needs the basics in order first and the content needs to be crawlable. If you're not checking your search console routinely how are you aware of indexing or sitemap issues?

Google announced that core web vitals such as cumulative layout shift, first meaningful paint, time to interactive, etc., will become ranking factors in 2021. Have you tried to rank content in a competitive field? It takes a blend of art and technology to do so successfully.

Sure there is a lot of snake oil in the SEO industry, but it exists for a reason and not to just part people from their money.

Tools such as Ahrefs and Semrush while not cheap are a huge help in finding issues and opportunities.

I think off page seo is getting less important since google is trying to represent the best users experience with quality contents. In 2021 ranking factors perhaps will depend on user friendly contents, Page load time, AMP take over including the core web vitals that you mentioned.
Technical seo with placing keywords perfectly can also be part of ranking struggle. For the high competition niches long tail keywords with low KD have been proved more effective to sustain in the field.
Ahref surely a good tool to take the advantages to find out the perfect keywords to get ranked fast.
Yet you are dropping spam comments with backlinks in sale posts, or are links to fitted sheets somehow relevant to an AR for sale?

We used Madwire360 ..they werent cheap, but got yuuge results.

Their costs ended up being about 5% of the sales they drove to us. Cheaper than a salesman, and no headaches. We were in about $1,250/month. Then bean counter said, hey, lets go somewhere else for $500/mo! We will save soo much money.
Now, we get 0 business from our site, or maybe 3% of the traffic/calls.
We are a contractor

Like many others have already said, a few exceptional keywords using AdWords should provide good results. Unless SEO has changed drastically the past 20 years, I set aside $400/mo using AdWords for my business (property management) - best advertising investment I made. FWIW, when I increased my AdWords budget to $600/mo during a winter period, my sales increased even further. Bing, Yahoo - worthless.

Comes down to keywords and your AdWords budget. Money talks, ....walks.

Yeah Adwords on specfic keywords is your best bet. Google is the biggest game in town for search.
