Why You Shouldn’t Trust Emails Selling SEO Services
Written by Harmonie • Filed Under Bad Business, Google SEO • September 20, 2011
I’m a little perturbed at the increase in frequency of emails to my clients that look similar to the one found here:

Right off the bat, the gmail email address offers no credibility behind the email – one is still left to wonder who this person is and what company they work for (if they are even a real person). But the real clincher behind this email is – if this supposed person who works for a mysterious company is so good at SEO, then why are they emailing YOU? Is it because they don’t have enough clients because not enough people have found them through their own internet marketing efforts?
My best recommendation is if you are looking for an SEO or internet marketing firm, Google “SEO” and the city and/or state your business is in, talk to your friends/colleagues who have worked with a firm or contact us for a no obligation proposal.
