When deciding between SEO agencies, we recommend asking the below questions before deciding on a partner. These questions are crafted through our experience meeting with clients, and extensive trial and error working with clients in several B2B SaaS niches.
| Question | Ideal Answer | Red Flags | Reasoning |
| What B2B SEO services do you provide? | “We place an emphasis on thought leadership content marketing, beginning with technical SEO, keyword research, and strategic SEO planning.” | “We only do technical SEO.”“We do initial keyword research and write a few blog articles each month” | If you want to get the most out of an SEO campaign in terms of ROI, technical SEO and some occasional blog articles will not be enough to improve domain authority and consistently drive lead growth. |
| How do you create SEO content? | “We provide each client a team of specialists, including an SME, graphic designer, conversion optimizer, and analytics specialist.” | “We have a team of on-staff copywriters who write for all our B2B SEO clients.” | Many SEO firms have teams of writers that create cookie-cutter content for a wide variety of content, which can compromise industry authority while reaping sub-par results. |
| How do you measure B2B SEO results? | “Our main KPI is marketing qualified leads (MQLs) or new revenue; secondary KPIs are rankings for commercially valuable keywords and traffic-to-lead conversion rate. We always strive to measure our success by our clients’ success.” | “We measure success based on search ranking positions and organic traffic.” | If an SEO firm only measures success by search placement and organic traffic, they will likely neglect vital SEO principles like conversion optimization essential to growing revenue. |
The best SEO firms will:
If a B2B SEO firm fails to meet one of these standards, they fail to achieve significant results, stripping SEO services of the channel’s uniquely high ROI. Combined with SEO’s relatively long lead time before seeing results, clients can be left dedicating months or years to a campaign that provides subpar outcomes.

Finally, the list below includes several key questions to consider asking when speaking with an SEO agency. During the sales process, it’s important to have your priorities straight
Although many firms out there will claim to be able to do anything you need, the reality is that each SEO agency has a specific field they excel in. For example, First Page Sage is a full-service SEO company, but within SEO, specializes in creating authoritative thought leadership content and custom tailored strategic SEO plans. Agencies you consider should be able to provide similarly specific answers.
Follow up questions:
Whether you are looking for thought leadership or ad copy, the agency’s methodology for content creation will tell you a lot about how they view their work, your industry, and ultimately your agency. These questions are especially important in distinguishing a mid-range agency from an industry leader since most low-cost agencies may not even have content creation as an option.
Follow up questions:
How an SEO agency determines whether or not the campaign is a success is a critical discussion you should have first within your own company and then with the agency themselves. Require full transparency here: an agency that is hesitant to speak about or adjust their preferred metrics is a major red flag during the selection process.
