GuestNovember 14, 2025 at 9:25 pmHere’s the key part you should elaborate further on:
“I had hired an SEO agency for a 3 month contract **for my new website** and the initial contract is over.”
What does that mean? Did you get a brand new domain? a rebuild ontop of the old one? Did you get a new domain because the old one was bad?
One of the first things I look at when I’m talking to a potential client, is what they already have out there.
Time and time and time again “SEO agencies” will just rebuild the clients website ontop of an existing domain that’s already fried with spam/piracy/whatever because most of them are web devs first with little understanding of how the internet actually works and don’t know this is a thing.
One of my current clients originally came from a churn/burn website firm that specialized in the medical field – his performance was shit so he “jailbroke the domain” and went with the cheapest person possible – who turned out to be running malware/phising scams on the same host. Guess how well that turned out?
Sorry for the rant, but I’ve seen a dramatic uptick in this kinda shit…
