GuestNovember 29, 2025 at 9:37 pmThe only question your SEO guy needs to answer, is what legit backlinks he acquired for your website, on what keywords for what page.
If the answer is not: “I got you this link from this website on keywords {your service your area}”, then feel free to fire him. If he can answer this question, then fire your web guy. Ask the web guy the same question. Both are taking your money, and both can get you a link once in a while.
You should be getting a monthly Looker Studio report where you can CLEARLY see your Average Position for the pages these guys worked on, going down.
There are companies that will be willing to create such reports for you for “free”.
There are companies that would gladly give you a 3rd and 4th opinion, too.
Don’t let them tell you stories. Let them show you the data.
