Fast forward to now...don't you Google everything? The biggest problem now is, who to go with? Everyone is calling you or emailing you about their services - and better yet they guarantee top position in Google. I am sure you are getting emails weekly, if not daily, claiming a company can make you #1 on Google. You have may have even tried out one or two in the past. Here is the problem, typically these companies are part of a broad network, or a reach local type of proposition. So you get some "form" of SEO via their website. They do no meta data, no back end analytics, no competitor research, no research period and worse of all, they are typically using your site to further the power of theirs...i.e., Yelp - which isn't a bad company by the by.
