It’s been brought to my attention from a number of clients that they have been approached by another SEO company giving them information about how they are currently “loosing links and their ranking will fall.”

It’s not uncommon for clients to have other SEO companies approach them and when it’s all fair game I have no problem, however the SEO company I’m going to talk about in this post don’t quite have their facts correct.

The Pitch

Did you know that your site is currently loosing backlinks; at the rate it is dropping you will loose your rankings. Your current SEO company are obviously not working towards your best interests.

They then display a graph from Majestic SEO as follows:

Now if you’re a client who doesn’t have much knowledge of SEO or majestic SEO as a service, well this looks pretty convincing doesn’t it?!

The facts

Well the SEO company has obviously not done their research or they are trying to blatantly fool innocent company owners.  A tip – If you are the SEO company involved please read my article on my personal blog called “Clarity about Majestic SEO“; if you aren’t aware of how Majestic SEO works it’s a good read anyway.

To sum up the article, well basically there are three main views in Majestic SEO and you can look at them from either a total backlinks perspective or referring domains perspective. (Referring domain is more accurate as it shows the actual number of websites linking to you.)

The main two views to look at are:

1. Monthly View
2. Cumulative view

Monthly view shows how many new links the Majestic SEO spider crawls each month (Remember New links)

Cumulative view shows the total values added up each month.
I.e. Month one, 100 new links were found, month two 60 new links were found, month three 30 new links were found on a monthly view it would show:

To clarify!

Majestic SEO doesn’t show your links dropping!

Conclusion

Just be aware that there are still many bogus SEO companies out there. Get them to clarify any facts of their evaluation with you.

When we decided that our company website (www.touchstonelofts.co.uk) is going to be the face of our loft conversion company, and essentially our primary marketing tool to potential clients, we researched many, many,  SEO’s before discovering the unique artistry of Just Search. The quality of work and attention to detail  Neil Walker, the CTO displayed throughout the entire analysis, was extremely impressive. We look forward to maintaining a positive and productive relationship in the future with Just Search as our loft conversion company grows and evolves.

Needless to say, I highly recommend Just Search
