Kelvin,
Thanks for the offer of advice. I think I have made my mind up to actually put my hand in my pocket for something web related for once instead of doing it all myself.
What I want to know before I pay anything though is how reliable the promises I've had are... SEO sales people seem so sure that we'll get to the top of the natural listings, perhaps I'm just synical but I'm reluctant to believe a word they say.
Ideally I'd like to pay someone based on the results they get. I don't mind paying something upfront but I feel uncomfortable with paying a large chunk upfront and the rest on a monthly retainer. What if the company I hire is shit and I I spend hundreds of pounds on nothing?
