I know bad SEO. As a regular contributor on the Google Webmaster Forums as well as specializing in helping clients remove Google penalties, I’ve seen it all. Bad SEO can bomb your website back into the stone ages courtesy of a Google penalty. It can take months and sometimes even years to clean-up and get back in good standing with Google. I’ve seen sites operating under penalty whose daily referral traffic from Google is less than 1% of their total traffic. Google controls a 68% share of the search engine market so this shunning is devastating to businesses.

t's a big challenge for the average business owner to tell the difference between good and bad SEO practitioners, and hiring the wrong person/company can make a big difference. These are on the money questions to ask.

I agree. To businesses that aren't familiar with SEO, the warning signs aren't apparent. This article does a great job of pinpointing the questions that really matter.

If you had additional questions to this list, what would they be?
