OK, I may not be Matt Cutts, Jill Whalen, or Danny Sullivan , but I do know a thing or two about SEO. One thing I know for sure is if you offer SEO services on your website, well than, maybe your website should be optimized for search engines.

I’ve been in the SEM industry for about 6 years now and have decided to start my own SEM business. While researching “competitors” in the area, I’m amazed by how many companies who offer SEO services haven’t even implemented the most basic of SEO tactics to their own websites. Really, they haven’t. These websites use the company name in the Title tag – on every page, have no Description tag (or a useless one), and poorly designed websites.

How these companies even sell SEO is beyond me. How do you even prove your worth as an SEO if you don’t practice what you preach? Well, considering that they aren’t showing up in searches for “SEO Services in [enter city here]”, it’s safe to say they probably aren’t selling SEO at all.

LOL, good point. It would make excellent linkbait to out all the SEO consultancy sites who don’t follow even the most basic of onsite SEO, such as unique page titles. C’mon, I dare ya. Out ‘em! :D
