There are at least five things to be consider before hiring SEO company.
  • Know your goal
  • Select a SEO that “gets it done”
  • Inquire the strategies they adopt
  • Ask for payment schedule
  • Ensure your attempts are bounded legally.

I agree that you have Goal as the first in the list because that will determine everything. If your goal is not that difficult then I guess you can just hire a freelancer to do the work particularly with the posting of backlinks on selected sites. And if you have the time then it is best to write the contents yourself and think of the good keywords that go with the content when you upload it. But if your goal is pretty high and large then I guess an SEO company is imperative.

Do I need to check their sites first for backlinks and such?

Also, find out which other sites they've done SEO for and see how those sites rank for popular keywords in their niche.

I don't really take my friends suggestions on SEO as they don't really work in the SEO/internet marketing field. But if someone on a forum that i respected made a credible suggestion, i might consider it.

I myself don't have friends that's knowledgeable in SEO but I do consider asking only friends from SEO forums.

Why do you want to hire an SEO company?

SEO is effective but time consuming internet marketing process.we have to keep patience to produce good result on search engine. Hiring SEO company means,you are saving your valuable hours behind link building tactics. As I know,there are many SEO companies which are providing quality SEO services on desired keywords.

And, hiring someone to backlink for you saves your time for other things, like content creation/blog posting/writing projects.

True. But be sure to check out the guy's previous works or feedbacks from his previous employers.
And if course, he should know what he is doing.

Would be ideal to get a good recommendation from friend or trusted blogger/webmaster who used that person's service.

Call me paranoid but my take when it comes to hiring is a good and verified recommendation. I don’t easily believe the reviews about a company and a short research should be done before hiring whether it is a company or a person. Pardon me for saying that the internet is rife with scammers and you will only look stupid if you bite the bait. Anyway, a good company has a good track record and perhaps that’s the one you should focus when you do the research.
