Fired a $3k/mo SEO agency in Austin last month, their own dashboard proved they were worthless
Caught them reporting ranking gains on keywords nobody searches for while our actual money terms sat flat for 4 months. Their monthly report had 40 pages of charts and not one line about leads, so I asked for cost per booked call and got silence for 3 days. Anyone got a vetting method that actually works before you sign the contract?
