However, website owners have to be very cautious in the choice of an SEO as many SEOs often adopt unethical means to boost the visibility of a website which ends in serious consequences for the website owner such as the permanent dropping of a website from search engine results. A cautious approach should be adopted in the choice of an SEO. Many SEOs make tall claims to the website owners and guarantee them top rankings in the search engines. Remember that no search engine has any priority for any SEO and hence no SEO can guarantee you top rankings in a search engine result.  
Be wary of SEOs that do not provide you a clear outline of how they intend to improve your search engine ratings.

Since this success is not attributed to the practice of some magical powers, the SEO should be able to provide you a clear outline of how they plan to implement their plan of action. Remember that you will be held responsible for the actions of the company whose services you hire for the promotion of your website. Certain SEOs may charge you a large sum to help your website rank higher in the search engine results. However, what they may actually do is to place your website in the advertising sections.

There are certain search engines that accept payments for pay per click or pay for inclusion results so you should know that your money is being put for temporary advertising rather than permanent inclusion, as claimed by the SEO.  
Always remember to ask for references. Look into the important details such as the names of the sites that have been promoted by the SEO, the number of years it has been in business, the number of full time employees that it has on its rolls and whether the SEO makes it a point to report any spams, that it detects, to Google. A reputable SEO should always be preferred over a new SEO even if that means you have to shell out much more money for the services. Ask for a money back guarantee from the SEO so that you may seek a refund if you are dissatisfied with the services provided by the SEO.  
There are a number of guidelines that a website owner can follow to improve the visibility of his/her website before seeking the help of an SEO. The accessibility, the quality of the written content and the lay out of the website are parameters that influence the visibility of a website and can be effectively managed by a website owner. If a website owner still feels that he needs the services of an SEO, the services of a reputable Search Engine optimization firm will definitely come in handy.          

This is light grey template perfectly suitable for small and average websites, 2 column, logo incorporated with header part rounded corners around overall layout. Mouse over 4 buttons on the top.  

Note the 3-4th row, where is written
Seo Score and Meta Relevance.

I don’t know whether their algorithm match with the Google’s and Yahoo ones, but that should be easy handy tool to verify your websites metas quality. As for my opinion, description and keywords tags are not so important as Title tag. You may noticed high ranking sites over the net, without description and keyword tags. This is the fact that the 1st considiration of the site depend on title, rather than other meta tags.
