Look at how they think, not just what they made

Anyone can show attractive screenshots. Ask why the layout is the way it is, what problem the project solved and what happened after launch.

Ask who does the work

Find out who designs, who develops, who writes and who is accountable when something breaks. Subcontracting is fine when it is declared and managed.

Check what happens after launch

Hosting, maintenance, security updates, improvements and reporting should all have clear answers and clear costs before you sign.

Warning signs

Guaranteed rankings, quotes given before anyone has asked about your business, no mention of measurement, and a refusal to hand over accounts or code. Any of those should give you pause.
