15 Questions to Ask Before Hiring an SEO Provider in Bangladesh

Before hiring an SEO provider, ask who will do the work, what ships in the first 90 days, which recommendations are implemented, how content and links are produced, who owns accounts, how conversions are measured, what is excluded, and how the contract ends. Clear answers matter more than a polished sales deck.

The best hiring questions expose delivery reality. A provider may have an impressive website, but your outcome depends on the assigned person, their workload, access to implementation and the quality controls behind each deliverable.

Ask the same questions to every shortlisted provider and record the answers. This reduces charisma bias and makes gaps visible before you sign.

Ask for answers in writing. If a critical answer changes between the sales call and contract, resolve it before signing.

What a professional scope should include

What is holding the site back? What evidence supports that view? What will happen in days 1–30, 31–60 and 61–90?

Who is assigned? How many accounts do they manage? Which technical and content changes will the provider implement?

Who writes and reviews content? How is first-hand expertise captured? How are links and mentions earned and qualified?

Which conversions are tracked? Who owns GA4, Search Console, Business Profile and content? How are offline leads connected?

What is excluded? What could increase cost? What are the initial term, exit, handover and confidentiality rules?

What changes the final cost

A practical budget or ROI example

Score each answer from 0 to 2: 0 = absent, 1 = vague, 2 = specific and evidenced. Fifteen questions create a 30-point score. Do not hire solely by score, but investigate any provider below 20 or any zero on ownership, policy or measurement.

What a credible proposal should show

A useful proposal connects the fee to work, ownership and measurement. It should identify the starting problem, prioritise the first 90 days, name the person responsible for delivery, separate recommendations from implementation, and define the metrics that matter. Rankings alone are not enough; use qualified leads, sales, organic landing-page performance and assisted conversions where possible.

Ask for access and ownership terms in writing. Your company should own its website, Google Search Console, GA4, Google Business Profile and published content. The provider may need delegated access, but those assets should not disappear when the contract ends.

Final recommendation

Choose the provider who gives specific, evidenced answers, names the delivery team, protects your ownership and defines the first 90 days. A confident “it depends” with reasoning is better than a false guarantee.
