#3. Pricing – Do they fall within your budget? If not do they offer flexible packaging and pricing for your needs?

#4. Have an Incite of Their Link building Strategy - its not story that bad backlinks are like bad eggs, know the kind of backlinks they will build for your site or blog. The site Domain Authority (D.A), numbers of backlinks they will provide and how fast it will (here 40 backlinks daily is OK).
