  1. Excellent article, it’s pleasure to read your blog ?I've been doing some research on which top seo company would be the best for me. I'm really looking for a company that knows what they're doing and have me and my site's best interest in mind. I figure they'll do well if my work is doing well. One of the places I'm looking into is www.bergstrom-seo.com. I was wondering if you've ever dealt with them and what your opinion of them is. I'm kind of nervous about just jumping in and working with a company before I get other people's opinions on them. I really like to hear about others' experiences. Working with a top seo company is new to me so I'd rather use good judgement than just a gut feeling when deciding who to work with.
