  2. Can you give me three clients that you have had first-page results for?
  3. What are some campaigns you have succeeded with?
  4. Can you illustrate any significant traffic boosts or conversion boosts?
  5. What is your general SEO process?
  6. What is your criteria for choosing keyword phrases?
  7. How is success measured?
