Google 2017 Seo Advice

Google recently began showing list carousels even for top lists and such. But now, did you know if you search for [best SEO companies] Google will show you who they think is the best SEO companies out there?

Here is a screen shot:

The list includes 10 elite SEO companies, some of whom I never heard of before. Here is the list, Boostability, iCrossing, Bruce Clay, Customer Magnetism, Straight North, Ignite Visibility, BlueHat Marketing, eMarketing Concepts, Leverage Marketing and WebpageFX. Again, I'd say I only heard of four of these companies, but that doesn't mean this isn't the top ten best SEO companies in the world.

So not only is Google telling us how to hire an SEO but also who to hire?

John Mueller explained they rank these lists using an algorithm but that algorithm is different from the main ranking algorithm. Gary Illyes implied they pulled the list from other web sites and if you look at some of the results, they have similar top lists. So hard to say exactly but it seems more of a featured snippet solution over a knowledge graph feature.

In any event, thanks for the tip @johnelincoln.
