Unfortunately, you have to watch out for some of those SEO types as well. Calling or emailing people who don't know any better and they end up getting suckered thus souring them to the whole process.

If they are lucky, their Developer is well versed in SEO and builds it into the site eliminating the need for a so called SEO specialist.

I've done it that way since 99 and all my customers are happy with the site I build for them and the positions they get in the searches. Since most of the sites I build are not in very competitive areas, just building it correctly from the start is usually enough to give them good positions.
