Before you choose an SEO company, you need to learn the language of SEO.

My recommendation is to visit Search Engine Watch (link referenced below) and spend a few hours reading their site.

Then you have three options:

1) Hire an SEO company - If you go this route, try Googling SEO - You may find better pricing if you go a few pages down in the search results. Be vary wary of anyone who guarantees rankings.

2) Hire an in-house person. This is often the best option because an in-house person can learn your business better.

3) Try to do it yourself. I recommend this option. Why not make your best stab at it? My guess is that you might surprise yourself. Then later, if you want, you can hire an expert. If you do decide you need an expert, at least now you will know the language and understand what you are paying. That will save you serious money.

If you want to try it yourself, here's a very brief primer on the basics:

First and foremost, understand what Google wants. Google wants to match searchers with what they are REALLY looking for.

That is your guiding principle.

Don't try to game the system. You can do just fine by giving Google what it wants.

There are 5 basic principles to SEO:

1) Title Tags - make your page titles match your priority keywords.

2) Text Content - Your site must contain text that is useful to your visitors and includes your keywords.

3) Alt Tags - Every image on a page can be named with a keyword.

4) Header Tags - Each section of text can have a "headline" that includes your keywords.

5) Links - You need RELEVANT links from other web sites.

Do these things and you are off to a great start!

Before choosing a SEO company, here is what you need to do:

Get a FREE analysis from several companies. If they won't do one, I wouldn't use that company
Ask for a client ranking list and testimonials. Whatever city they are in, Google "(the city) search engine optimization". If they aren't at the top of the first page, or at least on the top page organically (naturally), it means they aren't practicing what they are preaching, and I'd move on. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=tam...gle+Search
Don't go with a company that wants to lock you into a long term contact. If they are as good as they say, you will be happy with your rankings increases, and would have no reason to leave.
Don't go with a company that GUARANTEES rankings. Google themselves frown on that: http://www.google.com/support/webmasters...swer=35291

Hope this helps

I am a freelance SEO person which means I charge a substantially cheaper amount for my services than a SEO company normally would. I can also provide you with a FREE SEO analysis of your current site. Send me an e-mail and we can discuss further.
