    But isn't there specific questions you should ask to determine the quality of their work before you hire them?

    @rachelc, it is very difficult to select the right SEO agency. It is easy for these companies to advertise their SEO expertise, over-promise and under-deliver -- especially since big search engines companies such as Google are constantly changing their algorithms so SEO tactics need to constantly evolve and it can be difficult to keep up with. 

    In my experience, the better thing to do is to talk to people in the industry and ask them to refer you to agency they trust, instead of simply searching on the internet and cold calling companies. That way you will have an understanding of their quality of work.

    I would assume SEO agency must know well in SEO, right? Therefore, their website should have a very high ranking in Google, which is easy for you to verify the result (their capability).

    Alternatively, ask them what keywords they used, then google them and verify the result. If their keywords appear at the top of the result page and you are happy with it, then place your order with them. 

    On top of that, you can look for SEO agency that offers money-back guarantees. You can get your money back if you don't see the promised result. This will help to lower your risk of investment.
