Do you have an SEO system to follow?

yes and no, for clients i apply the "tested tried and true"

and for "experiements" well i just go with it.

but really, those types of "seo offers" aren't bad to base a seo strategy or more "plan of attack".

we can say that the reason they are so transparent, is for two reasons:
1. some ppl don't understand half of that stuff and it just looks "good"
2. they are showing you what they're doing, that you literally almost can't
2a. that's they're advertising model basically, "see all the stuff we're doing, this is it"

it's kinda like copy us if you like, but you'll take forever doing it.

well yea, we all know not to get seo from emerging/3rd world countries...

if it's an asian seo, run away!
if it's an indian seo, run away!

all they do is
1. promise page 1 rankings
2. spam until rankings move
3. if rankings move in your favor, then they have a customer
3a. if rankings dip, they spam more and call it a google dance

(i'm gonna use the "i'm asian myself" clause, so i don't get in trouble for being racist!)

Not that terribly really if they also had a private network to pass some real juice, and personally I would go a bit slower on the web directory submissions and use a few less article directories.

the transparent option is great for offline, here i'll even give a tip
i layout my "here's what i'm gonna do"
i just takeout one sheet and show them, 49 items (somewhere i saw always use an odd number for a list... whatever)

i black marker like 30 of them, like a fbi document, of course the guy goes "what's with this?"

i say oh, that's our proprietary system, when you sign up i'll fax you over an "unblocked" copy of course, but this is our "special" and tested system for rankings... blah blah blah.

and guess what... i learned this trick... shopping for a wedding dj/mc! well not the blackout part, that's my own "twist" on it, the dj/mc just handed me the list of "stuff" and activities that they'll do, but they want the list back at the end of the consultation. (i ended up hiring them anyway)

and i thought about this in this way.

i have absolutely no idea how or what a dj or mc does, i just know we wanted one for our wedding, we let them take care of the introductions, announcements all that, and it was great!, they had an entire schedule that was planned (their secret sauce) and i could never come up with it, cuz i'm not in the industry and i don't know the first thing about being a dj/mc.

now replace dj/mc with seo, and that's what your client is thinking.

That one i think they uses for standart seo for all websites. But all websites have their needs, so they are doing this only to rank your website slower possible, and working more month on it, so this means less effort, more money.

If there is someone who's bs then it's you, let's take this list:

10. Keywords Mapping - great concept
11. New pages suggestions - great way to increase relevancy
12. Keywords research - always necessary
13. Competitor Analysis - connects to kw research
14. Title Tag changes suggestions - essential
15. Meta tags changes suggestions - good to increase CTR in the SERPS
16. Alt tag changes suggestions - nice for lsi kw's
17. HTML Site Map - I never do this myself tbh
18. XML site map setup - neither do I do this, maybe cause I build small sites
19. Anchor text optimization - internal linking I assume?
20. Google webmaster setup - why not
21. Google analytics setup - good for clients to track progress

How many people on this forum do you think will do these above things?

Well I know from my own last 2000 clients that only about half are doing it and perhaps only 20% does it properly.

Heck, even about 25% of my clients doesn't even put their keyword in the title, let alone the rest of that list. So if a company does this in a proper way then it can be it's weight worth in gold cause otherwise it would never happen. Now I'm obvious not sure how properly an India company would do it, when I do this for my site I easily spend a couple hours to do it properly.

Great strategy uhu? Critisizing others while you have no clue yourself, also it's very clear from your posts that you haven't worked with any clients so far or you wouldn't have made such posts.

Yes, I do. See my sig for more information.

Your example is A LOT of work. I have managed to streamline my processes after years of testing.

My plan:

Build a list
Get my site and blog more in sync (I won't try to explain that here)
Build a list
Continue to make improvements to my site
Build a list
Keep writing on my blog
Build a list
And
Build a list

Everything else will take care of itself.

If you can find a local company with a building and staff who do SEO full time this is the best option has you know they are obviously doing good work with other clients to still be in business

I always make plans while starting SEO for my websites. The real problem is keep the list up. As per the list the SEO company sent you, it is good to know what they are doing to improve the ranking of our websites. If anything fishy going on, we can identify quickly.
