There are many different questions to ask, but the most important thing for you to know is exactly - step-by-step - what they are planning to do. Then simply have them prove that their methods work and have shown results over several different industries.
As far as pricing goes...expect to spend a minimum of $15k-$20k per year. The more competitive/complicated your site's needs are, the more it will cost. If you are interested, feel free to PM me the site you are thinking of hiring a company for, and I'll see if I can recommend a few different companies. An approximate annual budget would help narrow things a bit, but isn't necessary.
Good luck either way!
P.S. Stay away from anybody that guarantees rankings. No legitimate company offers this for obvious reasons. It may sound good, but there are always a ton of loop-holes that result in you not getting your money back.

Thank you, this is the information I was looking for and yes, from what I hear any / all sites that gurantee rank are most likely BS. I understand the costs of
SEO and these are costs my partner and I are prepared to pay as long as we can find a legitimate company that can provide true, legit, results.
Thank you,
