Here are a few suggestions you can try when shopping around:

Ask about qualifications, experience and other important aspects.
Look at the big picture. Don't select an SEO firm based purely on price or rankings obtained – find out how SEO directly affected their clients' bottom line!
Check references and evaluate results. Many successful SEO firms will be happy to share client references and case studies with you.
Look at all aspects of the firm, including customer service efforts, availability and attentiveness, originality, experience, etc.
Get specific about your future. They may be able to provide noticeable ranking results, but ask for specifics about how they will deliver long-term, sustainable results.
Search the Web for information on the SEO provider to find articles, press releases, former client information, accomplishments, etc.
Request a conversation with a member of the SEO team – you'll likely get more valuable information than if you talk to a salesperson only.
Accurately communicate your expectations and ask them to explain how they will help your company meet its goals. Divulge information about challenges your company currently faces and see if they are confident they can help you surmount them.
Ask about industry involvement. Do members of the team speak at events, or consult for or belong to industry organizations? Do they maintain informational blogs or take other measures to stay on top of innovations in SEO?
Ask them how they provide trackable results. For instance, all full-service SEO projects managed by seOverflow are accurately tracked and feature in-depth monthly reports on five or more SEO key performance indicators.
