Don't fall for the whole SEO scam. The vast majority of companies that
claim to do SEO will end up getting you a good ranking for useless,
obscure terms or phrases that nobody will ever search for. They also end
up violating good practices, litter your site with garbage content and
spam links, damage your company reputation, and tend to be counted as
abuse that will get your site blocked from search engines for violating
policies.
The only thing I recommend is that you ensure that your site is
regularly updated with high quality, relevant articles to attract
visitors, and that you do not use anything that blocks search engines
(such as requiring JavaScript for all navigation). The search engines
and your visitors will take care of the rest.
If you want any more information, see Google's documentation:

(Basically a more verbose version of what I just said.)
