Searching for SEO/SEM with eCommerce Experience
-
I've debated on whether I should ask this on the Q&A forum. Many times I have started to write it, then changed my mind. So today, after sending another round of emails out to potential SEM and SEO consultants and getting zero response, I said what the heck and decided to post it.
I will point the finger at myself and say I must be doing something wrong in my approach and the way I am seeking out consultants or maybe what I am not saying. However, I cannot seem to get SEO companies to return my phone calls or emails. Is my company too small? Are most of the companies recommended here too busy with other work to worry about following up? Is my company and brand not sexy enough to deal with? Am I coming across wrong in my emails and phone calls?
With that being said, I decided to write a post here and clearly state some basic and general requirements in hope someone interested will respond. I would be more than happy to answer and specific questions about my company, budget, etc. in a PM.
I am looking for an SEO firm or consultants who:
-
Will deal with small businesses with revenue under $2M. I have budgeted for this and am ready to start a project immediately.
-
Have experience and a successful track record working with eCommerce sites who sell a large number of products.
-
Interested in a long term relationship that will produce long lasting, durable results.
-
Try to understand my business and what it will take to make grow my ONLINE profitability.
I look forward to speaking to anyone interested.

Hi Jake,
I am new to using Moz as a product, and SEO is a continued learning experience for me.
I would be happy to work with you so that you can come back to this question and tell these guys how I helped you, not just because I am a kick ass SEO but a customer service ninja.
I am not concerned by your budget, but interested in your current approach and the results you are receiving.
Kind Regards
Jeremy

I don't think your company is too small at all. Revenue under 2 million?! Please and thank you!
Goodness.. Are SEO firms truly that busy right now? Or is it laziness? What's goin on here, people?!
-
Thanks Jesse.
Hey, I accept that my approach in how I am communicating could be way off. Maybe people could respond and let me know that a company as small as mine just isn't worth the response but I am surprised.
I have written emails to approximately 10 different recommended companies, whether through a direct PM or through the contact us page on their website and have gotten ZERO responses over the last 4 days.--sounds like I am in the wrong business!
-
Oh sorry
As Jesse says, that's surprising to hear ...
-
Hi John and thank you for the response. I was not very clear in my post but my frustration stemmed from querying companies on the recommended page.
-
I don't have any suggestions to offer you at the moment, but I'm baffled that you are having this much trouble. You are willing to pay for a service... that should be all it takes! I work in SEO for a company, not an SEO company. Therefore I can't help you. But if I were freelance or working for a marketing consultant I would have replied to your email within an hour of receiving it!
What in the world is going on...! Good luck to you. I think posting your query here was a good move, ultimately. At least no harm can come of it.

Few question about SEO
HI guys, I have few questions and I always find good answer here. I tried many SEO companies some very expensive and well known some with medium prices and some from India. I’m not an SEO expert but I always get the same things from SEO companies. They're saying you have to stay with us for few months before you’ll see any results. I completely understand however I don’t see the result on the end.1. What exactly Do I need SEO company for, after I do on page optimisation if they don’t work on proper backlinks. Just letting you know I’m getting content from other people.2. Is there something else which is really important after your page is optimised than backlinks? Or we should fully focus on get backlinks from customers, guest post, sharing on social media etc. to increase our DA and PA?3. Any advice about some individual or company who is good in backlink services?

How good or bad is this for SEO?

For every single company that is listed we have Creditworthiness - that helps to find information about their payment history and their business status. It's pretty useful. An example could be found here: http://www.visalietuva.lt/en/company/dizrega-uab/creditworthiness Some companies that are proud of their result started putting Iframe on their pages:
http://dizrega.lt/lt/kontaktai/firmos-rodikliai We noticed this on Google Webmasters, when new links started to appear.
So we are not sure if this is good for SEO? Of course this is good for our Google Analytics:))
If this is good, maybe we should send offer for our clients, that we can help to put iframe like this for free, for people who are not able to do it themselves. Your opinions please!0 -
International SEO
Hi all, The company that I work for is planning to target some french (and some other foreign) keywords. The thing is, in our industry, you can't just hire someone to translate the content/pages. The pages have to be translated by an accredited translator. Here's the thing, it costs a LOT of money just to translate a few thousand words. So, the CEO decided to translate a few of our 'core' pages and SEO them to see if it brings results. My questions are, would it be possible from a technical point of view to simply translate a few pages? Would that cause a problem for the search engine crawlers? Would those pages be 'seen' as duplicates? Thanks in advance guys!

Is the <a data-uri="">link SEO friendly?</a>
We've earned a great link from a popular website but it is in a strange format: <a data-uri="http:;;;;;;;;www.domain.com;;;;" target="_blank">blue widgets</a> It is still visible as a link from the web browsers, but I was wondering how will it perform in terms of SEO visibility and crawabillity? Any ideas?

SEO Recommendations
For about 3 years our website was number one in Google.co.uk for our trades main keyphrase which resulted in excellent sales. About 12 months ago that position started to slide downwards and for that keyphrase we are now number 10. We are still at number's 1,2 and 3 for several other keyphrases but ones that result in fewer daily Google searches and resultant sales. I have always added unique content to the site but admit that my blog posts became less than daily over the past 12 months. However I am adding posts as often as I can now, of good length and of unique content. As well as tweaking all our online seo factors I'm trying to add good backlinks as often as possible. I wonder if anyone has been in a similar position and what they did to try and regain their previous position? Colin

What on-page/site optimization techniques can I utilize to improve this site (http://www.paradisus.com/)?
I use a Search Engine Spider Simulator to analyze the homepage and I think my client is using black hat tactics such as cloaking. Am I right? Any recommendations on to improve the top navigation under Resorts pull down. Each of the 6 resorts listed are all part of the Paradisus brand, but each resort has their own sub domain.
