I need an SEO Specialist to take a look at a few things for me
-
I need to hire an SEO specialist technician to take a look at a few things under the hood that I can't seem to figure out... is this the right place to ask for this type of paid help?
-
Thanks Keri, I figured that
Btw, you guys are great here at Moz!

Hello Salman,
Moz staff does not step in to delete questions unless there has been obvious spam or someone's privacy has been violated. Deleting a question is unfair to everyone who volunteered their time to write an answer, only to have their work (and moz points) removed.
It's best to be cautious and only say as much as you are comfortable with saying in the first place.

Hi Federico... I didn't do a good job at explaining in more detail, but we are doing ongoing SEO... we just ran into a specific problem that we never encountered before, so we were looking for someone that had technical SEO experience that would be able to help us.
Having said that, I completely agree that every site should perform SEO on a continuous basis (i.e. monthly contract or some type of internal SEO initiative - or a combination of both).
-
You may also go public and ask your questions here, you would be able to figure it out by variety of comments.
upon resolution you can edit and remove your personal information, or may request staff to delete!
-
I agree that ideally SEO should be a continuous process, but certain issues can be rectified or improvements made to websites that will have a positive impact long after the initial time it takes to make any changes.
My advice would be to ask a couple of questions here on the Moz forum to see if we can help you out.
If you do decide to hire an SEO, Google has some advice here: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/35291?hl=en

Hi Fedrico. I agree with you when the need is for ongoing SEO work. But the original poster said:
_..._hire an SEO specialist technician to take a look at a few things under the hood that I can't seem to figure out...
Which I understand to mean he has a couple of puzzling technical issues he needs help with. Those can sometimes be straightened out quickly.

Gregory, unfortunately, if you would like to succeed you will "need" those monthly contracts. There's no way to have success with short term contracts. If a company offers a "1 month SEO boost" you can be almost sure your site will be ruined the very next month you see a boost in your rankings. SEO should be done for the long run.
Moz lists there several companies, some do offer services only for large businesses but some do also offer for small businesses. Just need to do some research and ask for quotes.
-
From the research I did, the "recommended companies" on the Moz list are all fantastic, but are all geared towards working with large business on long monthly contracts.
If you just need some quick help I suggest doing this:
-
do a few searches here for terms related to your issue
-
check the profiles of those responded with intelligent answers - some of them will be with small SEO agencies
-
contact them, explain your problem, and ask for a quote to resolve it
Good luck!

Trailing Slashes and SEO
Hi, We're currently using a third party blog platform (Blog Engine) on our site and we have a trailing slash issue. I can add as many trailing slashes as I want to the blog's homepage URL, but they don't redirect and our dev guys say this cannot be done with Blog Engine. We're in the process of building our own blog but, in the meantime, I just wanted to know if this will cause an issue? Individual blog posts with trailing slashes are redirected, it's just the homepage where it can't be done. I haven't noticed any traffic going to a blog URL with trailing slashes, and I don't believe any URLs with trailing slashes are being indexed, so should this be OK? Cheers, Lewis

Looking for a technical solution for duplicate content

Need Urgent Help
I have found one mistake that my place page address is little different than address on all local directories like on place page address is: 10010 S Tryon St #122 Charlotte, NC 28273 and on directories : 10010 South Tryon St 122 Charlotte, NC 28273 so on place page it is just "S" instead of South and "#" is before 122 but on all directories # is missing So what do you suggest ? Should i change address and re verify place page ? Re verify will put down place page value ???

Domain redirect seo
Hello, my domain www.pacomarca.com and when i start the new campaing i get this pronblem: We have detected that the domain www.pacomarca.com and the domain pacomarca.com both respond to web requests and do not redirect. Having two "twin" domains that both resolve forces them to battle for SERP positions, making your SEO efforts less effective. We suggest redirecting one, then entering the other here. my domain is in networksolutions.com. how can i resolve it? many thanks Gonzalo

SEO Tomfoolery
Oh Hai, I recently changed the permalink structure on my Wordpress based site, southwestbreaks.co.uk from the standard ?p=123 to a more SEO chummy /%postname%/. As a result, my site has completely dropped off the board for all my previously well ranked search phrases. Having since gotten into SEOmoz a bit more, I can see there are WP plugins available that apparently would've done this a lot more smoothly. I'd be most grateful if someone could explain if this drop off is just temporary, or have I somehow entered Google's shun book? The site has been like this for about 48 hours. Thanks, Tim

How does a mega drop-down affects SEO?
We are looking at implementing a "mega drop-down" as our main menu on our website. Will that be good or bad for SEO? My company is a big tour operator so our website contains a lot of pages describing all our destinations, hotels etc. We have noticed that our visitors have some trouble to navigate to all this pages since it requires a lot of clicks to reach a specific page. In order to make this easier we have looked at this popular mega drop-down thing that we all love. But what about Google? Will Google love or hate us for doing this? An example showing what I mean by mega drop-down: http://www.phonehouse.se/
