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!

How long does it take for Google for deindexing pages?
Hi mozzers, We just launched a mobile website(parallel) and realized that it created many duplicate content with desktop URLs. I decided to add name="robots" content="No index, No follow" /> to the entire mobile site. My only concern is that I am still seeing the mobile site indexed when it's been almost a week I added these tags. Does anyone know how long it takes google to deindex your content? Thanks

New to rich snippets, help needed
Hi, I have an online store selling mens business attire in Australia. I have had my developers add the required code to allow rich snippets. You can see the result here http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/richsnippets?url=http%3A%2F%2Fjsshirts.com.au%2Fmens-business-shirts%2Fclassic-fit%2Fsky-blue-poplin-classic-fit-shirt.html&view=cse I have few questions 1.How can I change the product description? Is it possible to use the product Meta Tag as the description? 2.Under the stars and the review count is this text. The excerpt from the page will show up here. The reason we can't show text from your webpage is because the text depends on the query the user types. Should whateever product description I have used show up here? 3.Is there anything else I need to do to get SERP's to show the snippet? Many thanks for any answers, Jason

Basic SEO HTML
Hello Everyone, One place I am weak is coding for SEO. I need to get better. One question I do have is can anyone explain why it's important to place css and java script files in an external file? How do you do this and how do you know if it's already being done? If it has not been done on a site is it hard to go back and do? I understand this is important from a site load time issue Thanks, Bill P.S. Can anyone recommend a resource where I can learn proper html coding for SEO? Thank you!

URL content format - Any impact on SEO
I understand that there is a suggested maximum length for a URL so as not to be penalized by search engines. I'm wondering if I should if should optimize our ecommerce categories to be descriptive or use abbreviations to help keep the URL length to a minimum? Our products are segmented into many categories, so many products URL's are pretty long if we go the descriptive route. I've also heard that removing the category component entirely from a product URL can also be considered. I'm fairly new to all this SEO stuff, so I'm hoping the community can share their knowledge on the impact of these options. Cheers, Steve
