      Does anyone have suggestions on places that provide in depth site / analytics reviews for SEO?

        You might try the good folks at http://www.goinflow.com/ - Everett Sizemore in particular. He gave a very good mozinar on eCommerce SEO here: http://moz.com/webinars/ecommerce-seo-fix-and-avoid-common-issues  This is how I became familiar with him.

        There are also two guys at http://www.melen.net, Matthew Prepis and Oleg Korneitchouk (Oleg is active here in the Moz forum) who performed a high level audit for us that was top notch. They were striving to win our business and are still in the running. They are excellent.

        Either of these two might come in quite a bit lower than a company like RKG, depending on the scope of the project of course.

          THanks! Any idea of smaller companies that can just preform the initial review? Or is everything like taking on new clients as I am not as interested in that.

            Gotcha. Then Dana's suggestions will be good. The challenge you'll probably encounter is one of matching cost for an audit against the business value. The companies recommended by Moz tend to be at the higher end of cost, because they're large companies with plenty of experience and expertise.

                Are you looking for tools that provide in-depth data so you can do the SEO review/audit yourself, Gordian? Or are you looking for companies/consultants that will do the whole audit for you? Just wanted to clarify.

                  There are some excellent companies out there that can provide a broad range of site audits for you. Moz has compiled and excellent list here: http://moz.com/community/recommended

                  Because they weren't on the list and I have a tremendous amount of respect for the knowledge and experience this company has under one roof I'd also mention Rimm-Kaufman (RKG)

                  Prices can vary wildly, ranging from free audits to audits that are $10,000 or more, so it's important to consider where your company is and what's needed and take it from there. Here's a great post on site audits from the RKG blog:

                  Building a Better SEO Site Audit

                  Hope that's helpful info. Also, if you've got someone savvy on your team, and you have more time than you have money, here's great site audit template (given as part of Annie Cushing's presentation at Search Love Boston in 2012)  that can really go pretty deep and help you construct one on your own:

                  http://www.seerinteractive.com/blog/craziest-internet-marketing-audit-checklist-on-the-interwebz

                  It includes links to an already formatted GoogleDoc that templates everything you need. Brilliant.

                    Pausing a site - how to do this with minimum damage to SEO for period of pause

                    Hi - Have a site that needs to be paused due to the current global pandemic. Their production is about to go into shut down for 4 weeks (minimum), which means they wont be able to fulfil any online orders. So what's the best way to pause the site, while minimising any long term impact to any SEO gains so far achieved? Banner / interstitial use informing of halted ordering Create a landing page on the site with long form content that the banner links to for customers to get more information about the temporary closure of site Removing add to cart, purchase and product pricing from product pages/site Anything else that should be considered here?  I've seen reference to  application 503, but don't think this is a good idea. Any advice is appreciated.

                    Merging Pages and SEO

                    Hi, We are redesigning our website the following way: Before: Page A with Content A, Page B with Content B, Page C with Content C, etc
                    e.g. one page for each Customer Returns, Overstocks, Master Case, etc
                    Now: Page D with content A + B + C etc.
                    e.g. one long page containing all Product Conditions, one after the other So we are merging multiples pages into one.
                    What is the best way to do so, so we don't lose traffic? (or we lose the minimum possible) e.g. should we 301 Redirect A/B/C to D...?
                    Is it likely that we lose significant traffic with this change? Thank you,

                    Is it bad for SEO to have a page that is not linked to anywhere on your site?

                    Hi, We had a content manager request to delete a page from our site. Looking at the traffic to the page, I noticed there were a lot of inbound links from credible sites. Rather than deleting the page, we simply removed it from the navigation, so that a user could still access the page by clicking on a link to it from an external site. Questions: Is it bad for SEO to have a page that is not directly accessible from your site? If no: do we keep this page in our Sitemap, or remove it? If yes: what is a better strategy to ensure the inbound links aren't considered "broken links" and also to minimize any negative impact to our SEO? Should we delete the page and 301 redirect users to the parent page for the page we had previously hidden?

                    Merging Niche Site

                    I posted a question about this a while ago, but still haven't pulled the trigger. I have a main site (bobsclothing.com). I also have a EM niche site (i.e shirtsmall.com). It would be more efficient for me to merge these site, because: I would have to manage content, promos, etc. on a single site. In other words, I can focus efforts on 1 site. If I am writing content, I don't have to split the work. I don't have to worry about duplicate content. Right now, if I enter a product URL into copyscape, the other sites is returned for many products. What makes me apprehensive are: The niche site actually ranks for more keywords than the main site, although it has lower revenue. Slightly lower PA, and DA. Niche site ranks top 20 for a profitable keyword that has about 1300 exact match searches. If you include the longer tail versions of the keyword it would be more. If I merge these sites, and do proper 301s (product to product, category to category) how likely is it that main site will still rank for that keyword? Am I likely to end up with a site that has stronger DA? Am I better off keeping the niche site and just focusing content efforts on the few keywords that it can rank well for? I appreciate any advice. If someone has done this, please share your experience. TIA

                    Is the eCommerce site Shopify SEO friendly?

                    We ave a prospect client that wants to start doing SEO for his Shopify site, we are unsure if this will be SEO friendly. Will we have enough control to get great placement? Are we better off rebuilding the site for the client in an OpenCart?

                    My domain name is free with my service with yahoo but it expires every year and gets extended automatically as I continue service, how does this impact my seo efforts? I've heard that the search engines prefer sites to expire in 3 years or more? Is this a fact?
