Best SEO agency
-
What are peoples thoughts and ratings on SEO agencies in London. There are so many of them it is hard to understand which are the best.
-
NEVER go on whats in the SERPs. Get recommendations - so MOz is a good place to start.
Why not look for the really technical SEO posts on moz and then approach those companies? I can recommend Distilled
You could look at the http://moz.com/community/users users board and pick someone from London that has a ton of points - this indicates they have been helpful to the SEO community over a number of years. I'm at 21 and I am based in London. Marcus Miller is at 12 and he is based in Birmingham
There is also a MOZ recommended list http://moz.com/community/recommended

We too are also going though a similar problem, we started with searching in google and looking at who came top for search queries like "SEO Company London" a bit obvious I know but we figured if they cam e top for a search result like that they might actually be good at it.
However after much pondering and toing a throwing and being general amazed at the cost of such an engagement, we decided to start to create our own SEO strategy. After we got clear on what the strategy was we then became clear on what we needed to do and a project plan started to form.
We then started to look at what we could do ourselves in a short space of time to start the SEO ball rolling.
Simple stuff like meta tags, sitemaps and page content relevancy need lots of work. so we set about doing this first, after all if your content is not right you don't want it on the search engines yet.We have now since decided to employ our own in house SEO team and believe that is the best way forward especially for getting the biggest bang for your £.
But we did not realise any of this until we had worked out our own SEO strategy and saw the bigger picture. So the point is think hard first about your strategy and find what fits best. Ask some of the SEO companies to come up with a strategy that they would use for your site and see how it compares to your own vision, If they share it then they could be the SEO team for you.
It is a scary world out there with so Many SEO companies after your ££££
However that said If anyone has a good unbiased referral to a hard working white hat SEO agency I would also be interested.Thank you

Travelling & SEO?
Hi Everybody, I had no idea where to post this online and i thought SEOmoz was an awesome place to start! 🙂 I own a small digital marketing agency in the UK, i started it when i was 17 and i have won a number of awards from young entrepreneur of the year and i have worked with some large organisations. At the moment i am currently 21 and i have always wanted to go travelling and see the world. I have told my clients that i am going travelling and some are staying with me and some are leaving due to them liking that human contact / meet ups. what is totally fine. In October i am travelling around Australia and i was wondering if anybody has done anything like this before? I have always wanted to do it and keep coming up with excuses why i can't do it, but im just going to go for it!!!! I was thinking that i could travel from city to city working for different SEO agencies, i mainly work as a consultant because i find it extremely easy to start talking to people and generate leads. Do you think it would be better to work for somebody or pitch that im on my own travelling and can do it remotely. I can see why it wouldn't appeal to a agency to take somebody one as "part-time" and for somebody who could "steal" their business, im guessing i could get a contract together explaining that i will not work with any leads generated for their business? How would you go about getting work / getting paid? I have some websites what make income from absence but nothing life changing... just a few ££ per month. Any advice from anybody who has been travelling / done something like before would be extremely loved by me! 🙂 THANK YOU!!!!!! 🙂

Post your favorite SEOs for Mom and Pop Shops
I'm trying to compile a list of SEOs and/or Inbound Marketers that specialize in helping micro-businesses. For the purposes of this study 'micro' means any business with 5 or fewer employees. Names are great. Website URLs would be Fab. Twitter accounts would be super Fab. For instance: David Mihm http://www.davidmihm.com/ @davidmihm I'd be happy to share the final list with anyone who provides a name.

Is it OK to discuss SEO for an adult site?
Hey guys, I run a few big tube sites and sales pages that contain adult material. I'm also new to these forums, so before I do anything that might be considered rude or innapropriate, I wanted to know what the stance was on asking for advice related to the SEO of my adult sites and/or posting links. I've read the Etiquette disclaimer, however, I don't actually intend to post images or anything of the sort, only ask for your opinions and preferred strategies. If its completely frowned upon, then I completely understand and will never bring the subject back up again. Cheers and Happy to be amongst you all!

How to Educate my Company About SEO
Hey Mozzers, I'm currently faced with a situation that I believe is probably quite common in the SEO industry. I'd like to get the input of the SEOMoz community to see how others have handled this situation and how I can use that to help my company and of course myself in this process 🙂 Here's the dealio. I recently obtained a position at a fairly large company ($500 million annually) with the task of being our Lead SEO, which I am loving, but am finding one thing to be a big hurdle to our success. Essentially no one here has any pre-existing knowledge about what SEO and inbound marketing are. There are a few younger folks who understand some of it, and a few of those who I work with on a daily basis are starting to get it, but I fear that many of the folks on our webteam and even higher up do not understand the value of SEO, the implications of certain things the webteam does to our website, and moreso the value of me being here as the sole SEO expert. I'm wondering if anyone else out there has been in a similar situation and how I might be able to effectively instill a culture of SEO within my company to get people to think about SEO before they do things. My first goal is to ensure people think about SEO before making changes to our site. My second goal is for them to see the power of proper SEO, thus proving how valuable I am to the company. Thoughts anyone?
