Recommend a Freelancer or Company
-
Hi,
Can anyone recommend a freelance SEO consultant or company in the UK, who have proven results and don't cost a fortune?
We deal with very small businesses, who want to get some traction on the search engines, but can't afford much per month.
Or are the days of $250 a month contracts gone, because of the work involved now?
Any help appreciated.

No problem Barney good luck!

Thanks iPositions - we are in discussion with a few people at the moment and ideally looking for someone closer to home - so I will get back to you if we need any more help.

Hey Barney I'd be happy to have a chat with you if you have the time, We deal with loads of UK clients at that price range. If you message me your number I'll give you a call (and show you some proof :))

Hey Barney
There is just no one size fits all answer. If you want to email over a couple of your clients details, keywords they are targeting etc then I can take a look.
There are just so many variables but in most cases, for small, local businesses, just doing the basics and going after regional keywords and the like usually does the job.
Happy to take a look at anything you have and give you some specific feedback for individual jobs.

Hey Marcus,
Thanks for your response.
The clients we are dealing with will generally post a few news articles and are maybe doing a bit social, but they don't want to have too much involvement.
They generally just want to get some results for some fairly non-competitive keywords.
My problem is I don't really have the time to dedicate to the monthly work, so we are looking for a company we can out-source to.
One example is www.stratfordenergy.co.uk.
But essentially - yes - they basically want to spend a few hundred a month and see some results on Google. So maybe the bugger question is - is this just not a realistic option with all the recent changes to Google and SEO world?

Hey Barney
It really depends on what you are looking for here? Do you have existing sites that are adding content and just need a half day of consultancy a month to make sure they have their on page and technical SEO ducks in a row - OR - are you hoping that these clients can do nothing to their sites and just throw £150 a month at someone and that will improve their rank (by whatever means).
For a lot of small or local business, just getting everything set up right with local search in mind can be enough but as ever, it's a horses for courses approach and there is no one size fits all, SEO product that can be applied.
Any examples of the type of customers you have?

Time to Separate Company Websites or Keep it on One Domain?
Hey Everyone! I am completely stumped with what I should do for the scenario I find myself in… I’m hoping with your experience, you could guide me into the right direction. Let’s say our current website is Brown.com (Brown Group Inc.). We have a splash page, which links to two subfolders Brown Minerals (Brown.com/Minerals) and Brown Pet Products (Brown.com/Pet). Both of these are separate companies but owned by Brown Group Inc. Each company specializes in different industries, sell different products, have different customers and have different marketing. The only common thing the two companies have is the brand name “Brown” and owned by the same person. Brown Group Inc.

(Brown.com) Brown Minerals
(Brown.com/Minerals) Brown Pet Products
(Brown.com/Pet) I work specifically for Brown Minerals. It is my job to develop a new website, build traffic to our website, improve our SEO rankings and to build the Brown Minerals online brand. I am afraid that the work I will be putting into building our online brand may not be as effective since we share the same domain name with Brown Pet Products, which their website is outdated, they have their own traffic, links, etc. specifically for their products & industry. My question is, should we keep both websites in subfolders on the existing domain name or should we separate the websites and put them on their own domain names (BrownMinerals.com and BrownPetProducts.com)? Thank you0 -

Small Business SEO Recommendations
I work for a company that manages websites for several hundred small businesses. We do a good job with on-site optimization but don't do any link building for our clients. Occasionally, clients are in desperate need of links and ask us for recommendations. I've had a tough time finding a balance between quality consultants and affordable prices. I understand that link building campaigns, in general, carry a hefty price tag, but of our clients can't afford any of the big name agencies. We've also had a few of our clients get burned recently by bad link building and I don't want to point them in the wrong direction. Does anyone have any recommendations for companies or freelance consultants that do good work without breaking the bank? Thanks! Tim

SEO Agency Recommendations
I'm looking for recommendations for SEO agencies for an e-commerce site in the cell phone accessories niche. The list of companies recommended by SEO Moz are out of our budget, as we are looking to stay under $3k/month. Looking for an agency that will focus especially on link building efforts, as there has been minimal white-hat link building implemented for the site in the past. Many of the agencies we've talked to are relying entirely too much on easy wins like directory submissions and we are looking for an agency that will be able to garner us quality links as opposed to a huge amount of mediocre links. Any recommendations for reasonably-priced, quality SEO agencies? Thanks!

What is the SEO term for Tree Search Engine results when we lookup for a company?
Hi Folks, I have a newbie question: When I do a Google search for: SEOmoz i get a SERP for SEOmoz in a form of a Tree, on the other hand if I search another company, let's say PAF.ca I get individual page results on google. Question is: What is the difference between the two, and how do we usually ask Google to display results of a Company name in the form of a tree or Main Category with Subpages in the SERP when looking for that company name. For my Visual Friends, Please find attached a Print screens that could explain my question a bit more. eAQpw.jpg
