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.

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?

When a company lets you go, what is the standard practice for a moz account? Do you simply turn it over and lose all access and moz identity? Or?
Since MOZ is a community, it seems odd to simply turn over my moz account now the company has let me go. Do people typically do this and simply start a new account every time they work someplace new? Or what? I wanted to seek out what the community thought about this -- so that I would have a better idea of how to handle this now and for the next time.

Is it currently possible to have a company logo appear with a Google search result?
Hello, We're experimenting with rich snippets. It seems fairly easy to attain authorship through Google and have a headshot appear in a search result... However, we are wondering if it is possible to have a company logo appear (perhaps through rel="publisher"?). Surprisingly, I can't find much info on this. Thanks!

What is the most current advice on editing your company Wikipedia page?
I've noticed a lot of incorrect and misleading information on our company Wikipedia page. Should we, as a company, be actively monitoring and updating this page when we spot factual errors. I realize wikipedia doesn't want marketeze or heavy PR on company pages, but those are the people that generally pay attention to wikipedia entries. Also, we certainly don't want to get penalized or cause any undue media attention from our edits. If possible can you also offer links to other sources rather than just opinion or personal experience, I'm having to present this to a large corporate board and want to be as detailed as possible. Thank you,

Choosing an SEO Company
Hi Guys, My first question for the forum. So here's my question, everyone in here has something to do with seo, but how would you choose an seo company. There are many a wild claim made by so many companies. Having done seo on our portfolio for about 6 years, however now I just dont have the time to spend. In my initial inquires I have asked for examples of their work and run a back link analysis to see the kind of links they have been building for their clients but so far all I have found is a load of directory links and no real innovation. I would be interested in your thoughts of how to sound out some companies. Thanks Alex

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

Any recommendation for UK based hosting company?
Hi everyone, I am looking for a good hosting company for my site and clients sites. I need shared hosting not dedicated one. I ve been using 1&1 , they are great but their server is in Germany. So I believe its not good for SEO. So I need a company whose server is in UK. Thanks in advance.

Setting up a Company Blog - Subdomain or new URL?
I've just got hold of a client without a blog (a blog is very marketable for their industry especially!). But run into the dilemma - Is it better to set up a new domain ("clientblog.com") with separate hosting or create a subdomain ("blog.clienturl.com")? Has anyone ever done a study on this and which is most beneficial? Most importantly has anyone had success with either? Thanks!
