Great SEO Agency

[BestRide]

Hi again all,

I have appreciated all the help from the community as we are rebuilding our site.  Currently we are looking for a great SEO consulting firm to help us with a number of key SEO related tasks and strategies.  I have looked through the recommended list MOZ provides: http://moz.com/community/recommended, but I wanted to get everyone's take on who they thought was the "best" - on that list or otherwise.  We are looking for an agency that can help us optimize the site, create an ongoing strategy, help with link building, help with sitemap creation and management (5 million + pages, primarily dynamic)  and possibly help with content.

Anyone have recommendations they could share?

Thanks

David

based on everything i have seen, and if you have millions of pages. you cannot go wrong with Distilled.

Major respect for them! They know their stuff, and they are super good at preaching what they do as well. which means what they do must  be the cream of the crop.

just my 2 cents, really do not know very many of them, but I can tell you these guys are true pros.

Well I think when you say "possibly help with content" you are on the right track but you should focus more on which of these agencies can DEFINITELY help with content, because most of the other things you are looking for (google placement, site traffic, etc) are all results of awesome content creation and curation. That's what the best SEM agency will do for you.

Personally I am partial to Portent and Distilled because I know some of the fine people there and they are so awesome at all of the aforementioned and more. They have true authorities on the matter working for and running their companies. They are top-dollar, however, but worth every penny.

Honestly they are not the end-all be-all. There are many great SEM companies out there. That list is a great place to start. But mostly I just wanted to say you should really think about who can create the right kind of content for your brand and help you develop your messaging best.
