Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I have reached a placed where I now have several clients and we're charged closer to the $2k/month mark for our SEO services.  We normally partner with the client's inhouse copywriter or content person so that's a piece we don't have to take on in house...however we do provide content strategy for their person to execute.

I'm now at a place where I want to scale and offer link building but quality link building services.  I do it all myself and I really can't keep up with the time management and amount of labor that goes into quality link building.  We're not looking to outsource or pay $10/hr for link building as I know we won't get the quality and impact our client's want.

Can anyone speak to hiring people for SEO/Link building purposes for a small SEO agency?  Right now it's myself and 2 interns, but even the interns don't fully know SEO.  Just trying to figure out how best to proceed with scaling and how much to pay a part timer we bring in house.  Also....how on earth do you all manage link building projects for multiple clients.  I hope the $2K I'm charging is a fair rate...I feel like I should be charging more.

Does anyone know of classes or people who teach Google Tag Manager and how to use it effectively?

How can you increase the number of keywords you check for difficulty via the keyword difficulty score tool?  Can it even be done?

Are citations, NAP, Reviews, and other local search efforts impact traditional SEO listings?  Can one elaborate?

I think that's a good idea. They've indicated they primarily market through their own cpa middle market channel and do not market directly to companies, but I'm going to convince them to test the latter business model.

I have a potential client who is looking for a digital marketing strategy that targets other CPA's.  Essentially, they provide cost reduction/tax services that certain CPA's may not provide.  As you can imagine, the CPA's are searching for other CPA's with this type of service.

I was thinking social/email marketing to keep my company's brand at the top of mind of some of these other CPA's.  They have a national practice and can middle market cpa's around the country.  I am also gonna recommend they slightly modify their business model so they can reach out to other industry sectors (b2B).

Any insights on how to tackle this strategy?  What strategies would you consider for them?  Does anyone have any CPA's they do business with?  Thanks.

I am looking for a legal copywriter to write 400 - 600 word articles for me on various legal based articles.  In addition, I'm looking for other legit industry sectors.

Do you know of the legit "quality" sources to locate copywriters?  Let me know your thoughts.  Thanks.

I have 8 errors and 44 warnings last week.  Over the week, I corrected broken links, duplicate titles, meta tags, and duplicate page content.  Now after it was run again, I'm getting an N/A.

Does N/A mean there are NO errors at all on the site?  I didn't fix all of the errors and warnings but most I did.  My website is also up and running.  Please let me know if I'm missing something or if I did that good of a job for my client's on-page SEO stuff, which I doubt despite moving the needle forward.

Thanks

Great points.  Then after one has done keyword research, how does one work to rank for those keywords without anchor texts?  Particularly if you're submitting a press release.

Lastly, what if it was a story about how my client saved a family from bankruptcy and we go into details about the experience of the family?

I have a client with a simple bankruptcy website.  If I were to write a press for him using prweb or prnewswire, what are the types of topics I can write about that will allow the content to be picked up by newsoutlets and potential go viral?

Also, should I have multiple anchor texts linking back to my client's website in the press release or just one?  Are there other ways to get credit for the press release outside of creating anchor texts int he write-up itself?
