        Surprised to hear that you got such question from designers.

        Configure Google webmaster tools first.

        http://www.google.com/webmasters/

        Download all the errors and recommendations to forward to any programmer/designer.

          Well it all depends on the errors.

          What you may have to do is tell the designer exactly what to do.

          Start with all the Errors from your SEOmoz report, broken pages (404), etc.  Provide the designer with this complete list (download the file) and have him start fixing them.

          Errors is what you need to worry about.  The only Warning I would really worry about is any 302s.

          Can you tell us how many of each you have.  (Errors, Warnings, and Notices)  and out of how many pages.

            A website developer should be familiar with warnings and recommendations from Adwords campaigns and Google in general. Not "every" thing they suggest is applicable to every site, but your developer should know enough to explain why or why not each issue has or has not been addressed.

            The "where did you get these" may actually be a fair question as he is trying to ascertain where he needs to investigate. If you gave me a list of warnings and suggestions about any of my sites I would also be prompted to ask where you got them from if you did not tell me "Somesite said this & that".

              Hi Salehwelli,

              Unfortunately, it sounds like your web designer may not be the best person to help you with your site. It's nice when web designers understand SEO and proper techniques, but this isn't always the case.

              It's hard to tell how serious these problems are without looking at your site. The fact is, if you can't take care of these yourself, you probably want to find someone who can. It sounds like you're overwhelmed at this point, which is understandable. So your 2 possible actions are these:

              1. Hire someone who understands SEO
              2. Begin learning what these errors mean

              I would say #2 is by far the most rewarding choice. 😉

              In most cases, SEO requires only a minimum knowledge of HTML and web structure to get started. So learning some basic HTML might be a good place for you to start.

              Tackle each error one at a time. Research the web to discover how each applies to your site, and dig deep to find what is causing it. The community here is tremendously supportive, and the web, and SEOmoz is a great resource.

              I'd start by reading everything in the Learn SEO section of SEOmoz. Also, it's a little old, but the Beginner's Checklist for Learning SEO is a great place to start.

              Hope this helps. Best of luck with your SEO!
