      I've debated on whether I should ask this on the Q&A forum.  Many times I have started to write it, then changed my mind.  So today, after sending another round of emails out to potential SEM and SEO consultants and getting zero response, I said what the heck and decided to post it.

      I will point the finger at myself and say I must be doing something wrong in my approach and the way I am seeking out consultants or maybe what I am not saying.  However, I cannot seem to get SEO companies to return my phone calls or emails.  Is my company too small? Are most of the companies recommended here too busy with other  work to worry about following up?  Is my company and brand not sexy enough to deal with?  Am I coming across wrong in my emails and phone calls?

      With that being said, I decided to write a post here and clearly state some basic and general requirements in hope someone interested will respond.  I would be more than happy to answer and specific questions about my company, budget, etc. in a PM.

      I am looking for an SEO firm or consultants who:

      1. Will deal with small businesses with revenue under $2M. I have budgeted for this and am ready to start a project immediately.

      2. Have experience and a successful track record working with eCommerce sites who sell a large number of products.

      3. Interested in a long term relationship that will produce long lasting, durable results.

      4. Try to understand my business and what it will take to make grow my ONLINE profitability.

      I look forward to speaking to anyone interested.

      Jake

          I don't have any suggestions to offer you at the moment, but I'm baffled that you are having this much trouble. You are willing to pay for a service... that should be all it takes! I work in SEO for a company, not an SEO company. Therefore I can't help you. But if I were freelance or working for a marketing consultant I would have replied to your email within an hour of receiving it!

          What in the world is going on...! Good luck to you. I think posting your query here was a good move, ultimately. At least no harm can come of it.

            Hi John and thank you for the response.  I was not very clear in my post but my frustration stemmed from querying companies on the recommended page.

              Oh sorry 🙂

              As Jesse says, that's surprising to hear ...

                Thanks Jesse.

                Hey, I accept that my approach in how I am communicating could be way off.  Maybe people could respond and let me know that a company as small as mine just isn't worth the response but I am surprised.

                I have written emails to approximately 10 different recommended companies, whether through a direct PM or through the contact us page on their website and have gotten ZERO responses over the last 4 days.--sounds like I am in the wrong business!

                  I don't think your company is too small at all. Revenue under 2 million?! Please and thank you!

                  Goodness.. Are SEO firms truly that busy right now? Or is it laziness? What's goin on here, people?!

                    Hi Jake,

                    I am new to using Moz as a product, and SEO is a continued learning experience for me.

                    I would be happy to work with you so that you can come back to this question and tell these guys how I helped you, not just because I am a kick ass SEO but a customer service ninja.

                    I am not concerned by your budget, but interested in your current approach and the results you are receiving.

                    Kind Regards

                    Jeremy
