I need an SEO Specialist to take a look at a few things for me

[co.mc]

I need to hire an SEO specialist technician to take a look at a few things under the hood that I can't seem to figure out... is this the right place to ask for this type of paid help?

Hi,

You can check the list of recommended companies Moz created here: http://moz.com/article/recommended

Hope that helps!

From the research I did, the "recommended companies" on the Moz list are all fantastic, but are all geared towards working with large business on long monthly contracts.

If you just need some quick help I suggest doing this:

1. do a few searches here for terms related to your issue

2. check the profiles of those responded with intelligent answers - some of them will be with small SEO agencies

3. contact them, explain your problem, and ask for a quote to resolve it

Good luck!

Gregory, unfortunately, if you would like to succeed you will "need" those monthly contracts. There's no way to have success with short term contracts. If a company offers a "1 month SEO boost" you can be almost sure your site will be ruined the very next month you see a boost in your rankings. SEO should be done for the long run.

Moz lists there several companies, some do offer services only for large businesses but some do also offer for small businesses. Just need to do some research and ask for quotes.

Hi Fedrico. I agree with you when the need is for ongoing SEO work. But the original poster said:

_..._hire an SEO specialist technician to take a look at a few things under the hood that I can't seem to figure out...

Which I understand to mean he has a couple of puzzling technical issues he needs help with. Those can sometimes be straightened out quickly.

I agree that ideally SEO should be a continuous process, but certain issues can be rectified or improvements made to websites that will have a positive impact long after the initial time it takes to make any changes.

My advice would be to ask a couple of questions here on the Moz forum to see if we can help you out.

If you do decide to hire an SEO, Google has some advice here: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/35291?hl=en

You may also go public and ask your questions here, you would be able to figure it out by variety of comments.

upon resolution you can edit and remove your personal information, or may request staff to delete!

Hi Federico... I didn't do a good job at explaining in more detail, but we are doing ongoing SEO... we just ran into a specific problem that we never encountered before, so we were looking for someone that had technical SEO experience that would be able to help us.

Having said that, I completely agree that every site should perform SEO on a continuous basis (i.e. monthly contract or some type of internal SEO initiative - or a combination of both).

Hello Salman,

Moz staff does not step in to delete questions unless there has been obvious spam or someone's privacy has been violated. Deleting a question is unfair to everyone who volunteered their time to write an answer, only to have their work (and moz points) removed.

It's best to be cautious and only say as much as you are comfortable with saying in the first place.

Thanks Keri, I figured that
