How to find a skilled SEO sparing partner

[nm1977]

We are in need of a skilled SEO sparring partner to work with.

We have already done a lot of SEO optimization but the results has not been as good as we hoped.

I believe that might be some issues regarding structure or backlinks holding us back from getting results as I can see many competitors with almost no on page optimization or quality backlinks ranking better than us.

I want to find someone who can audit our page find the problems. Also set some guidelines on what we should fix and work on to improve the overall rankings fast.

Thanks!

What are your expectations for the work that has been done so far and what has been focused on so far?

Hi Martin

We worked on page SEO and created special pages for a list of 25 keywords.

We also optimized the speed and responsiveness of the page.

We are the most active on Social Media of our competitors

We also started working on Backlinks and I feel when I compare our profile we have link of the same quality as the top ranking sites.

I fear that there is some structure or technical issues or something with the backlink profile that cause we don’t rank as well as I hope.

We are ranked between no. 11 to 30 on the 25 keywords and the goal would be to get half of the keywords in top 10 within 2 months.

As far as my experience goes you are looking for a person who can audit your website and pinpoint the areas that are week and more importantly answer the question that why your competitors that haven’t really done any on-page is ranking better than you.

Once done with that, you obviously want them to work on the project accordingly. My idea is to look for the list of service providers that are recommended by Moz: http://moz.com/article/recommended

Another option could be to meet service providers in your local area and have one-to-one conversation about your website. Ask them some tough questions and if they are answering satisfied question my idea is to go with them.
