Hey Marko,

So is this site yours? What are you trying to achieve with a scroll bar that isn't already being crawled by Google?

If you click here, you can see the cached text version of the page that shows all of the content.

b) Can it truly just be that simple?

No, a scroll bar won't help with search rankings. There will be much more at play.

a) What does he mean by that?

I am not entirely sure to be honest - but I think it's besides the point either way (keep reading)

b) Can it truly just be that simple?

What Andy said - nope, there are much bigger factors at play

c) Can I use the same layout when some pays and just chance the button direction?

d) If there is anything else you see that needs changes. I will be forever grateful.

Absolutely - here's some blunt high-level advice:

• The design could really use some work. This could just be my opinion, but users really want to trust websites. Design can convey (or hurt) trust. The site looks old and outdated, and I'm just not sure users will trust the content, and further really enjoy and like the site. The design needs to reflect the quality and recency of information you have and the overall brand experience.
• Expand into other marketing channels - what else do you have going on besides SEO? You want to become a known "brand" that when people think of 'film crew jobs" they think of going directly to ICREWZ instead of Google. Be better than Google for users to find these niche listings. This might take (aside from a design upgrade), other marketing - anything - be where your target audience is - maybe that's social (instagram??), podcasts, video is a huge one - I'd expand beyond two YouTube videos and do way more there. Maybe it means also facebook ads and/or PPC.  In other words - build an audience somewhere/anywhere. You're posting just basically a feed of job listings etc on social - instead, do that only 20% of the time and the rest of the time work on building engagement and an audience .
• You actually have people using the site yes? Leverage all those relationships and customer base to promote your site. Maybe they have websites, blogs, channels, YouTube shows etc etc - how can you partner with them to get in front of their audiences. I'd also ask your existing customer base about problems they are having and then creating that blog content for them to help solve their issues.

All that stuff - and much more I didn't mention - will feed back into your SEO success much more than scrolling
