    Can anyone recommend a good on-site SEO to audit a website?

    Hey yall! The business I work for has seen huge drops in SEO traffic over time. I am looking after the link building while we have no one to focus on the on site. I'm looking for someone to do a full audit of our website, but as someone who's been in the industry, I know finding the right...

    SEO issue, need second opinion

    Can I just add that eventually I will be adding content to the town pages, so this would be a stop gap until it's done.

    SEO issue, need second opinion

    I am the content manager for a property rental firm. Hypothetically lets say its a letting agent. I recently took a look at the website and have come across a bit of an issue that I need a second opinion on. Basically, we have the homepage -> regions -> towns -> properties in the heirachy...

    best way to get backlinks

    If you work with external companies/suppliers, you could approach them and ask to write a testimonial for their website - with a link pointing to your website to show that you are a real person. If the company you're working with is a small or medium sized business, they are about 75% likely...

    What are the best ways to market a creative agency on a low budget?

    That would be me, and I don't see anything wrong with doing this. I know a lot of business owners, and they would happily pay £200 to make sure they don't go with someone who is going to destroy their company.

    Needed: A SEO company review site

    They should believe me because I'm making the same amount regardless of who they choose, and if I were to be impartial then people would soon find out about it. I think it would work better with smaller companies who don't have knowledge on the subject. Plus the less the budget is, the more...

    Needed: A SEO company review site

    It's companies like this that had made me set up what I'm setting up. It's not a review site but if I can help a handful of companies choose someone who won't screw up their SEO then it's a job well done.

    best way to get backlinks

    Unfortunately people think this way because of dodgy SEO companies spamming. If done properly, commenting can not only bring you traffic, but it can create lots of link building opportunities. It's the same with social conversations. How many companies (even agencies who are paid a shed load)...

    I could bet my bottom dollar you are talking about <removed>. They charged a previous client of mine £1000 to add the cookie notification message. Complete scum.

    best way to get backlinks

    I agree with you, but I think Media Guy meant that usually when an SEO company offers this as part of their service, they usually just write stuff like 'I agree', or pretty much things that don't contribute. I always advise clients to do the blog and forum commenting themselves. At the end of...

    Needed: A SEO company review site

    The only thing that I could call on to prove that I am knowledgeable is previous client testimonials and results. I have plenty of these. I'm not saying I know absolutely everything about search, but I'm able to spot a rogue SEO from a mile away. Obviously the client would always have the...

In order to build links on good websites with a strong following, you have to create something that the readership of said websites will find interesting. The better the quality of website, the more interesting and helpful the content has to be...

    Needed: A SEO company review site

    I'm a bit late to this thread but it's very relevant to something I'm starting up in the new year and will hopefully do some good in the industry. I've been around the block for a few years in SEO, and have lost count of all the penalties, disavows and fixing link profiles I've had to do, so...
