Local SEO Agency Suggestions

[ChaseH]

I've looked under the "recommended companies" tab of seomoz, but all of the SEO Agencies listed seem to be geared towards big businesses. Most of their contact pages have starting budgets that are way out of my league.

I do my own web-development and on-site SEO, but due to the demands of my job, I do not have the time needed to focus on link-building, and any other kind of content marketing (other than occasional guest blogging).

Can anyone recommend an individual or agency that can start with a $500 - $600 monthly budget and move up from there? My search terms are local to my city, and not all that competitive, just looking for someone who can help.

Thanks in advance for any recommendations.

Hi Chase,

Thanks, Keri, for the recommendation. Chase and I are now PMing one another and I will endeavor to offer him either personal service or a recommendation to someone I trust, depending on his specific needs.

Thanks for the suggestion. I've already tried Odesk and was pretty surprised. I've found great contractors on Odesk for a number of different projects, but not this time around. The only SEO that applied to my job (that I felt comfortable with) wanted to charge $1000 - $1500/month. Maybe I need to re-post the job.

"I can make some recommendations of people that can help you out for a smaller budget." - Do you have any personal references, or were you referring to Odesk?

Chase-

I can make some recommendations of people that can help you out for a smaller budget. A good place to go to find qualified people for smaller jobs is www.odesk.com. You can search for people with SEO/SEM/PPC experience. Make sure you look for people that have 5 stars and have at least 100 hours of work they have performed and make sure you check their customer testimonials to make sure they have delivered the same exact solutions and value that you are looking for.

Good luck. Hope this helps.

Mark
