Hiring an SEO company
-
I usually do SEO myself but now its time to move on to getting on with running the business. I have found a fantastic PPC company who ONLY focus on PPC and am looking for same but for SEO.
Must be based in UK and have a great portfolio of mid/large tier companies with some real life stats to back them up.
Pricing must be clear and transaparent. Results must be measurable.
How would you find such a company? Ironically searching on Google doesn't seem to produce the right results

I had a terrific experience with Zeno SEO on a very tricky and delicate assignment. I am in Canada, Zeno is in the UK and client was mutlt-national.
You can talk to owner, Tom, on the phone quite easily when required and he always respond to email within 24 hours. More importantly, he under promises and over delivers. Very professional and a pleasure to work with -- including cool headed response to some minor crises along the way.

In my opinion, what you should do, is to call yourself some of these companies and talk with their techie director/ceo/seo director. If you know seo yourself, you gonna see fast who knows, who says they know and who doesn't know. Also you can discover lot of useful info about the company, the method/s and such interesting things + comparing these with well-kwnown SEO's around you, like those Wissam wrote for example.
After that is just up to your criteria + the budget/prices

"Ironically searching on Google doesn't seem to produce the right results :-("
OUCH!!
We're nice and high on G for "SEO Company" or at least we were until a couple of days ago when we suddenly got zapped back to 11th
I know what you mean though, some of the highest results are there through monstrous levels of spammy links, and I would be dis-honest if I said that when we were in 5th the other day there were no such links involved on our part (sorry people, I'm well against it but we did have a little dark period at one stage).
I think you just need to ensure that when they say they're an SEO company, that means they cover all of SEO, not just a shred of it (which some do). The suggestions people have given on here are known to be awesome so I'd get on their quote forms

You're asking in the right place now. I would suggest SEOmoz's http://www.seomoz.org/marketplace but its also not really trustworthy. Personal recommendations here are your best bet. Give us an idea of the industry, where in the UK you are based and rough budget
I do SEO for http://www.iln.co.uk/work/ in Spitalfields
Not your typical SEO company, we are completely content lead as a result of 170 years as a magazine company Check out my bio and PM if your around London for a coffee
Cheers

CDN for SEO (or not)?
Does CDN impact on SEO or not? There seems conflicting ideas as to whether they impact positively or negatively, I realise that if the page loads quicker this is a good thing for SEO and usability of course. Does Google see CDN as just cheating and a get-around for not doing the work from the ground up and using good hosting etc? Do you have any direct experience? All constructive input much appreciated!

How good or bad is this for SEO?
I will try to make this as clear as possible. We represent the yellow pages - www.visalietuva.lt

For every single company that is listed we have Creditworthiness - that helps to find information about their payment history and their business status. It's pretty useful. An example could be found here: http://www.visalietuva.lt/en/company/dizrega-uab/creditworthiness Some companies that are proud of their result started putting Iframe on their pages:
http://dizrega.lt/lt/kontaktai/firmos-rodikliai We noticed this on Google Webmasters, when new links started to appear.
So we are not sure if this is good for SEO? Of course this is good for our Google Analytics:))
If this is good, maybe we should send offer for our clients, that we can help to put iframe like this for free, for people who are not able to do it themselves. Your opinions please!0 -
Subdomains + SEO
Hi everyone, So a little background - my company launched a new website (http://www.everyaction.com). The homepage is currently hosted on an amazon s3 bucket while the blog and landing pages are hosted within Hubspot. My question is - is that going to end up hurting our SEO in the long run? I've seen a much slower uptick in search engine traffic than I'm used to seeing when launching new sites and I'm wondering if that's because people are sharing the blog.everyaction.com url on social (which then wouldn't benefit just everyaction.com?) Anyways, a little help on what I should be considering when it comes to subdomains would be very helpful. Thanks, Devon

Should I NoFollow Links Between Our Company Websites?
The company I work for owns and operates hundreds of websites throughout the United States. Each of these is tied to a legitimate local business many times with specific regional branding and mostly unique content. All of our domains are in pretty good shape and have not ever participated in any shady link building/SEO. These sites currently are often linking together between the other sites within their market. It makes perfect sense from a user standpoint since they would have an interest in each of the sites if they were interested in the specific offering that business had. My question is whether or not we should nofollow the links to our other sites. Nothing has happened from Google in terms of penalties and they don't seem to be hurting our sites now as they are all currently followed, but I also don't want to be on the false positive side of any future algorithm updates surrounding link quality. What do you think? Keep them followed or introduce nofollow?

Are Silos Still Important for SEO?
I am in the process of migrating www.nyc-officespace-leader.com from Drupal to Wordpress and my developer is of the opinion that it is not necessary to implement silos to achieve favorable ranking for competitive keywords. I know a lot has changed in the last two years with Panda and Penguin. Is it SEO best practices to implement silos in the course of the redesign? Will this make a significant difference for SEO? Thanks, Alan Rosinsky

Real Estate Local SEO
My site hovers on page 2 of google for the key search phrase. I have a blog that gets updated often, I have genuine links coming in, I promote on all social media channels, I do email campaigns, I have a site map, I have my local address on what I believe are the most important sites like Yelp, Manta, Google Local etc. All this and my site is still on page 2 while other sites with less of everything are on page 1. What is missing?
