I am looking for an SEO company/or individual to take control of my three websites....
-
Hello!
I am located in NYC and am actively searching for a company or individual to take control of my SEO. I have attempted to do this on my own and it is just too time consuming and technical for me to handle while also running my business.
I have been burned by SEO companies in the past so I am looking for someone reputable that can be trusted. I am in the service industry in an extremely competitive market.
I am hoping that I can find some recommendations on here on who might be able to assist me grow my online presence.
My websites do currently rank for several key words and as well as local packs. I am looking to expand on that and maintain current standings.
Please help!!!!

Hi there!
Thanks for posting in Q&A. It looks like you've gotten some solid tips!
That said, we really try to discourage posts that can be construed as job listings on this forum. If you're looking to post still, the Inbound.org job board is a great place.
I'm going to lock this thread to further responses. Thanks for understanding, and good luck on the search!

Your best bet is to look at the Moz list of reputable consultants: https://moz.com/rand/recommended-list-seo-consultants/
As with any professional that you're hiring, you need to do your due diligence and ask them questions and ask for referrals.

Moz has a recommended provider list though I believe it doesn't change a lot over the years.
My advice on this is typically the same every time - browse through Q&A, find people others agree with a lot and who seem to know a lot more than you about SEO, look into their profiles and hire from there.
There aren't a lot of great, reliable ways to test how much someone knows or what they can do for your business so a lot of this is based on trust and results. Just be careful in your selection and be reasonable in expectations for the budgets provided.

Try Michael Cottam. His details are on here somewhere. If he can't take it on, he should be able to refer you local.
Hope that assists.

I agree with you and I will definitely be doing my due diligence. I just need somewhere to start and searching for SEO companies on google is useless.
I figured that this being a community of reputable SEO's I may be pointed in the right direction here.

IMHO this is not the best way to go about finding a firm because you are going to get a lot of people saying they can help you and you still must be careful. Make sure you ask for and check references with businesses anyone says they have as clients or had as clients.

What does Disallow: /french-wines/?* actually do - robots.txt
Hello Mozzers - Just wondering what this robots.txt instruction means: Disallow: /french-wines/?* Does it stop Googlebot crawling and indexing URLs in that "French Wines" folder - specifically the URLs that include a question mark? Would it stop the crawling of deeper folders - e.g. /french-wines/rhone-region/ that include a question mark in their URL? I think this has been done to block URLs containing query strings. Thanks, Luke

Website architecture - levels vs filters and authority loss - Enterprise SEO
Hi Everyone, I am participating in the development of a marketplace website where the main channel will be traffic via SEO. We have encountered the directories (levels) vs filters situation. 1. Does everyone still agree that if we have too many levels, authority is loss as you do down through the levels? Does everyone agree that there should be a max of 3 levels and never 4. Example 1 www.domain.com/level1/level2/level3 vs www.domain.com/level1 In theory, the content on "level 3" will have a lower DA than the content on "level1". 2. Does everyone agree that for enterprise SEO (huge marketplace websites) filters are a better idea than levels? Example 2 www.domain.com/level1/level2/level3 vs www.domain.com/filter-option1 In theory, the content on "level 3" will have a lower DA than the content on "filter-option1". Thanks so much in advance

Canonicalized Website
We are new to SEO MOZ, and as we are doing our evaluation, multiple page problems have arisen. Our domain is www.moxicopy.com and www.moxicopy.com/blog. Our blog is wordpress hosted but integrated into our site. As we ran our analytics from MOZ PRO, we got TONS of Duplicate Page Title and Duplicate Page Content warnings, over 90 each. Most seem to come from our blog and our different products (we are an ecommerce website). Would the canonicalization of the pages be the cause? And couuld someone further explain exactly what canonical/canonicalization is>? I am very confused, and have a feeling that this is what has hurt our site so much in the last 2-3 weeks

I am looking for a list of SEO audit tools and strategies for a complex website. The things I am looking for include (but not limited to): finding all the subdomains of the website listing all the 301's, 302's, 404's, etc finding current canonical tags suggesting canonical tags for certain links listing / finding all current rel=nofollow's on the website listing internal links which use & don't use 'www.' finding duplicate content on additional domains owned by this website I know how to find some of the items above, but not sure if my methods are optimal and/or the most accurate. Thank you in advance for your input!

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 😞 Alastair
