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.

I've got duplicate pages. For example, blog/page/2 is the same as author/admin/page/2\. Is this something I should just ignore, or should I create the author/admin/page2 and then 301 redirect?
I'm going through the crawl report and it says I've got duplicate pages. For example, blog/page/2 is the same as author/admin/page/2/ Now, the author/admin/page/2 I can't even find in WordPress, but it is the same thing as blog/page/2 nonetheless. Is this something I should just ignore, or should I create the author/admin/page2 and then 301 redirect it to blog/page/2?

SEO Best Practice for a multi-language and multi-country website
Hello Moz Community, I hope someone could help me identify the best action to take on an on-page optimization confusion I am currently having. The website I am currently trying to optimize is http://www.riafinancial.com/locations/us/home.aspx. There is an option to view a country specific version of the page, or language version (there are 2 drop down menus on the top, for country or for language). When viewing a country specific version of the page, the URL changes depending on country selected. Some country versions also updates the content to the language of that country, but some remain English. Example, when viewing the France version of the page (http://www.riafinancial.com/locations/FR/home.aspx), the content is updated to french version, but when viewing the China version (http://www.riafinancial.com/locations/CN/home.aspx), the content is in English. This is because we have not yet translated for all countries (this will eventually be all translated). Now, when viewing by language, the URL does NOT change. Example, in http://www.riafinancial.com/locations/us/home.aspx, you can choose French, German, Italian, Polish, etc. The content of the page will change based on language chosen, but the URL (including page titles, meta-descriptions) will not change. My question is, how should I approach this for on-page optimization? Canonical? Hreflang? Any input, feedback, recommendation, suggestion will be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Sharon

If other websites implement our RSS feed sidewide on there website, can that hurt our own website?
Think about the switching anchors from the backlinks and the 100s of sidewide inlinks... I gues Google will understand that it's just a RSS feed right?

Local SEO for a community.
How would one go about best doing local SEO for a townhome community? It seems to fall in between the traditional imformational SEO and the brick and mortar, G+ page model. There seems to be no way to attack the NAP, directory and traditional citation model for a certain region they build in. Any thoughts?

Where to begin (SEO-wise) with my Website?
Hello, We hired a company to design an e-commerce website for us. Along the way they did some initial SEO design, but we are clearly a long way from where we need to be. I'm not a web-designer or a knowledgeable SEO person. I have the website linked to webtools, google analytics and obviously this site as well. I've been toying with the idea of just trying to accomplish some SEO myself, but the more I read about SEO, the more daunting it seems. I'm a full-time military pilot, so this seems like it involves more time than I have to give. Where do I begin? My Website www.phoenixprintingsolutions.com Thanks in advance

Mobile SEO
Hey, In the following article, Google recommended using a 301 redirect but doesn't specify why. http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.co.uk/2011/02/making-websites-mobile-friendly.html I assume this is to pass over link equity to the relevant mobile/desktop variation. Can anyone confirm this? Also is there any other reason? Again assuming this would keep the correct URLs in the correct index? Anything else anyone can chip in would be great. Thanks
