Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions. I'm working on A and B now and should roll out the changes in the next couple of weeks
This has been very helpful and I'll look at my SEO on a monthly basis instead of a weekly.

RE: Hire a SEO contractor for a small company.posted in Jobs and Opportunities
Thank you. I guess I don't want my company to be penalized for inappropriate SEO activity. The only way I know that a vendor is delivering quality is by measuring the results with statistics. I know that SEO has much to do with art as it does science. My problem is accountability and transparency.
Is it taboo to ask for references in the SEO world?

Hire a SEO contractor for a small company.posted in Jobs and Opportunities
I have a small company that has struggled over the past three years to get on its feet. We've finally made it in the retail sector building a nice client base and delivering beyond what is expected.
I'm trying not to make mistakes and have been doing the SEO on my own with a SEO word pack plug in for our Wordpress site and all the training videos I could handle from SEOMOZ and Hubspot (forever grateful). I have a list of 200 key words and only a handful are on the first page, but with that it has meant the difference between getting paycheck for not.
It's now time for us to hire an expert. Here's what I want.
1. Quality back links with a MOZ grade higher than mine.
2. All the errors fixed in my site that I don't understand from the reports generated by the MOZ tool.
3. A weekly report of the sites that have created a link and its MOZ ranking.
4. Ongoing support and tracking of progress with no black hat techniques.
5. 3 client references with a name and number that I can speak to.
Am I asking too much? I'm told that client information is confidential and couldn't be release. If I'm in a completely different sector of retail, would that matter?
What questions should I be asking? If you were me, what would you do?
