How do I know that I won't get scammed when I hire someone to do SEO for my website?

I know that SEO can take months to get results. But before that, what kind of progress should I ask every week or every month so I know that some kind of work is actually happening on my website? Both for on-page and off-page SEO.

I hired someone before and it turned out he was a scammer. He told me that it will take at least 6 months to see some progress. 1 month for on-page and 5 months for off-page. But even after 4 months, nothing was done on my website. I didn't even get 1 view.

Whenever I asked for some kind of progress, he told me that off-page SEO doesn't have any report but he's doing the work. He showed me things he did for the on-page tho.

I don't know what parts are true and what parts are not. As a professional SEO expert (or even someone new) what kind of progress do you show your client when you do on-page and off-page SEO? And how can I be sure that those things actually happened on my website?

I'm sorry for the bad English.

Local seo vs. natiowide seo?

I've done SEO for local businesses but I recently got my first client that sells an item nation wide. ​ Any suggestions for doing nationwide SEO? ​ I am used to making geopages for local towns. I was going to do the same with some input from the client about what cities or towns he would like to show up in? submitted by /u/Letmeinterviewyou [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News http://bit.ly/2JHy0k0

Clients site has a weird issue with 302 redirects that I haven't seen before.

Site is in Drupal, hosted on Amazon CDN & Cloudflare. So here's a quick breakdown: The site itself works normally. It's a bit dated, but you can click on links and navigate around as you'd expect. Seeing no obvious issues, I run a Screaming Frog crawl to begin my audit. Only 5 pages were picked up by the crawl which was super weird, since all internal links are regular html and there shouldn't be any issues. So I go through the site and manually collect a bunch of URLs, which I submit to SF again as a list. Every single link bar the 5 originally crawled return a 302, with the 'redirect' pointing back to the home page. Except as I said, those pages don't browser redirect. Browser side, they work fine. I guess they redirect the crawl bot though, since the rest of the site is functionally invisible. Other tools I've looked at say that the pages return simultaneous 302 and 200s, which doesn't make too much sense. These 302s are also old enough ...
