If you had $3-5k a month for pure SEO, who would you hire or request a bid from?

No one on our team has professional SEO experience. We've worked with small vendors to save money, and it's been horrifyingly bad. We are luckily in a very non competitive space, and have at least a base built regarding content, backlink profile, etc. (domain is almost 2 years old, 5 Top 5 results, 40 Top 10s, 250+ top 50s).

As the head of marketing/sales, I've lambasted our teams previous choices, so I now have carte blanche to go out and find that right solution. We need an SEO partner - someone that will allow us to partake in some of the content creation (it's a niche market), a firm that will take the time to understand our market and competitors, someone that is willing to negotiate price if we bring on our second product line, etc.

We are not a tiny outfit, but we do have a tight budget today. $3k a month is near the top of our budget, but we receive a capital injection this summer, with a LARGE portion of that earmarked for marketing.

Has ANYONE had great success working with larger firms? Social SEO out of Colorado springs is the only large company that even appeared to look at our RFI before responding/sending us an offer. Desperately looking for others to compare them with.

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 ...
