Decision: Hiring Firm with GREAT creating/digital marketing capabilities but OK seo knowledge Or Hiring company w/ OK creative & design but GREAT seo knowledge

This is the dilemma we are in.

We are in the IT sector.

Option A is a digital marketing company that creates unique and artistic websites that really pop. But their client portfolio seo numbers are not too impressive when ran on ahrefs or semrush. They are also pushing a rebrand (as an extra option), which we are 50/50 on. Our name is pretty generic currently. But we still rank decent in a saturated market. Feel like rebranding will cause us to freefall a bit.

Option B is a firm that has a great track record of rankings for current clients, but their content/design is very stale and boring. Almost like every other firm in our industry.

Curious what majority's take here is here.

We are leaning with option B, because results speak, but for the investment think we might get more value with better looking site. Could make argument that with a more creative/memorable site you can pair with PPC and have more success. Also the option of eventually hiring organic seo contractors to get us back on pages 1-3 for keywords.

P.S. And yes understood that ideally you get a company that does both well, but after a month of collecting bids, the firms that really do specialized in both are usually the double the cost.

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 ...
