Should I renew my SEO freelancer’s contract or look for someone new?

Hi, I run a small local services company and this year I started to take SEO more seriously.

I hired a freelancer here in the US who’s been working on my site for about 6 months now.

Everything seems to be fine, but I wanted to get a second opinion from people who know SEO better than I do just to make sure I’m not missing anything

Scope of work:

  • Analysis of current site performance
  • Keyword research and tracking
  • SEO strategy and monthly planning
  • On-page optimization (1 new service page created each month)
  • 1 new blog post per month
  • 1 guest post + backlink per month
  • Monthly report and zoom review meeting

Results so far:

  • Traffic increased from about 10–100 visitors/month to 300–400 visitors/month
  • Started getting some leads through the site (none before)
  • Rankings improving for local keywords

He seems to be doing high-quality work, is super responsive, and communicates well, but I don’t have much to compare it to.

I’m currently paying 750/month for this scope of work, and I’m debating whether to renew for another 6 months or explore other options. I am getting some ROI.

Does this sound like a fair deal for what’s included? And what kind of results would you expect from this level of work in 6 months? Thanks for your help

Legit Reviews

The google review thing is insane I have gotten 2 legit verified reviews that i ask client to screenshot and observe goolge not post them, pretend like they never happened and when i sent them the image a policy message was sent . As I was browsing through the google forum a lot of ppl are getting hit with legit reviews being removed. While all this is going on i have observe a company go from 12 reviews to 65 reviews in a two month period with some stuff that dont make sense on some of them. Seems like a new business or profile is being limited while aged accounts can have a free for fall but who really knows. Still waiting for a resolution on a if any. submitted by /u/Ok-Bowl-6167 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/zkbfgDH

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

are my YT keywords being ignored?

I have 3hr+ YT videos, so I chapter them out quite extensively. I've read in a couple places if I have too many keywords just grouped together they will all be ignored. Are my keywords being ignored...or are they even being crawled...through my chapters section? Also, is hashtagging in a chapter name good, bad, or not at all relevant? example chapters: Bookmarks: 0:00 Intro 4:25 Little Panda #littlepanda 13:04 Royale With Cheese Megaways #royalewithcheesemegaways 24:48 Big Bass Bonanza #bigbassbonanza 33:02 Book of Cats #bookofcats 44:11 Tractor Beam #tractorbeam submitted by /u/bauerwelson [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/3Gx8IPZ
