Know-How Exchange : SEO/SEM

I'd strongly recommend the firm I once hired and now do some work for: Trafficdeveloper.com. They've been doing SEM, SEO and PPC (and other web development) for over ten years now. Contact Chris Kramer, President, at chris@trafficdeveloper.com

Explore www.icrossing.com. try contacting matthew.grzyb@icrossing.com.

Depends on the specific needs, but two ideas:

1. Tim Pepper (Pepper Blue) on this forum. He knows this stuff cold, but I don't know if he's accepting more clients right now. I've worked with him in the past, and we have a joint project now, and he's very good at this stuff. I'd at least ask him.

2. Depending on where the priority is, you might look into Trada -- www.trada.com. They have an excellent track record and a very clever business model that all but guarantees success. If you want to pursue this, let me know. I have a contact there and I'll be glad to introduce you.

My firm will do both for under $10k/month. Our clients include Mazda USA, Taco Bell, Georgetown University and others.

Thank you for considering us!

Hello Carrie:

Some of the firms previously mentioned cater to large companies with sizable budgets (i.e., one has a minimum monthly agency/service fee of $3,500...a pretty hefty chunk of the total <$10k budget!). You may want to consider SEMPO as a resource for SEO/SEM information (it's a non-profit Search Engine Marketing Professionals Organization):
https://sempo.site-ym.com/

There are many free resources on that site (i.e., check out the Learning Center/Resource Library) and you also may be able to find a member company that would cater to smaller businesses and not charge as high a fee.

To help select the best provider for your needs, you might want to consider drafting a more formal RFP.

If your client happens to be looking for a full service marketing/ad agency (with integrated SEO/SEM/PPC), please let me know and I'll put my company's name into the hat as well! It would be helpful if you could provide the client name and/or industry and their objectives if you'd like more input/feedback.

Best of luck!
Steve

Hi Carrie,

At the moment we are nearing capacity but are interested in learning more about this client's requirements to see if it is a good fit for both.

I can be reached through my profile if you or they wish to chat.

Thanks.

We've used the guys at Zaah before. They are in your neck of the woods and are great people. Try contacting them @mauricefreedman and tell him @petertennis sent you.
