Wanted - SEO Guru near Salisbury/Southampton

Hello,

I'm the web developer for a web site that I would consider large. Has somewhere between 80k and 100k pages. It has 15k - 20k uniques per day, generating around 3.2m page imprerssions monthly.

It does well on search engines for generic and specific search phrases, and is heavily optimised. We do SEO in-house, and this site is gettiong to the limitations of our experience.

The sie owner has paid several companies to do SEO reports for improvements, and most of them have been at a level below what we have done already, i.e. of no use. There are so many people claiming to be good at SEO, when it seems a few seldom are.

What we're looking for is a company or individual located close to Salisbury/Southampton/Bournemouth/Portsmouth that would be considered as a 'SEO guru'. We want people that consider a site like ours small, and have successfully helped sites get far more hits that what we are currently recieving. This client must have some big named or very successful clients, and must have gotten them to the top of search engines themselves.

What we'll want is for them to look at our site, our main competitor (who seems to currently have the market share, noone else is close) and tell us what we can do to improve things. In particularlly, improving our page rank. We can provide analytics statistics, and HitWise data for both ourselves and our competitors. Ideally, we'd be able to meet up and discuss things for a day, paying for your time.

Please note that we will be doing the coding, just after someone to act as a consultant to tell us what to do.

Please contact me with ideas - thanks

There are some good recommendations on Digital Point, or have a look on SEO Chat forums too. Personally I have outsourced all my SEO to India (via Rentacode) and had good results. But my sites are tiny compared to yours.

BTW - Could you post your URL so we can see the site?

Thanks for your reply, will look in Digital Point (and have already posted on an SEO forum, but not got a decent reply).

Outsourcing is not something I want to do, I need to do the coding, I'm just after a consultant. Also I want to do face-to-face. I want to be 100% sure that the person dealing with it knows considerably more about SEO than me (which I'd like to thinkl is a fair bit).

Sorry, can't give URL at this stage as I don't want competitor to know tactics etc. Any serious offers will obviously get URL

Thanks for your help mate

THanks for your reply Prizzle

How do you mean you're 'pretty good'? I want someone who is 'fantastic'

Do you have any examples of what you've done to get people up the search engines. i.e. large clients.

We want to go with someone who considers 3.2 million page views a month or 20k uniques a day 'small-fish'. We're after market leaders etc. If this is you then please reply

Thanks

Well I'm in the school computers right now and they caught me with email. Stupid policy so when I get home I shall check the email.

Edit: Nice looking website. Already has a high PR of 4. When did you start this site?

Started 4 years ago I think.

As said on my email, not sure that you're the guy to help. We're after big well-established companies who promote people like M&S, i.e. who will have no problems getting our site ranking better.

Thanks for the offer though

If your looking for that statute of SEO google professional SEO firms and get them to do it then. Also if your looking for promotions for your site talk to other administrators on websites and ask them to put your link in their site.
