SEO Service Needed
-
Any suggestion about hiring an SEO individual? Primary focus will be proper link/relationship building.
What questions would you ask them? What is a fair compensation method? Can the compensation be based on results vs. effort?
Thank you,
Joe

Whitespark has a good citation building service. They charge $4 for generic citation links and $5 for targeted links for your site. You can read more about it here.

Joe,
In the SEO area you want to have clear goals and objectives. What you want is someone who can look at your situation and articulate a clear plan with specific goals. If they cannot do that you do not want to deal with them. You need to determine what the measurable increase is that you will get and agree on it. If the SEO tries to tell you that they have some "special method" that does not follow the normal rules run for the hills ;).
While the link building itself is not hard(mainly boing) it is very time consuming. After the base links like Google and Bing, Yelp, Citysearch, etc are done your SEO may need to do link research to determine appropriate links. This can be very time consuming and does require some skill. A realistic price for good quality links is between $20-$30 per link (this should be the average anyway).
I would also check reviews as well as the Better Business Bureau to see if the SEO has any complaints.

Direct is taking over my SEO traffic in Mobile iOS and Android Devices
WIth all the buzz of mobile has anyone taken a look to dig into the SEO traffic by device (desktop vs mobile). Well I did and surprising my desktop trend was not even close to mobile traffic. Surprising to know that due to the security updates in iSO and Android organic traffic (traffic with out tracking codes) is getting bucket into Direct. (Yes we all know Direct traffic is dirty dirty label traffic that analytics platforms can identify.)http://www.rimmkaufman.com/blog/estimating-google-organic-search-visits-hidden-by-ios-6/17122012/http://www.definemg.com/recover-your-android-4-and-ios-search-traffic/ Feels like SEO is receiving no love... didn't we have enough with Google encryption, we didn't get the keyword but at least got the referral! Have you notice in your traffic and what are you doing about it?

What are some good organizations an SEO company can join that are strong trust signals?
We are working on a website redesign, and want to prominently include some trust signals that help people feel comfortable with us. We're including logos of a few places we've guest posted, and also the BBB and local chamber of commerce. Do you have any other ideas on logos we can include that are good trust signals? Any associations or organizations we could join? We are a trustworthy company, we just want a way to communicate that visually, and it seems organization seals and logos are the way to go. Thanks!

New business acquisition for digital agencies from SEO and CRO
I have a nice simple question to ask all you mozzers out there, specifically if you work for a web design/digital agency. Does your agency get any new business clients through your SEO and CRO efforts? I'm asking this to try and build up a qualitative data set. I am responsible for all SEO and CRO at our agency for all clients along with our own website. Having increased traffic by over 200% in the last 12 months, and obtaining page one of Google for all our targeted keywords, we are still without any new business or ROI. We are fortunate enough to get a lot of great clients via word of mouth, a great sales team and client retention, I'd really like to know what the bigger picture is here? If I get enough data back, I'll make it into my first Youmoz post and share all the data with everyone :¬) I've now added a survey so you answer anonymously: There are only 5 questions in all, your time is greatly appreciated. http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/New_business_acquisitions_for_digital_agencies Any feedback gladly welcomed.
