Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks for the input. I like the idea if hiring local and hadn't really considered it since I didn't want to narrow my options. But Seattle seems like a good place to get quality SEO.

I joined SEOmoz knowing very little about SEO (it turns out even less than I thought!) I signed up because my business website that had be ranking very well for years made a fast and furious fall to the purgatory of page 2, 3, whatever. We'll I've definitely learned a lot and made a several changes that have helped. Specifically link building (directory submissions) and eliminating duplicate content. But we're still far below where we used to be and I've done everything I can do without making a career change to SEO.

I've hired a few offshore SEOs to help but they have all failed to live up to their promises.

So, I would love to find a GOOD SEO that can 1. Fix the remaining on-page technical issues in our CMS website (Business Catalyst), and 2. help us develop an SEO strategy for the next year. (I prefer not to post the name of the website for competitive reasons)

Our keywords are really not very competitive at all due to the uniqueness of the business.

Where should I look for help?

Thanks
