Hey everyone! I’m looking to hire a freelancer who can help me with SEO.

I’m mainly looking for someone with solid experience in improving organic rankings, on-page SEO, keyword research, and overall search visibility. I’m not necessarily looking for an agency an experienced freelancer who knows what they’re doing would be great.

If you’ve worked on similar SEO projects before, feel free to share your experience, what areas you specialize in, and your usual rates.

Also happy to hear recommendations if you’ve worked with a good SEO freelancer personally. Thanks!

I’d definitely recommend checking their previous SEO work before hiring. Rankings can take time, so I’d be more interested in what they actually improved for past clients than just hearing a list of services.

I’ve worked with a couple of freelancers for SEO, and the biggest difference was communication. One was technically good but barely gave updates. The other explained what they were doing each month, which made the whole process much easier.

If you’re hiring someone, I’d ask them for a clear breakdown of what they plan to work on. There are plenty of people offering “full SEO” without actually explaining what that includes.

I’m also looking for someone similar at the moment. I’m mainly interested in technical SEO and improving organic visibility rather than just buying backlinks. Would be interested to hear what others recommend.

A good freelancer should be able to explain SEO without making everything sound complicated. I’ve had better experiences with people who can clearly explain why they're making a particular change and what result they're expecting.

Make sure you ask about their approach to backlinks. I’ve seen freelancers promise hundreds of links, but quantity isn't necessarily what you want. I’d rather have someone focus on relevance and quality.

I’d suggest starting with a smaller project if possible. It gives you a chance to see how they communicate, how they work and whether they actually deliver before committing to a longer contract.

SEO is one of those areas where I think experience matters a lot. Someone who has actually dealt with ranking drops, indexing issues and technical problems will usually be more useful than someone who just knows the basic SEO terminology.

Before hiring, I’d definitely ask for examples of websites they've worked on. Even if they can't reveal confidential details, they should be able to explain the type of work they did and what changed afterward.
