Hire an SEO

Looking for someone who actually knows what they're doing? You're in the right place.

The SEO Community is home to hundreds of practitioners who span the full range of search — technical SEOs, content strategists, AEO innovators, and full-stack marketers who can tie SEO back to real revenue. Hiring the right one starts with figuring out what "right" looks like for your project.

How We Help As Connectors

We can introduce you to individual practitioners from The Community who are actively looking for work, and do great work. Tell us what you need and we'll connect you with the right person.

How to Compare SEO Consultants

Telling the real deal from someone with a nice LinkedIn banner takes a trained eye. Here's what actually matters when you're comparing candidates.

  • What to look for: case studies with real numbers attached, especially revenue. A clear process they can explain in plain language, specialization that matches your actual problem (technical, content, local, ecommerce, etc.), and references you can actually call.
  • What to watch out for: guaranteed #1 rankings (nobody can promise that), vague or infrequent reporting, agencies quietly reselling white-label work without telling you, and contracts that lock you in with no visibility into what's actually being done.
  • Typical pricing: independent consultants generally run $100–$300/hour, monthly retainers usually land between $1,500–$10,000+ depending on scope and company size, and one-off projects like audits or migrations are often quoted flat-rate. Pricing varies a lot by specialization and experience, so treat these as ballpark figures rather than guarantees.
