Job Description

This is a job for an internet marketing guru. I have just had a website built and would like someone to offer advice on the website itself and the best route forward in terms of internet marketing. I would appreciate it if the person who applies has a strong marketing background plus an in-depth knowledge of what is working right now on the internet and offers the most bang for my buck. I am already running a PPC campaign plus I have engaged but not yet 100% signed up for an SEO company who offer a package for £125 per month. The company offering this service is a UK based company. I see this as a role performed by an outside guru stroke mentor who can provide the expertise to turn my service into a top brand. My service is a removal company & I have been trading for 10 years. Are USP's are \"A professional removal service at man with van rates\" & \"A fixed hourly rate regardless of where you live\". These USP's apply to our catchment area which is roughly Bristol, Bath, Swindon, Cheltenham & Gloucester and all points inbetween. I hope someone can help. All the best Nick

Some more info about my requirements. This is what I have been offered for my SEO package for £125 per month
• Quarterly Progress Report
• Optimisation to all pages to ensure the website meets search engine standards
• Website analysis
• Keyword analysis
• Manual search engine and directory submission
• Optimisation suggestions
• Marketing suggestions
• Google PageRank performance
• Inbound link building
• Website load time checking
• Duplicate content checking
• Incorporate Google Analytics to website
• Browser Compatibility Checking
• Broken Link Checking
• Dedicated point of contact for website issues
My understanding is that they are a UK based company and carry out all the work themselves. With regard to PPC I have got someone to do my PPC on a commission basis currently £50 per month £40 to Google £10 to the campaign manager. As I have got my PPC/SEO in place I am really looking for someone who can suggest what I should be doing next beyond these two fundamental tasks. Some of the tasks might involve;
Adding content to my sight
reviewing my sight content
Social networking
starting a blog
submissions to forums / directories
The list could go on and so I am looking for somebody who is able to pinpoint the areas that I need to focus on and has the ability to do it themselves or can mentor me where necessary so that I can do it myself. I hope this clarifies my requirements for you. Regards Nick

Are you looking for a serious freelancer or someone willing to work for less than the UK's minimum wage? I have just seen a bid win because they charged £4 per hour. Also £125 per month for SEO is ridiculous, any decent company would be charging 3 times that.

Hi Mark

Did you read the brief? The rate I am prepared to pay is between £20 - £30 per hour not £4. I already have PPC/SEO sorted. The SEO is provided by a UK company called Jump 2it media. I have had a chat with them and they assure me they do everything in house. I don't know their hourly rate but the package I have signed up for is a starter package which has no contract so I can terminate anytime I want. They have packackes that are £300+ but the chap I talked to suggested going for a starter package and getting some results first. The company is jump 2it media and I chose them because they had 4.9 out of 5 rating on Freeindex. What I am looking for is more of a marketing/internet Guru/consultant. Someone who is able to perform a consultant role for my business and offer me advice on what I should be focusing on next. This could be social networking, blogging, directory submission, video, website redesign, website content, PR etc. If they have the right skillset then they may also be in the frame to implement the agreed stratagies. I have a reasonable budget for all this but I am a business owner so also keep an eye on the pennies. Best wishes Nick
