Seeking Local SEO Pro for my Agency
Greetings - I'll try to keep this short as I know you read a lot of these posts every day. I'm looking for someone to support my agency by providing local SEO for a growing list of local business projects. Examples of these might be a local roofing company, a junk removal company, or another local service company. Some of these are simple with 1 service area and 1 GMB. Others are complex, with 8 services, 15 service areas, and 8 gmbs. 1. SCOPE OF WORK My primary focus is on-page SEO. Setting our foundation as well as possible before ANY link building. Keyword & market research, website architecture and mapping, one-page optimizations and content optimizations, and so on. Link building would come AFTER all that, and is not my primary focus. 2. EXPERTISE Please do not come at me with ancient strategies that worked 4 years ago. I am a member of a lot of SEO groups and familiar with most SEO trends and latest strategies, I know what I am doing to some degree - I can discuss these things with you. BUT I'm looking to hire someone who continually learns and improves their skills, who I don't have to train from scratch, and who can self-direct. I'm not interested in training someone from scratch, so if you're new or unproven here on Upwork, no hard feelings but I'm not the right fit for you. 3. REQUESTS Please please please read this and consider it when you apply. 1. The more proof of your work the better. Nothing else matters if this isn't there. If you can prove with concrete examples that you have a real history of building and ranking local business brands, that means more to me than any nice opening chat gpt message. 2. Be conversational and communicative. If I don't get along with you, I won't work with you. A lot of the time people respond to a job post with a really nice message but then the follow up communication simply sucks. Please don't be that person. 3. Be ready to discuss budgeting and so on. I'm a fair person and pay well for good work - but it must be good. Thank you for your time and energies. I look forward to hearing from you. BUDGET is placeholder because this would be an ongoing contract.
13 days ago45 proposalsRemotePackaging for an essential oil addiction recovery range
We seek a graphic designer to develop packaging designs ready to be printed on boxes/packaging for our company, Recovery Oil to produce new range of aromatherapy essential oils that primarily target those afflicted by an addiction including, but not limited to: drugs, alcohol, smoking, sex, food, mobile phone usage, exercise/steroids/sports, online gaming or computer use, and many others. The brand aims to promote both physical, spiritual and mental healing through the use of natural wellness and products made from nature. We aim to target this product range at a health-conscious demographic that either currently use natural/healthcare products, It is important to us that the text, images and overall design reflect our ability to harness scientifically tested and verified essential oils that are proven to be effective for the treatment of addiction or maintenance of their current recovery. We envisioned, developed and produced this range specifically because of the highly potent ingredients that we can use to give addicts another tool to recover, and the research, evidence and clinical trials that prove the benefits that specific essential oils in specific dosages can provide to the user. For example, using these specific oils can provide a 40% increased in probability to maintain their recovery and prevent relapse, and up to 70% of trial users state that these oils provide an immense benefit in their efforts to get clean or sober. The essential oil range will initially include a package of 4 essential oil synergistic blends that: We also want to offer these products individually if they don’t need the whole kit and just need 1 or 2, for example those in Recovery who want to use our maintenance oil ongoing. A generic blend of all of the oils and their potent benefits will be added to candles, reed diffusers, room spray, beard oil for men and face cream for women, essential oil diffuser jewellery, car/travel diffusers, as well as soap bars and bath bombs. The design(s) should have a clean, modern aesthetic that reflects the high-quality, potent, scientifically proven natural ingredients. Packaging needs to clearly communicate in a modern, clean, eye-catching and professional manner that these blends and products use all natural ingredients that don’t harm the environment, yet use the knowledge, expertise, research and clinical trials that modern conventional western medicine provides to get the best from both worlds. It should also give the feeling that using this product will more likely guarantee their likelihood of success during their withdrawal/abstinence phase, and provides a substantial boost to their day to day maintenance/recovery efforts and activities afterwards. Information like ingredients, expiration dates, storage instructions, contraindications, warnings, usage guidelines, tips and suggestions to get the most from these products, and the clinical evidence from clinical trials and research must be conveyed clearly and succinctly yet prominently on the packaging and any other leaflets or inserts that each product will contain. As this is a completely new brand that is right at the beginning of establishing itself. The aesthetics should establish consistency across the range while also allowing each individual product to stand out on its own. Just as our bottles, ingredients and contents are from environmental and sustainable sources. Our packaging should also meet this standard to minimise waste and harm to the people, animals and planet around us all. Initial concepts will be 2D designs that need to be developed once the overall feel/requirements are understood and agreed upon. The products will initially be produced in small quantities due to the size of our organisation and the fact that we are still finding our customers and growing. This will increase as we establish ourselves and grow the business. File formats must be layered Photoshop or Illustrator files fully printable at high resolution. The chosen designer will be integrated into the product development process to iterate and refine designs based on feedback with each other. We don’t use photoshop or design software ourselves so any conceptual designs must be able to be opened and viewed easily without needing any additional special software. Experience designing for the healthcare and complementary/holistic therapy sectors, as well as natural products and packaging is desired but not essential if the right designer is found. A portfolio demonstrating aesthetic talent, typographic skill, and the ability to distill complex information simply through design is required. The selected designer must complete work in a timely manner, and with close communication with us, along with efficient timekeeping of deadlines and guarantees given. Depending on the price of the project and the timeframes provided, we may also want labels/packaging for our other products as well.
