SEO, Link Biulding, Social Media Services

We are a ski and snowboard clothing online retailer. We would like to achieve first page Google ranking for competitive keywords and also see increased traffic to the website.

We are looking for a talented SEO professional, either working as an individual or as part of a company, to provide SEO, link building and social media services on a monthly basis.

All working practices would need to be completely ‘white hat’, so as to ensure the site does not get black-listed by Google.

We would require the following:

Keyword research & analysis of competitors and market place
On-page and off-page optimization
Link building – one-way live links from relevant sites
Directory submissions
Social bookmarking
Social media entries onto our Facebook and Twitter pages
Article writing and submission to article directories
Article writing and guest blog posting to related blog sites
Business profile listing
Monthly SEO, link building and ranking reports
Plus anything else that you feel is necessary to achieve our goals

After the keyword research is completed, I would want to optimise the site for approx 30 keywords, targeting first-page rankings for moderate to difficult keywords.

Listed below are a few keywords that I feel would be effective, but these could change after the keyword research and your recommendations:

Ski jackets
Ski trousers
Ski clothing
Ski wear
Ski gear
Mens ski jackets
Womens ski jackets
Kids ski jackets
Mens ski clothing
Womens ski clothing
Kids ski clothing
Kids ski wear
Ski wear for children
Ski goggles
Ski helmets
Ski gloves
Ski luggage
Ski bag
Boot bag
Snowboard bag
Cheap ski wear

Ski wear sale
Snowboard clothing

Surfanic ski jackets

Tog 24 ski jackets

Please send me a proposal for this work, based on a monthly cost and with an indication as to how many hours per month you think this will require. Please also provide a realistic timescale for how long it will take to get some first page rankings.

A monthly SEO, link building and social media plan containing number of links, directory submissions etc would also be advantageous to your proposal.

Note: As the ski season is seasonal (October to April) we would like to be ready for October 2012 and then continue every month. We envisage it will be cost effective to reduce the monthly cost after April 2013, as hopefully we will be on page one of Google by then, and it should not need as much time to keep us there as it will have taken to get us there in the first place.

Thank you and I look forward to receiving your proposal.
