SEO... Who has produced the best results for you?

Question

Hi folks! Wholesaler here form Louisville KY. I have been on Fiverr today consider buying a gig for SEO. I would like to drive more organic traffic to our lead generation(capture) page. I am not the most tech save person so I am very happy outsource this. Simply put we need more organic traffic and I don't have the knowledge to make this happen. Who have you used for SEO and what kind of results did you get? Who gave you the best results for your money? I see gigs on Fiverr that range form $5 up to $25. I am not sure what the best investment would be.

Any and all advice/ recommendations are welcome!! Thanks!

Every morning I check my results while eating breakfast.  I'd say maybe 20-ish minutes reading over Google stats.  When I'm putting work into adding context to the site, which isn't daily, I'd say I invest anywhere from an hour to 3, specifically on SEO targeted context.A few things that I would suggest, firstly you have words in your logo, that are just a standard font.  These are words not being picked up.  I would segregate the logo & make the words scannable text.  Next I would add some of your desired keywords in the H2 or H3 tags.  I would also shorten up the terms in the <li> elements under "SOLUTIONS" to better match your targeted SEO terms.Lastly, I see that you link to 2 LinkedIn profiles from the website.  I would link to your website from each of the LinkedIn Profiles.What is your target SEO search terms & who is your competition?

Always done my own SEO.  As for fiverr, you kind of get what you pay for, imo.  While I've done some work on there, I don't really care for it, as it's un-moderated.  Awful clients, awful competition.  It's a lot of cheap, out of college Pakistan professionals.My suggestion is this; no one knows your market like you.  Items will be lost in translation explaining a market to someone that then re-writes content for you.  That content you then have to (or should be) reviewed for likeness against other content.  Write your content as if you are explaining it to someone, like a regular conversation.  Who's your competition?  How are they ranking in your target SEO phrase?  Re-write your content to compare to theirs, improving on the standards. If you are using Wordpress, a great shortcut is the Yoast SEO plugin.  It will help with the content in your post, against your chosen Key Words.Above that you can always increase your website exposure by pointing to it from social networks like FaceBook, Twitter, & YouTube.  These have their own searchable values that can only help the SEO ranking of your website.Additionally, you want to sign up for Google Analytics to track page usage with your visitors, & Google Webmaster tools to submit url's for crawl requests, monitor any webpage errors (301/302/403/404), & most importantly, just how your site is performing with Google SEO.

@Jason Haynes What are you seeking to outsource? SEO rank is driven by a fast-moving mobile compatible site, backlinks, social signals, updating your site with fresh content, and host of other factors. You can learn everything you need to know on moz.com. Keep in mind Google's algorithm is never completely revealed.

The only piece that you need to hire out, if you are not tech savy, is building the site. Everything else you can do on your own, it just takes time and energy.

@Lucas Machado Thanks Lucas! I started to go through the google analytics but it seemed very time consuming and pretty vague. I have the site and hosting already. I just do not know if I would be able to devote the time to it right now. Would it be logical to have a VA work on this?

If I did this myself how much time say per week or per day would I need to devote to this?
