Offer HN: Free SEO For Your Startup/Company (SF bay area)
I will do SEO for your startup and/or company for free. The number of hours? As many as it takes, whilst it's still fun to do. It usually takes 5-10 hours to do the basic stuff (strategy and on-site optimization), and then another 10-50 to initiate the harder stuff (developing content and building backlinks).
I will examine your site or product, develop a complete SEO strategy, give you tips and clues on what needs to be corrected on your site, do keyword research and develop content for your site - eventually starting the grind job of building backlinks.
Who am I?
I'm a SEO professional making $170K a year doing project lead and SEO work. I really, really love SEO. SEO is one of my main passions in life. I love logical link hierarchies, finding new sources of backlinks, explaining the importance of digital distribution of content to newbies, doing technical SEO and seeing Google gradually index a site. I love Penguin and Panda - and I love the sheer amount of intelligence that goes ranking in Google. I also own 10-20 sites with Pagerank ranging from 4 to 6. My own sites attract 150-200.000 visitors per week, largely because of SEO.
Why the deal?
Together with a few friends, I'm moving to the SF Bay area in august/september of 2013. I don't know too many people there yet, but I think I'm pretty aligned with most of the guys here on Hacker News. This is a nice way to (possibly) get some new friends whilst doing something I love. (friendship is non-mandatory) ;-)
Who are you?
You're someone in tech, leading a startup or a company. You're great at what you do and you understand the importance of SEO; but you're no master at it - and you understand that your time and talents are better used on other tasks. You live or operate out of the SF Bay Area, and you have a really great product (I can't work on stuff I don't like).
