What is the best way to effectively optimize our SEO without paying a company 2500/mo to do it for us?

There are basically two types of SEO outfits. There are the "chop shops" of the world offering dated solutions like link building, etc and charging a monthly fee for supposed maintenance. Then there are credible experts who understand that the overall experience of the web assets is what catapults KPI's. One of the most important factors that's widely overlooked is technical compliance which experts adhere to and follow closer than a CPA follows tax law changes. Having said all that, ultimately, you get what you pay for. A proper outfit will charge you an appropriate fee to get your assets optimized. They will rarely charge you for monthly "maintenance" and instead may offer additional experiential suggestions for the brand. My final bit of advice is budgeting for this service so that you're not stuck learning and guessing trying to reinvent the wheel. Many try and eventually hire an expert.

Max exemplifies what it means to be a manager. He has the unique ability to bridge the gap between the business goals and the individual's needs. Those who work for him are truly lucky, and those who employ him are even luckier.

Those that have had the opportunity to work with and for him aspire to be a manager of his caliber. He is undeniably deserving of his revered reputation, professional accomplishments and endless successes.

Max really understands how to see things from every possible angle and helps to ensure a clear action is put in place. He has a great sense of humor too!

Max is the man. A true operations leader who leads by example and commands the respect of others rather than just demanding it. It's been a pleasure working for him and I've learned how to be a better manager from our many conversations.

In my experience, few managers can inspire employees to go above and beyond what they thought they were capable of, the way that Max can. He is an effective, well-respected leader and always keeps his door open to his employees.

Max is brilliant at assessing "the state of the union", implementing process and ensuring that a business gets results. His track record speaks for itself but, simply put, Max makes companies successful.

In addition to being the chief architect and curator of Pointroll's operational structure during the critical (and very explosive) early growth period, Max was a teacher and my principal role model. Even after we were no longer working together day to day, I found myself drawing on lessons he had left behind and wisdom he had imparted. What is clear is that one of Max's core strengths is the development of his people. He continually provided us with new challenges and opportunities for growth. Even in his absence, he has provided me guidance, and for this I will always be grateful.

Max is a brilliant, professional and hard working leader. His analytical and problem solving skills are excellent. I would work with Max anytime and would recommend him for any team that requires a smart, forward thinking and hard working leader.

Timothy Myers Source: LinkedIn

Max did an amazing job of organizing processes and workflow to handle the massive growth at PointRoll during his tenure there. He led by example - working smart, constantly thinking about how to improve things, and trying to keep people focused on the common goal of success. Max hired on a great group of professionals across all Ops departments as well. First and foremost Max is extremely trustworthy, honest, and dedicated to his team. He's been a key mentor for me personally and I know he will inspire others as well wherever he should lead a team.
