I will optimize the SEO of your website for optimal rankings
Are you willing to get your hands dirty with the work yourself to bring the total cash outlay down?
The average price of a SEO agency / freelancer is about $100. Having worked with video marketers (as one myself) you're looking at a total investment of about $2k/mo for a few months before you get an ROI from organic.
However -- if you're willing to do the writing to represent your brand and educate your users then you can save usually 75% of the total costs.
SEO is process oriented and outsourceable.
There are services that do all the technical work & heavy lifting, then give you the processes to finish the rest of the work with step-by-step instructions.
That is for the on-page and for any content marketing for the blog.
There are also link building software that I made that makes link building reductive and easy.
In short -- you can get links built with maybe an hour of time, with 90% of the work being done writing content for the other website so they can link to you.
If you'd like to have a quick chat, you can reach me here.
I have to agree with Jake -> do it yourself. You can learn how to do the technical part and while you will never be as good as an agency, it will be way sufficient for your first year(s) in the business. And for the non-technical part, i.e. content, you (or somebody in your team) will be the best at creating it. We can jump on a call if you would like some guidance, in particular for the content part.

SEO: Subdomain or subdirectory for blog?
Google's official stance is that they are "roughly equivalent" and recommends to do what is technically simpler to implement (source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MswMYk05tk). With that said, I'd recommend a directory over a subdomain. Doing this consolidates signals to a single domain, which should then theoretically build more authority for all pages off of that single domain. This consolidation of authority results in rank increases, which have been documented here: http://moz.com/community/q/moz-s-official-stance-on-subdomain-vs-subfolder-does-it-need-updating. A subdomain would split signals from the blog and the rest of the root domain content. So while Google "says" they're roughly equivalent, SEOs have seen tangible evidence that sticking to a single domain can be beneficial. If you're able to go with www.iconery.com/editorial/, I'd choose that. Hope this helps!KR

What is the best link-building strategy for a travel company selling vacation packages of cruises, weekend trips, city trips, etc?
We work with one of the big cruise sites in the UK and it's all about making the site deserve to rank higher by continually improving the site via design & content. Google wants to rank popular sites so you need to (as Simon points out) figure out ways of getting influential sites to talk about you and link to you. PR is the only real way to build links these days.PA

How does one make a strong portfolio for a new SEO agency?
immediaC has built and deployed more that 3000 website and mobile apps since 1998. Here are a couple of ideas for you to establish your credibility and built trust fast: 1 . Go do some pro bono for your favorite charity or non-profit. (We work with the local theatre, a few non-profit sports clubs and a food bank.) 2. Your own website's speaks volumes about your ability. Make sure it totally rocks. 3. While your teams previous work might not be part of your company's official portfolio, you can talk about their specific industry experience and success. 4. Work your networks. People buy from people they trust. Virtually every company out there is concerned about their online strategy, and how to be effective online. It is overwhelming for many businesses. They want a trusted expert. The people you already know, and the people who already know your team, are the easiest to establish trust with. Start with them. Happy to do a call with you if you like.JL

Will redesigning a website (ground up) ruin the search ranking of a site?
TL;DR -> Yes you will risk it if you don't perform a proper audit and migration from the original platform. Any type of architecture changes can 100% ruin your SEO if you are not migrating content and topics correctly. Many people assume this is limited to URI structure but underestimate the power of Topical hierarchy and the content, internal linking and URI structure which play a crucial role into any migration effort. If you have any questions about the migration process, give me a shout. Decent free migration checklist: https://searchengineland.com/site-migration-seo-checklist-dont-lose-traffic-286880TM

What is a reasonable price for SEO services?
The cost of SEO depends a great deal on three things: 1) The specific services being offered (SEO, social media, content strategy, etc.) 2) The degree in which those services will be implemented (how many hours per month) 3) the skill and experience level of the SEOs involved. $800/month is a pretty small investment if you consider all the layers to making a web marketing campaign successful. My company will usually not touch any fully-managed web marketing campaign for less than $1500/month and that's at the low end of the aggressiveness meter even for a pretty basic site. A larger ecommerce site might start around $5K and go up from there. Overall, you want to look for value and results. You'll want to know how long the SEO has been in business and when looking at proposals you need to understand the amount of time the company will be investing in the campaign. You also want to spell out your goals and establish the expectations on how/when those goals will be achieved. When the SEO and client don't have the same expectations, that can lead to issues later on. But if you know what the goals are you can both be on the same page from the start.SD
