I`ve always been curious as to exactly what SEO experts do for you. Are they creating content, or do they simply read your existing content and choose the best keywords for you. I hear SEO professionals charging huge sums of money for their services, I`m curious as to how they evaluate their success. If they are being paid monthly - what daily activities are they doing?

Selected answers from the Dumb SEO Questions Facebook & G+ community.

  • Jenny Halasz: I work hourly instead of monthly. I consult with clients on everything from how to structure their site(s) to how to appeal to their target market with specific keywords and topics.
  • David Ogletree: Most SEO is useless busy work. Actual SEO is very hard and few really know how to do it. Unless they can get you high quality links your not getting real SEO. Non link building SEO has its place but should be a very small part of a monthly budget. Sometimes there is a lot of non link building setup in the beginning if they have to fix a bad site. Blog posts and articles can be part of it but they have to be very high quality and should be promoted in order to get links. If somebody does anything automated it is a scam.
