  Russell Matson: Seo is hard. Your experience in dealing with multiple Seo people and getting different answers is probably the norm.

  Matthew Scott: I understand where you're coming from. I'm a small business owner that's also been a bit battered by Google. What I've noticed in regards to my own SERPs is that while I used to have several keywords in the top 3 with several others above the fold, that I'm now desperately trying to hold on to page 1 rankings (8-10). While this is always an uncomfortable position, the reason I've seen my rankings slide are due to Wikipedia, Britannica, dictionary sites, .edu, and social sites making there way up the rankings. I would see what type of sites are now out performing yours. If it's one or a few of the above, then I think you don't count those as Google has given them priority.
  
  I feel your frustration but I don't think you'll find a good answer. My recommendation is therapeutic. When you're at the point where you're ready to pull out your hair... take a break for a few days, indulge in Bing, and do whatever you do to unwind. I noticed that when I was at that point that I was beginning to make bad decisions.
  
  Here's what my team and I've decided to do for 2013. Take it with a grain of salt.
  
  1) Post a minimum of 15 blogs a month with great content surrounded with keywords (companies that post 20x a month on average get 5x more the traffic)
  
  2) Solicit both Google + and Facebook Likes from happy customers. We think that Google will continue to weigh these and other social votes of confidence like they've done with back links.
  
  3) Become active on social sites (Facebook, Google +, Twitter and Instagram)
  
  4) Refocus on image search results. This is another great avenue to get traffic.
  
  5) Add one YouTube video every two months to aid in video results
