I would suggest that lawyers have a third option: namely, working with a solo search engine optimization guru. I have worked with a number of search engine solos in the past to promote my Denver tax lawyer law firm website. Some of these solo SEO gurus were better than others.

I have found that the solo SEO guru has a bit more to offer than the larger corporate SEO team, in that the solo is usually willing to do much more high quality work for slightly less compensation. In many cases the SEO guru will even agree to perform limited or a la carte services, such as merely providing link building services (I can’t help but notice that this is very similar to thee solo and BigLaw dynamic that permeates the legal profession).

I have been using a SEO gal for one of my projects and I have been quite happy with her work. Her name is Huma Maqsood (here is a copy of Huma’s resume). Curiously, she does not have her own website and she only works by referral (feel free to say I referred you if you are interested – and no, I do not get any benefit from the referral).

Does anyone know of other good SEO solos? Has anyone worked or is working with a SEO guru that they are happy with? If so, maybe you would be kind enough to share the guru’s name and contact information? Perhaps you could even list them on this website, so that they can help other attorneys?
