Your SEO guy doesn’t do your SEO?

May 8, 2025 by Peter Wordpress SEO Expert

Usually I post these without editorialising. But this interaction was just so funny and ridiculous – I get some odd requests but this one is beyond!

I am working with an SEO guy to generate traffic for my website. He asked me a some things to fix plus I have indexing errors in Google search console.

Basically I would need a fix all those issues(and possibly more) to make the website “visible” and make Goole like it.

Can you help me on this?

If I can be frank, this is a bit of an unusual request – simply because your SEO guy should be fixing anything related to SEO. That’s his job. 🙂

I certainly do all the SEO work for my clients.

I do quite often have so-called ‘SEO companies’ employ me to do their own websites’ SEO – but I’ve not had someone reach out previously to say they have an SEO person, but that person isn’t doing the SEO work and fixes for them.

Perhaps he’s actually just consulting on SEO for you–in which case I would query how much he really understands about this very complicated field – if he’s not able to do the work himself.

I’m afraid I’m going to have to pass on this.

Praise

I have over 2,500 5-star feedback reviews (and I’ve never received less than the full five.)

Here’s just one example, from Mike who runs Costello Entertainments:

Migration, Hosting, SEO and Speed Work on our new website all completed quickly and efficiently and Peter was most helpful in fixing an issue with a Popover on the site as well. If you’re thinking about asking Peter to do a job for you or hesitating, JUST DO IT! – He knows programming and the internet inside out, he’ll get the job done for you professionally, with a smile. I wish I could call a plumber or a tradesman to do the jobs I can’t do myself with the same level of confidence.
