What do other SEO Consultants look like
I employ people from India and the Philippines to help me with aspects of the job. I was interested to receive an email from an SEO Consultant from Pakistan. Abdul Hayi Mansoore holds a Masters Degree in Computer Science, amongst other qualifications, and has been involved in SEO for a number of years. I enjoy having contact with people from around the world. Being an SEO consultant certainly involves building up relationships with other like minded people. No one person has all the answers.SearchMasters have the skills
Not a bad list! And I consider that I certainly would be a good fit for the position. They are all skills that I have on offer when doing the Search Engine Optimisation work for a business.I was made aware of the requirement for such skills when I was approached for a Google adwords campaign. My questions of why, how the success could be measured, landing pages, why spend so much - why not spend more, when are people buying... Its not just a matter of putting up some ads. If its sales that you are after, the process needs to be managed.

True, thanks for the information! Don't forget also just how important it is to remind people that it takes months and months to start seeing results. Anyone who says they can get you to the first page of Google in 30 days is BS'ing you!
I believe that also he must have it’s own project to prove that he is qualified
