Hi guys/gals.

I am finding it tricky to find a suitable partner to assist us with off-page optimisation for our soon to be launched mini-site development service.

I am looking for someone to spend 1 hour on each site that we develop to put in place a basic off-page SEO campaign that will mostly be made up of link building activities.

If there's anyone that can suggest anybody suitable or if they'd like to put themselves forward then please PM me.

I have 4 sites that need attention first-off and then if we are satisfied with the work that's done that person/company will then become our partner and handle all off-page SEO work for every future site we develop.

I have tried Elance but without much success. Most just respond with a blanket email and standard proposal for a fully-blown SEO campaign, which isn't what we want.

One concern I have is that perhaps I'm being a little unrealistic about anyone being able to do anything meaninful in 1 hour. If that's the case then what are your thoughts on how long a basic off-page SEO campaign should take.

Thanks for any assistance you can offer!

you aren't going to get anything done in an hour!

think how long it just took you to sign up to HR and post this question -> 20 minutes perhaps?

off page SEO is a continual on going process just like on page activities are such as producing new content.

You can't create a site, wave a magic wand and in 1 hour have a top spot on Google as well as stay there for the rest of the sites life, it doesn't work like that.

I guess the question is "how basic is basic". Assuming you provide a good description that's likely to be approved by directory editors, I suppose it would only take an hour or so to submit the site to a handful of large, general directories. There probably wouldn't even be time to pop back in a week or so later and check to see if the submission has been approved. But if that's the extent of your off-page optimization, it probably won't accomplish much more than letting the search engines know the site exists.

Moving to the contracting/subcontracting area. Anyone can privately message the poster if they are interested in the job, or know someone.
