[thelist] SE Optimization Company Recommendation?

[April]

I'd recommend Laisha of http://laisha.com/.  Not a very bells and whistles 
site (or business), but I've met her personally through the Open Directory 
Project (dmoz.org, we're both editors), and was very impressed.  I've found 
her to be a no-nonsense, straight up, type person, who knows more about the 
ins and outs of search engines than I would have thought possible.  She 
tends to give those opinions straight out, isn't afraid to tell you that 
the reason your site isn't placing is because you have no content, and 
would sooner shoot herself in the foot than use a quick submit and forget 
policy on placement. I really don't know anything about her business, 
though, or what she accepts along the lines of clients and how full she is, 
so you'll need to ask her if she's even in a position to work with 
you.  She would probably have some good recommendations for a larger 
company, without the lone expert approach, if your amount of work is more 
than one person could take on, too.
