Dear Headsets.com
I have collected here several top SEO consultants - ones that are
featured in "serious" industry articles or are well known; and that
make "house calls". However, I am not sure that their schedule is free
for you when you need them, or that their fees will meet your
expectations - these two issues have to be sorted out between you.
Heather Lloyd-Martin
<http://www.searchenginewriting.com/>
She is one of the top SEO consultants in the field. Her firm is in
Seattle, but she writes on her website that she does housecalls.
For an example of Lloyd-Martin's philosophy, at:

This could be another solution. The president is Michael Murray, but
you might get a lower-ranked consultant. Ohio-based.
A directory for further consultants (if the top ones in the business
are too expensive) exists here, and you can choose to look for
consultants in California only:

Google has valuable advices on how to choose the right SEO for you:
What's an SEO? Does Google recommend working with companies that offer
to make my site Google-friendly?
