SEO for a fresh startup

Hi all,

I started an MSP Business in Germany and set up our website and all myself.

I took SEO into consideration and tried my very best with the help of Ai.

I am very happy with how the site turned out, and also page insight shows great results (96%+).

Meta-Tags, FAQ, Keywords and all. I invested a LOT of time and dedication into this.

I can't say that SEO really comes natural to me, and I am sure AI is not really a great advisor. So I am thinking about paying a marketing freelancer to bring us into shape. In the end I want it done right.

Maybe I just have trust issues, but I am paranoid about paying a noob like myself, that only asks AI and does not really help our company much.

We do net yet have revenue streams, so I want to invest the money real good. And I want my company to finally gain momentum.

Can you give me some advise how to identify a good freelancer?

Thanks y'all.
