How to vet a good SEO consultant

Honestly, being an SEO consultant is mostly about connecting dots other people miss. You look at sit ...
So I've been asked a few times what an SEO consultant actually does all day, and honestly it's less glamorous than people think. Most of my time goes into digging through analytics, figuring out why certain pages aren't ranking, and explaining to clients why rankings don't change overnight. It's a lot of research, a lot of trial and error, and way less "magic" than the word SEO implies.
Honestly, half the job seems to be translating technical jargon into something a business owner can actually use. They'll explain why your bounce rate matters or why backlinks from spammy sites can hurt you. It's part strategist, part teacher, part data nerd. Curious if others have had a similar experience working with one.
I hired an SEO consultant about a year ago because my site traffic was basically flatlining and I had no clue what else to try. Honestly the first few weeks felt like nothing was happening, lots of audits and spreadsheets, but by month three I started seeing small ranking jumps that actually mattered. What surprised me most was how much he focused on fixing technical stuff before touching content at all.
What I've learned is that a decent consultant spends more time listening than talking, at least at the start. Mine asked a ton about my customers before ever mentioning keywords. Makes me wonder how many people just hire the first name they see without checking if the person even understands their niche, anyone else run into that?
