Hire a Certified Expert: Get Your Site Fixed by a Pro

Don't have the time or technical skills to fix SEO errors on your store? The Lexiik Experts Marketplace connects you with certified professionals who work directly on your site, with a results guarantee.

Why Hire a Lexiik Expert?

The Lexiik SEO audit automatically detects hundreds of errors on your store, but fixing them sometimes requires technical skills (HTML, CSS, web development) that not all e-commerce merchants have. That's where Lexiik Experts come in.

A Significant Time Savings

Manually fixing 500 product pages can take several weeks. A Lexiik Expert, specialized in your platform (Shopify, WooCommerce, PrestaShop), can accomplish the same work in just a few days:

• Optimization of 100 product pages: 2-3 days vs 2-3 weeks in-house
• Technical error fixes: 1 day vs 5-7 days (if you need to learn)
• CDN configuration: 2 hours vs 1-2 days of reading documentation
• Schema.org markup implementation: 1 day vs 3-5 days of training

On average, hiring a Lexiik Expert saves you 70% of time compared to fixing things in-house.

Certified Expertise

Lexiik Experts are not just freelancers. Each Expert goes through a rigorous certification process:

• Technical test: Fixing 50 real SEO errors in 2 hours
• Theoretical exam: SEO knowledge, Core Web Vitals, WCAG 2.1 accessibility
• Pilot project: 3 supervised assignments with real clients
• Minimum rating: 4.5/5 on the first 3 assignments to become certified

Transparent and Predictable Pricing

Unlike traditional SEO agencies that charge monthly retainers (1,500-5,000 euros/month), the Lexiik Marketplace operates on per-unit pricing:

• Product page optimization: 5-15 euros depending on complexity
• Bulk technical error fixing: 150-300 euros for 100 products
• Bridge installation and configuration: 100-200 euros
• Custom SEO audit: 300-800 euros depending on catalog size
• Custom training: 150 euros/hour (individual video call)

You only pay for what is delivered, with no long-term commitment or hidden fees.

How to Assign a Task to an Expert?

The delegation process is simple and secure, with Lexiik acting as a trusted third party between you and the Expert.

Step 1: Create a Task from Your Audit

From your Lexiik dashboard:

1. Go to the Audits tab to see the list of your errors
2. Select the errors you want fixed (checkbox)
3. Click on Create an Expert Task in the top right
4. Lexiik automatically generates a detailed specification document including:
   • List of errors to fix
   • Priorities (critical, high, medium)
   • Technical context (CMS, version, theme used)
   • Budget estimate (min-max range)

Step 2: Receive and Compare Quotes

Once your task is published on the Marketplace (visible only to certified Experts):

1. 24 to 48 hours: Interested Experts submit their quotes
2. You receive between 3 and 8 proposals on average
3. Each quote includes:
   • Fixed and final price (no overruns possible)
   • Guaranteed delivery deadline
   • Detailed methodology
   • Portfolio of similar tasks
   • Average rating and client reviews

You can ask Experts questions directly via the built-in messaging system before approving a quote.

Step 3: Approve a Quote and Escrow Funds

When you choose an Expert:

1. Click on Accept Quote
2. The amount is placed in escrow by Lexiik (not yet paid to the Expert)
3. Accepted payment methods: Credit card, PayPal, SEPA bank transfer
4. The Expert receives a notification and gains access to the approved specifications
5. A private discussion channel is created for the task (you, the Expert, and a Lexiik moderator)

The escrow ensures that the Expert will only be paid if the work is compliant. This is your primary protection.

Step 4: Real-Time Task Tracking

During execution:

• Read-only access: The Expert can access your store via the Lexiik Bridge (no need to share your CMS credentials)
• Tracking dashboard: Real-time progress (% of errors fixed, estimated time remaining)
• Automatic snapshots: Lexiik saves your site's state before each significant modification
• Asynchronous communication: The Expert keeps you informed via the discussion channel (screenshots, questions, validation requests)

Step 5: Work Validation and Payment

Once the work is completed:

1. The Expert marks the task as Completed
2. You receive a notification to inspect the modifications
3. You have 7 days to:
   • Test the fixes (Lexiik provides a verification checklist)
   • Request adjustments if needed (included in the price)
   • Approve the work or open a dispute
4. If you approve: The escrowed payment is released to the Expert (you receive an invoice)
5. If you open a dispute: A Lexiik mediator reviews the case within 48 hours

If you provide no feedback within 7 days, the work is automatically approved (presumption of satisfaction).

How to Choose the Right Expert?

Selection Criteria

To choose the Expert best suited to your task:

• Platform specialization: Prefer an Expert specialized in your CMS (Shopify, WooCommerce, PrestaShop)
• Industry sector: Some Experts specialize in specific areas (fashion, electronics, food, etc.)
• Average rating: Minimum 4.5/5 recommended, ideally 4.7+
• Number of tasks: At least 10 completed tasks for reliable track record
• Satisfaction rate: Visible on their profile (% of satisfied clients)
• Delivery time: Check availability if you are in a hurry

Value for Money

The cheapest option is not always the best choice:

• Very low quote: Risk of sloppy work, missed deadlines, or unexpected charges during the project
• Average quote: Generally the best quality/price compromise
• High quote: Justified for Top Rated Experts with specialized expertise

Average price spread on the Marketplace: +/-30% around the median price. A quote at -50% of market rate should raise a red flag.
