My question is for the SEO hot shots here: What's the best method(s) for doing SEO in 2017?
I know I know, SEO is dead.
I. Don't. Care.
I'm on a quest to build a "built to sell" business and I've found that in my space buyers tend to like good SEO rankings. Sure they might be stupid for doing it, but I've found it tends to pay off when you give people what they want no matter what my opinion is on the matter.
I've looked around this past week for good courses or looking in my personal networks for anyone doing SEO and only know a couple and they are they type to not part with their tricks and can't blame them. As for the courses, most all of them post videos or screenshots from 2015 and older which sets off red flags in my head. I'm assuming SEO is a lot like paid traffic where some of it is fundamental, but to really be able to do anything you need current and up to date info.
I'm really at step one here. I'd gladly hire it out but don't want to get hosed by guys who use BH tactics to rank me only to get blacklisted by google in a few months or pay someone stupid fees and not see any results. I hate hiring when I don't understand the basics of what I'm hiring out.
Here is an example of my position: I am someone who has various products and brands they want to rank for. Primarily just for my product/brand names (ie: Ford, Mustang) and secondly if we can rank for the product type or something that's great too (ie: sports car, muscle car, etc.).
What's the deal these days-
Willing to share paid traffic knowledge or pay if that's what it has come down to.
(at Mods, I could have sworn there was an SEO sub-thread somewhere but couldn't find it, if this is the wrong category please move and sorry!)

What's the deal these days-
- Outsource it?
- Study and learn myself? If so where is a trustworthy source to begin?
- Hire someone in-house/partnership?
