I have a website for which I am looking for an SEO expert. It has hundreds of well-written articles, niche-aligned branding/UI, 4 years of age, and a focus on quality/valuable content.
Background/What Went Wrong: The site grew incredibly well during the first couple of years. Traffic steadily rose to 1k/day, AdSense and Amazon Affiliate sales were on track, I got dozens of weekly backlink inquires, and things looked very good. This was until mid-2022. Something like a hack happened. Someone gained access and a ton of spam articles were created that were just URLs, no content. I realized it *TOO* late, as those didn't appear on the page or post lists. My traffic tanked. Then, thousands of spam backlinks were also created to my domain. Someone intentionally tried to sabotage my website. Several server-side changes were also made like harmful files were found in my hosting scans. Long story short, I fixed all that (too late), but the website is not getting back up in ranking or traffic.
This is a website created with a lot of effort. The focus has been on quality since day 1. I love this website. But there still seem to be issues that I simply cannot fix. My technical knowledge is quite poor. It's slow, for starters.

- What I bring to the table: I have handwritten every piece of content and will continue to do so. I know frontend coding, WordPress, design, branding, and technical stuff (limited).
- What/who I need: Someone with experience in properly scaling up content-based websites and turning them into money-making assets with ads and affiliate product reviews.
- All expenses for backlinks, SEO tools, etc. will be split. Content is free, I have writers in my team (different business) plus I write myself with proper knowledge and passion in the niche.
