Ok,
So I have a client that used me to build his site, which was made in joomla. He then hired a separate SEO expert, unbeknownst to me. Every since then, whenever these SEO experts change something, something goes wrong with the site. It got the point where the client would text me and say "the site is down." I looked at the global configurations of the joomla site and noticed that they tried to turn on search engine friendly URLs (which you should never do). I turned this feature off and the site was back up.
Weird quirks like these happen all the time (like a contact form stopped working).. Now I don't touch the site at all, so I know it has to be one of these SEO "experts." I told the client that he should either just use me for SEO or tell these people to be careful. He then claimed that these people HAVE NO ACCESS TO THE SITE, and that all of the SEO work was done on their side!
Aside from creating backlinks, what could they be doing without access to the site? In my opinion, either the client is lying to convince me that these quirks are all my fault, OR that they may be lying to him.
What do you think?
