    For starters your SEO isn't going to increase PR, at least he doesn't have a way to measure PR on your own site/pages besides any existing PR. You can look at old existing backlink profiles to get a rough idea (If your domain is old enough). Google public PR hasn't been updated for about a year, which isn't a typical thing for Google to do based on the last 10 years. In the past years PR was updated approx. quarterly.

    IMO, completely forget Twitter, Facebook would be more likely to generate leads based on real customer testimonials being posted on Facebook. Don't fall for those fake Facebook Like packages. You need real people that are local to your town/business area.

    Based on those packages you posted I would avoid the seller, everything you listed is junk that can be bought on fiverr.com for $5 each.

    Look for a real SEO that does local SEO for Australia since that's your target market.

    That's a lot of stuff for an SEO to make a profit. I know they have the monthly retainer fee ($150) so I'm guessing that long list would probably be spread out over 6 months to a year at least. I can't imagine anyone making a profit from that much work for the initial $250.

    These things would have me 2nd guessing the quality of work:
    • 3. Optimization of Meta Keywords Tags (Main Pages)
    • 11- Yahoo answer

    Keyword meta tags are useless for SEO, all they do is tell the competition exactly which keywords your targeting, which creates more competition.

    I have no idea why a roofing business would need to use Yahoo Answers, sounds spammy to me.

    Where are you getting these list of services? No need to post direct links.

    Bookmarking and backlinks that most people use are not beneficial to your business... honestly your best bet is to take the time to build it yourself; no one knows your topic like you do - present your own flavor.

    Most people selling those services are posting your links to known farms that will actually decrease your search impact.

    Use H1 and H2 tags, create fresh relevant content, get it shared via social (organically), use specific posts (on topic) as your website when commenting on blogs in the related field.... use hash tags on twitter and instagram and don't be shy about asking your readers to share on facebook
