Hey Mate,
I know your frustration on people sending generic bids! I sometimes get some graphic design done on here and it's annoying hey.
I've allowed 10 days to ensure we can get it right, however it should be faster than that.
Sometimes auctionnudge will not show all the entries if it's been updated from an older version, is this the case? Otherwise there will be a reason why they're not showing - we should be able to work this out for you.
As for the SEO part, we can show you how to use and install Yoast which is the simplest way to manage your meta tags etc. that way we can set it up, then you can manage it in the future.
Also, I can't comment on your design yet as I haven't seen your site!
I'm new to freelancer, however I have a fairly big Australian client base.
Feel free to discuss.
