For a solo consultant in a competitive market, the fact that they’re actively building domain authority is a good sign. It tells you they understand this is a long game and are laying the groundwork instead of pretending overnight wins are realistic. They’re not coasting on a brand name or legacy traffic, they’re pushing uphill in a crowded space, which is exactly what most of your business will face too. Would I hire them purely on this? If you need a partner who knows how to grow from a relatively low authority position in a tough market, they’re aligned with your reality and their own domain backs that up. If you’re expecting instant dominance or already play in a hyper competitive national or global niche, I’d talk with them about timelines and past client results before signing.
