Want to know the unfortunate truth? You’re in a lose lose situation. You know enough about SEO that you’ll never really value someone you hire and will always question the work, looking at what they deliver and knowing you could figure it out and do it yourself. And the person you hire will resent you for being perpetually unsatisfied with their deliverables. I think you need to do one or the other, not a blend. Either cut yourself off from SEO completely, or do it all yourself.
