Dropped $400 on a half-assed SEO audit from some guy on Upwork and my organic traffic actually dropped 20% after following his advice.

He told me to strip out all my long-tail keywords and focus on one main term per page, but now I can't rank for anything and my bounce rate went through the roof has anyone else gotten burned by a cheap consultant like this?

Wait you actually stripped out all your long-tail keywords? That's like a chef throwing away all his spices because one customer said the soup was too salty.
