  • SEO Services

    Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is the act of making edits to your site to gain rankings and traffic. But there’s more to it than that.

    Before your site can even rank, you need to know what it is people are searching in order to find your products or services. We know they are going to Google, but what are they typing in?

    And once they type it in, are they finding your website? Well they should.

    Rank Higher in the Search Engines

    Our SEO Services will help you rank higher in the search engines, using only the most accepted methods as determined by the search engines themselves. By ranking higher, we can drive more traffic to your site and increase sales of your service or product.

    SEO Services You Need

    We don’t lump our SEO services into pages or try to fit every project into a pre-conceived plan. Every project gets a customized SEO solution based on the needs of your business, your budget and your goals.

    Google Places and Local SEO
    Local SEO involves focusing your efforts on ranking for terms that people in your area are using to find your products or services.

  • PPC Management

    The recent years have made PPC marketing an obvious choice for most online businesses. Any why not? The traffic is immediate, the placement can be controlled and you know exactly how much you are spending at any given time. There aren’t many other forms of advertising that compare.

    But are you sure you aren’t paying too much for your PPC campaign? Are you sure that you are getting the best placement for the best search terms, resulting in the best return on your investment?

    This is where our PPC management services come in. With years of experience in PPC advertising we have the knowledge to not only increase the traffic to your site; but we can do it at a decreased cost to your business.

    With extensive keyword research and constant monitoring, we are able to manage your campaign for you to ensure that you are spending your advertising dollars in the most appropriate manner.

    A Strong Foundation

    The best PPC campaign starts with the best setup processes. We take great care in understanding your business’ needs and goals and use that information to conduct extensive research on the keywords used by the searchers looking for you. We then setup a PPC campaign that matches that information, directing visitors to your site with an increased rate of conversions.

    Flexible PPC Management

    Our PPC services are catered to your specific needs and goals. From simple brand-awareness campaigns to comprehensive product sales strategies, we have the ability to provide the perfect advertising solution.

    The management fees are based on your advertising budget so you won’t be paying more for management than your are for traffic. This ensures that you see a real return on your investment.

  • SEO Consulting

    Our SEO consulting services are designed with companies in mind that have the ability to handle their own search engine optimization efforts, but don’t know where to start or how to move forward. Or, maybe you’ve exhausted all of your current efforts, and just can’t seem to gain traction when compared to your competition.

    Either way, we offer our consulting services in several ways to accommodate your needs.

    SEO Consulting Services at a Glance

    This service is perfect for: This service also works well with: Price Ranges
    Any business with the resources to handle aspects of their online markeitng themselves; but with a need for professional advice and guidance. SEO services range from $75 – $1500 investments depending primarily on your needs and methods of consulting.

    Phone Consultation:

    We will schedule a convenient time to discuss your website’s needs in regard to SEO. Once agreed upon, a consultation usually takes place at least 3 days later. This gives us time to analyze your site, industry, competition and best plans of action.

    After the phone consultation, you will be sent a wrap-up of the call, along with a strategy document for your future reference.

    Ask An Expert Online:

    We can also take your questions online, and answer them as they come. If you have a burning question to which you just can’t find an answer, we will most certainly have one. But we don’t just answer your question and send you on your way, we tell you why our answer applies.

    Online questions are handled in one of two ways. If the question is general in nature, we can usually just reply. If your question pertains to your website/business specifically, there is a need for setup time. This will allow us to conduct the proper research so we may answer your needs effectively.

    SEO Consultation Retainer:

    You may also choose to keep us on retainer for help with all your on-going SEO needs in either or both of the consultation capacities. This will allow you to call on us when needed, or email us for a response.

  • Articles About seo forums – SEO Factor

    I warn that I’m about to make a very broad generalization in this post. It isn’t meant to degrade the value of any specific forums or sites; rather, to warn against learning from places that aren’t teaching correctly. I am in the midst of training someone on the particulars of SEO. Obviously, said person has […]

  • Questions We Ask Potential SEO Clients

    Hugo Guzman wrote an interesting post the other day about questions you should as a potential SEO agency (they could easily be translated to questions for an in-house hire or the like). It’s a good read so I suggest checking it out.

    It got me thinking about the questions we ask of the people who contact us for SEO services, and some of the questions we ask in order to properly qualify a project.

    After all, how much good can an SEO provide you if they don’t know what they are getting into?

    Have you identified specific goals for your website, and if so, what are they? Tell us more about your target audience.

    Obviously, we need to know the goals of any marketing campaign before we can achieve them. And the specifics of a goal help to determine what actions we take.

    There are no right answers; as a goal can be brand awareness, increased traffic/rankings, to make a sale, etc.

    More importantly though, this question also gives us some insight as to the current mindset of the business owner. It would be easy to say that about 40% of the people that contact us don’t actually have a concrete goal just yet.

    This is ok, as we can usually help a business owner understand the different types of online marketing methods we can implement and what their returns look like.

    What differentiates you from your competitors?

    This can sometimes be difficult to answer, especially for “common” businesses. We are looking for anything at all that can spark a future conversation.

    This can be as simple as “better customer service” or as complex as “we work closely with XYZ vendor to ensure 100% compliance to the ABC protocol all while managing your PDQ needs.”

    Give us just a little bit of clay and we can mold an online marketing masterpiece. The more clay, the nicer the piece.

    Have you identified any problems to which you are looking for a solution?

    Similar to goals, are you having any specific problems online? Did rankings/traffic drop? Did your site disappear all together. We simply need to know this stuff in case we need to initiate a “fix-it” plan.

    Have you been tracking online performance thus far? To what capacity?

    In this question we are looking for what metrics you have been monitoring. This helps us to know of your perception of your site’s performance and the current state of said performance.

    Sometimes, it even helps us to understand where we need to educate you as there are a million tools out there, some of which give inaccurate data.

    Are you looking for a long-term strategy or short term gains?

    It’s very important for us to know what sort of campaign you desire. If someone is looking for quick returns, we are likely to move the conversation into PPC management. If you’re looking for a long-term, lasting strategy, then SEO is the obvious pick.

    This also ensures that we are on the same page as the business owner with regard to turn-around time.

    Are you looking for a national online marketing campaign, or one that targets a specific region?

    Local search has been big business for us over the last few years, and it seems that it will only grow. As such, the answer to this question helps us determine a strategy to meet your needs as marketing for your local crowd and selling products to the nation via your online store are mutually exclusive.

    Have you had any previous SEO efforts implemented on the site? Details please.

    This one is very important. We learned early on to get an understanding of past SEO efforts and the details on them. Though decreasing in number, we still get a few sites that have been taken on by poor SEO firms. We need to know this so we can know what we will have to clean up.

    More recently though, we are seeing legitimately “good” SEO efforts. We still need to know about this because there may be something we can build on or we can put our efforts elsewhere depending on what has been done.

    We also want to know why that effort has been stopped. Was there a disagreement in achievement/methods? This certainly wouldn’t stop us from moving forward, but it does help us to understand the desires of the business owner and ensure that we are setting the right expectations.

    Do you have someone on your staff to make changes on the site, or will we be doing that?

    This is way more important than it sounds. Whether there have been past efforts or not, we haven’t had a site yet that didn’t warrant a few changes here or there. Also, it’s nice to know if someone else is in the kitchen; at which point we will request communications with said person(s).

    This is usually a designer, and it’s important that we have an amicable working relationship. We need to know if it’s possible someone could undo or modify our work and do our best to prevent stepping on each others’ toes.

    What level of involvement do you wish to have in your online marketing efforts?

    We’ve heard every answer from “tell me every time you change a single character” to “just do what you do and tell me when it’s done.” Though we can accommodate both of these and most situations in between, it’s important to understand what it is you want to know.

    This also helps us to determine if a Do-it-for-me SEO service is a possible solution, or should we consider providing an SEO consultation plan.

    Even if someone wants to be as ‘hands-off’ as possible, we try to come up with at least a minimum schedule to report and evaluate progress.

    The answers to these questions usually lead to further conversations, but these give us quite a bit to work with. Sometimes the questions you are asked will differ, but that’s ok. Every SEO firm is different.

  • SEO. It’s As Simple As…

    Browsing the Internet as I do, I often come across posts/questions/sites with SEO information.

    LinkedIn for example, has a Q&A section in which one could ask a question, and others may answer them. But when it comes to questions regarding SEO, I want to pass along this warning.

    A lot of times a member will ask a question regarding SEO or Internet marketing in general and receive a large number of answers (a lot of SEO fish in this pond). But the problem arises when the answers are from people who don’t actually “know” SEO as much as they know of it.

    Answers like:

    “Just make sure you do these 2 things and you’ll be ok…”

    I’m not saying this is bad advice. Actually, these are most often from people with the greatest of intentions. But you know how the saying goes:

    “Good intentions pave the path to fast food restaurants, and that leads to heart failure.”

    or something like that.

    These answers are a problem because of the specific nature of the questions. Without really getting into a site, answers like these can not only not help, but actually hurt a site’s performance.

    Remember that every site is different. What works for one may be a hindrance for another. Unfortunately, there are no “right” answers when it comes to Internet marketing, but there are plenty of wrong ones.

    On one such question today, I recalled a situation that often arises with our website design partners.

    White Label vs. SEO Consulting

    Our private label SEO service has been booming lately. It’s going really well and has created a lot of excitement (as well as questions on the direction of the business all together). I mean think about it.

    A web designer or firm is able to add a revenue-generating service to their clients, boosting satisfaction, and they don’t even have to do the work or hire anyone. This stuff sells itself.

    But we do get a lot of freelance designers that simply don’t have the flow of work to justify solidifying a relationship. So, as a solution we work on a consulting basis with said designer on a few of their projects until they get the hang of the basics.

    This doesn’t make them SEO Rockstars, and so far they haven’t touted themselves as such. But it does give them some insight to use while designing their sites and helping their clients.

    So, be careful with the advice you are give on blogs or Q&A sites. And if in doubt, don’t hesitate to ask a professional.
