What is SEO - Search Engine Optimization? |
| | |
| |
Search Engine Optimization ( SEO ) is the method of improving the volume and quality of traffic to your website from search engines. |
| | |
| |
Why do websites appear at the top of the list when using a Search Engine? |
| | |
| |
We could write an entire book on this question and some people have. Simply put Search Engines rank websites in an order that they believe provide the searcher with the most pertinent websites that apply to the keywords searched. Optimizing your website so that your website provides value to the searcher in relation to particular keywords is the starting point. |

| |
How can my website be at or near the top of the list? |

Why does Search Engine Optimization (SEO) offer such a high return on investment (ROI)? |
| | |
| |
This is an oversimplified and generalized example comparing a bulk mailing campaign and Search Engine Optimization.
If you conduct a direct mailing campaign you are targeting a list of individuals who may or may not be interested in your service, so it is difficult to accurately forecast current or future purchases.
With Search Engine Optimization (SEO) you are targeting an audience of consumers that are at their peak point of interest because they are searching for a good or service with a purchase in mind. |

How many consumers will actually look past the first page of Search Engine results? |
| | |
| |
We estimate that the number of consumers that will not look past the first page of Search Engine results is between 60% and 75%. |
| | |
| |
I don't care about learning about SEO, I just want more website traffic and more leads, can you do that? |
| | |
| |
Yes. Most of our customers are interested in results and not the process. You want your tax return completed, you do not want to become a CPA. If you want to learn we will teach you, otherwise we will not explain the process and let you focus on running your business. |
| | |
| |
How Long Does SEO Take to Work? |
| |
Depending on what your organization's goals are, Search Engine Optimization (SEO) for your website can take one month to a several months to see improved search engine results. Like any marketing plan, SEO involves strategy and depends on building up your website's reputation over time.
Another important criterion is the current competition for the keywords you are interested in and the geographical target market. For example, with most keywords you could realize quicker results for local search versus a regional, national, or global search.

| |
|
| |
How will I know when it's working? |
| |
We will post a weekly or monthly search engine status report in your secure client area to let you know about the progress we're making. Besides our reports, you'll notice an increase in traffic to your site as well as increases in sales leads by email and telephone. |
