What is SEO?
SEO stands for search engine optimization. If you want your web site to show up in search results when people use search engines such as Google, MSN, and Yahoo - then you will most likely want to make sure your web site is optimized.
Why is it important that my web site is search engine optimized?
Getting your web site search engine optimized is the most cost-effective way to get traffic to your web site. Alternatives, such as paying for advertisements, can really add up over time as they continually cost money.
People are also much more likely to click on, and trust, "organic" search results. Organic search results are search results that are not paid to appear. If you search for something on Google, the organic search results are on the left while the paid results are above and in the right column.
If your web site is a source of income for you, you could be missing out on a lot of revenue when potential customers use search engines, find your competitors - subsequently bringing them business that could have been yours. When proper SEO, you can be funneling customers to your web site. If your a web site potentially has a worldwide client base, just imagine how much incentive there is to use SEO to tap into search-engine-generated revenues. Even if you have a business that just serves people locally, there still might be hundreds or even thousands of people in your area who are using search engines to find the product or service you are offering that could be driven to your site using SEO. There are many web site owners who invest absolutely no money into advertising outside of SEO and do very well.
How much does SEO cost?
Most SEO firms will charge quite a bit to get their clients web sites optimized. The reason why they can charge so much is because, as I have previously described, it is worth it.
With my services, the cost varies. In fact, many of the sites I build for my clients show up in search engine results without paying for SEO services just because of the techniques I use when I build web sites.
The main factor that influences the price will be your target market. If there is a lot of competition in your market, it might take a lot more time and effort to compete and get your web site ranking well in search engines. The only way to get an accurate estimation of the cost would be to contact me and describe your unique needs. let me know about your web site and what service or product you are selling. From there, we can formulate an SEO strategy and I can give you an idea on the cost and what the results would be.
Special SEO Service Deals
For many of my SEO services, I am willing to work out deals. When SEO is performed, it usually takes time for changes in search engine ranking to effect. Because of this, many people are worried if they will get what they paid for. This is very understandable so I have decided to work with my clients.
If your SEO services total to more than $500, I am willing to work out a special deal. The way it works is you only pay 25% up front. Then, when your web site achieves the search engine ranking that you are satisfied with, you pay the rest. This is a great deal that you would be hard pressed to find elsewhere. It's a system I came up with myself to help my clients rest assured that they are getting what they pay for.
