Do you offer any guarantees for SEO results?

Chris Genge
Oct 25, 2019

We do not offer guarantees as we feel that most SEO guarantees are misleading and designed to give the customer a false sense of security. Furthermore, Google clearly warns against any SEO company offering guarantees. We inform potential new customers what they need in order to obtain the results they want. We need to ensure that proper web server setup, web design, website reputation and SEO are all in order since they all play a role in obtaining positive outcomes. Search engine optimization services make up only one aspect of any Internet marketing strategy that can make a website successful. Offering a guarantee for search engine optimization services would be like telling someone that if they buy the world’s best car they will be the world’s best driver. What we do offer is a full range of SEO marketing services. It includes personalized consultation directed at the customer’s specific needs to ensure our best chances for success.

Our professional search engine optimization services are specifically designed for your needs.

Improved web analytics continue to play a major role in helping to improve your web page’s reputation with the search engines.

Do you offer set campaign prices or hourly rates?

Chris Genge

Most of our clients like to buy “campaign packages.” This gives them a set number of hours each month for us to work on growing their visibility. This also gives them a discount rather than paying our hourly rate. It makes it easier to budget their Marketing expense for the month or year. Other clients prefer to pay as they go for the work that they need from us. We can also provide training to help you learn how to implement basic SEO on your website. Our flexibility to work within your budget and preferences is the best part!

Why does the cost of SEO services vary?

Chris Genge
Oct 25, 2019

There are several factors we account for when determining an SEO price quote for a website, including: -The target market. -The range of products and services we optimize. -The geographical reach of the campaign. -The competitiveness of your industry. -The number of pages on your website. -The level of optimization currently on your current website. -The speed at which you want to grow your campaign. -The level of results you want to achieve. -The duration of the campaign. Generally, we provide a couple SEO price options with varying expectations for the performance. For example, a slow traffic growth campaign focusing on a single niche service would be less expensive than a fast paced campaign focused on several services.
