If you just don't have the time or
inclination, or are having trouble getting ranked in the top 10 (1st page),
I offer a set-up and optimization service for $500, which includes Google,
Yahoo & Bing (formerly MSN Live Search), due in advance.
The going rate is $500-$1,000 just for Google set-up
and seo, so it's a deal! I can make no guarantees except that
I'll do my best, because I'm not the search engines. It will be up to you to
provide any photos you want to use, your logo, a link to your YouTube
channel if applicable, information regarding any coupons you want to
advertise, etc., prior to set-up. Any future tweaks or changes you request
will be billed at my hourly rate

General overview
of what's included in my Search Engine
Optimization (SEO) Services:
1.
Keyword Analysis: I start with in-depth keyword
research using the best keyword finder tools. This
allows me to provide you with a comprehensive list from
which to choose keywords that will allow for the greatest
chance of ranking success. Effective search engine marketing requires
targeting phrases that are not only popular, but where the
number of competing sites is not overwhelming. Keyword research
will also
tell us if we need to create
any additional content or pages for your site, based on what
people are looking for. Each product or service you offer
needs to have its own page, linked from the home page via a
text based hyperlink that contains a keyword.
For example, instead of a link to your services page that simply reads
services, you should have a
page for each service, linked from your home page via
keywords, i.e. keyword 1 service,
keyword 2 service,
keyword 3 service and so
forth.
2. Title & Description Tags: I create a unique
title and description tag for
each
page in your site. Your title and description tags
control how your search engine listings read, and are instructions to
the search engines that tell them how to list your pages.
Every page should have a different title and description,
and has the ability to rank on its own, acting as a
doorway through which visitors can enter.
3. Content & Navigation Optimization: I edit your
text to ensure the keywords are being used effectively, and
that your content validates
what is advertised in the title and description tags. This is the stage where I add any missing
SEO elements to your site and set-up the page structure for the
best possible chance of ranking high, including evaluating
and adjusting your internal navigation and making sure your
anchor (linking) text contains keywords.
4. Image Alt Text: I make sure all your images
have alt text. Alt text is substitute text that
displays when an image is missing or when the page is being
viewed with a text only browser. Missing alt text causes
accessibility errors for text only browsers. Search engines
view your site much as a text only browser does, so it is
best to make sure there are no errors. It is
speculated that browser errors can hurt your ability to
rank.
5. Creation of a robots.txt file or meta-tag:
This tells the search engine crawlers which directories and pages in
your site should be indexed and which are private and should
not be served up to the public.
6. Creation of an XML Sitemap: This is not a
sitemap for visitors, but exists just for the search engines. They use
it to learn about the structure of your site and to increase
their coverage of your pages. It helps ensure they can
find and index all the pages in your site.
7.
Search Engine Submission: For new sites that
have not yet been crawled and indexed, I hand-submit your
XML sitemap to the three major search engines: Google,
Yahoo Web Results, and Bing (formerly MSN Live Search). A one-time submission is all
that's needed. A site does not have to be submitted
for a search engine to find it. They find sites all on
their own. Here is what Google says about site submission:
"Inclusion in Google's
search results is free and easy; you don't even need to
submit your site to Google. Google is a fully automated
search engine that uses software known as "spiders" to
crawl the web on a regular basis and find sites to add
to our index. In fact, the vast majority of sites listed
in our results aren't manually submitted for inclusion,
but found and added automatically when our spiders crawl
the web."

Very Important:
You will need to establish backward links. The search
engines see
every link to your site as a vote for your site,
which increases your sites popularity.
Bottom line, the most
important ranking factor is the number of
inbound links a site has.
Link
Building Services:
Some keywords
phrases require thousands or even millions of links to rank. Call
me and I will be happy to explain what it will take to get
your site to the top, based on how many inbound links your
top ranking competitors have. I can show you how to
see this information for yourself for any site, so you just don't
have to take my or someone else's word for it. If you
do need a very aggressive one way link building service, it is still very
affordable in comparison to what most
companies spend for Yellow Pages advertising, PPC
(pay-per-click) or other advertising methods, and is sure to pay
for itself easily when the sales start piling up every month from that 1st
page ranking you'll be sure to eventually have on all three major
search engines.

information and pricing.

backward link building tips.
