SEO FAQs
SEO is an extremely valuable investment. If we rank you for a keyword that costs $5 per click in AdWords (there's no cost per click with SEO) and it brought 100 visitors to your website each month. The value of ranking for just that one keyword would be worth $500. Rank 10 keywords and the value is $5,000 per month. Our SEO packages are all under $1,000 so it's not hard to see a solid value for ranking.
The process is easy! We do all the work for you, you sit back, relax and enjoy rankings.

We use the Google Keyword Tool to find keywords that have traffic and that we feel will get the best ROI. You ultimately have the final say on the keyword choice and you can have us add or remove keywords based on what you feel are most valuable for your business. And, you can change the keywords at any time.
We make sure your business address is properly linked on your website to your Google My Business page to give your full authority with Google.
We use the blogs to build quality content, build links and to grow your website. Content is king and the bigger your website and more quality content we build the easier it is to rank you. Please note, our goal is to rank your website's core pages not to rank the blog content this is why most of your blog content will not be keyword heavy.

Citations are high profile business listings on websites such as Yelp, Yahoo, local.com, Bing, Citysquares, Yellowpages, Localpages, Foursquare, EzLocal to name a few. They organize business listings by categories, locations, services and allow us to put in your contact information, logo, website URL, keywords and information about your business. These are done one time. Since they are manually done it can take up to 45 days to complete.
What does this metric mean and how do we calculate the visibility score?
To put it simply, the visibility metric shows you the percentage of all possible organic clicks (from SERPs) for the tracked keywords landing on your website.
The score is calculated by dividing the traffic to the site by the total search traffic for all keywords. Ranking for keywords with higher search volumes have more influence on the visibility score.
For example:
If you only track a single keyword and all top 10 positions in Google are occupied by pages of your website (which means you get all possible traffic from that keyword) – your visibility is 100%.
But if you only occupy the #1 spot, while the rest are taken by your competitors, your visibility would be somewhere around 30% (depending on the CTR curve of the search results for that particular keyword).
Thus, if your average position is higher than your competitors, you will not necessarily have a better visibility score.
