Search Engine Optimization
It's quite possibly the most hyped, most misunderstood and potentially most important area of web site design, and it seems that almost everyone these days is a "search engine optimization expert."
Information (as well as misinformation) abounds about how to artificially boost your search engine rankings. The hard truth is that there is no "easy way" to make your web site jump up to #1 in Google, and almost all (we're being kind here) of the people who tell you they can guarantee a #1 search ranking are scammers.
Before you consider hiring anyone to do search engine work on your behalf, we suggest taking a look at our Top 10 SEO Myths (left-hand side of this page). In most cases, it will cost a so called "SEO Expert" nothing if they provide you with inaccurate information that hurts or destroys your web rankings, and they will often provide shoddy warranty claims to back up their work.
For example, we have heard of companies who offer a 50% money back guarantee. If, after six months time you did not see an increase in rankings, you would receive 50% of your money back. It may sound fine on the surface, but let's consider the issues with this guarantee.
Our experience has taken web sites that were seeing as little as 30 visitors a day with their prior web designer, to over 500 unique visitors per day, without the use of pay per clicks or offline advertising. It has brought companies who were in very poor shape from past SEO mistakes back to success again, and it has established companies who had no prior web site firmly within their respective industries online.
If you are looking to build your organic search engine rankings, gain recognition for a new web site or recover lost rankings from one that's been tarnished by another firm, we'd love to help you. Simply give us a call at 800.203.8139 or e-mail us today.

- They can do absolutely nothing, and receive 50% of the payment if the site doesn't raise in rankings.
- They can do absolutely nothing, and receive 100% if the site happens to increase in rank on it's own.
- They can completely destroy your hard-earned search engine rankings, and the 50% return will be of no consolation.
