What is SEO?
SEO, or search engine optimization,
is a set of methods and procedures aimed at getting a website
listed on the highest possible positions on search engine results
pages (SERPs). As SEO helps make websites more visible to people
who browse the Internet, it has become an integral component
of any online marketing campaign, often achieving many of the
objectives of paid advertising at a fraction of the cost.
top
|
|
| |
Who benefits from
SEO?
Businesses that wish
to establish a strong online brand or simply want to reach more
people would benefit greatly from high rankings and top positions
in search engines. Even individuals or non-profit organizations
that just want to be accessible to a wider market could have
their website optimized.
top
|
|
| |
Why do I need SEO?
Assuming that your website contains
valuable and compelling information, the higher accessiblity
to the public could easily translate to more leads, sales, and
repeat visits.
top
|
|
| |
I don’t cater to
international clients. Why should I get my website optimized?
Even if you don’t cater to international
clients, you would benefit greatly from making your website
highly accessible to anyone searching for your products and
or services.
Public perception is a powerful thing, and by simply being visible
and readily accessible to your clients via the search engines
will surely encourage repeat visits to your websites, and repeat
purchases or patronage of what you have to offer. Your website
is a poweful tool. We suggest that you make full use of it to
gain every bit of an advantage over your competitors.
top
|
|
| |
How does SEO work?
Basically, we fix and clean your
website's code, write optimized content, and submit your website
to major search engines and directories so that when someone
conducts a search using the keywords you have approved, your
website will appear on the first 2 pages of the search engine
results page. Click here to read a more detailed explanation
of our SEO Methodology or how we do it.

|
| |
What results will
I get from SEO?
At US SEO,
we focus on getting your website listed on the top 20 search
engines, the most important of which are Google, Yahoo, MSN,
AOL, and Ask Jeeves. These search engines collectively account
for around 90% of all web traffic, and are responsible for half
of all e-commerce transactions. And because your satisfaction
is our objective, we guarantee results on our work. Beware of
firms that guarantee rankings on thousands of search engines,
and those that guarantee the top position on the SERPs. A professional
SEO campaign will not attempt to optimize a site for the thousands
of search engines on the Internet, as it is pointless and really
just nice to hear.
top
|
|
| |
Can you guarantee
that my website will achieve the top position?
No. Achieving the top position on the search engine results
page is dependent on many different factors. Professional SEO
firms appreciate the highly dynamic nature of the Internet and
the search engines and would rarely guarantee the top position.
Common keywords are very competitive, and while highly unique
keywords might get you the top position, very few people would
probably think of using those keywords to find your website
in the first place. Achieving the top position takes time, a
growing number of site visits and links from external sites
(that are highly ranked themselves), and a continuous effort
to produce content that is relevant to your market. At US SEO,
we get you on the right track by placing your website within
the Top 20 rankings of the major search engines.

|
|
| |
How will I know
if the SEO performed on my website is truly effective?
Basically, you’ll know that your
website is properly optimized when you get Top 20 rankings in
the major search engines’ results pages. How soon you
will achieve this will depend on how competitive your market
is and how effective your website’s content is in generating
repeat visits from your audience. (The reality is that because
some markets are more competitive than others, there are websites
that can’t be optimized in the way that we would want,
in as short a time that we would like. But our experience has
shown that we can indeed optimize 9 out of 10 of our clients’
websites. That’s a success rate of 90%.)
top
|
|
| |
How can you guarantee
rankings for my website if you’re optimizing so many other
websites as well?
So far,
we have optimized more than 1,000 websites that have achieved
visibility in the major search engines. Our clients' markets
are often different in some way and we simply need to focus
on using keywords that your specific market would actually use
to find your products and services. Indeed, while optimization
will expose you to more people, you will in fact be narrowing
your scope to people that are relevant to your business. After
all, studies have shown that visits from relevant users tend
to result in multiple repeat visits in the long run.
top
|
|
| |
How long will it
take before I see results?
It
takes about 4 months on the average before your website achieves
relevant rankings on the search engines. During this time, the
search engines index your website, which means that your webpages
are placed in the queues for search engines to review.
top
|
|
| |
How do I track my
website’s performance on the search engines?
Each month, we will provide you with
a Visibility Report, which will show your website’s status
across the major search engines. This makes it easy for you
to assess your website’s performance on a regular basis
without having to visit each and every search engine. You could
also use our report to support your online marketing ROI computations
top
|
|
| |
Does my website
need to be continuously resubmitted to get on and stay on the
search engine listings?
No.
Search engines strongly encourage that websites be submitted
only once. We do monthly maintenance work to make sure that
your website is always on the top of the listings.
top
|
|
| |
I’ve had my
website for years. Can it still be optimized?
Absolutely.
While SEO is most effective when incorporated into the initial
development and design of a site, it can be every bit as effective
in improving the performance of existing websites in terms of
increasing both the number and quality of their visitors. It
is important to note, however, that the bigger and the more
complex the website is, the more work it will require to optimize.
Sometimes, minor troubleshooting and copywriting will do the
job; in other cases, redevelopment of the entire site could
be required.
top
|
|
| |
Can I optimize
my website myself?
Some aspects
of optimization can be done by just about anybody who’s
willing to learn. However, professional optimization work requires
deep technical skills and experience. Optimizers often have
to clean up code and need to understand how dynamic websites
with databases work. Optimization in itself is a tedious and
time consuming process; and one of the biggest challenges for
search engine optimizers is the fact that the major search engines
are constantly updating their already very complex algorithms,
or the way they look at and rank web pages. Search engines do
this to keep search results relevant to users and to weed out
websites that don’t deserve to be ranked high on their
listings (especially those who resort to deceptive techniques
such as spamdexing, cloaking, and the like).
A good SEO firm will keep up with
the changes in the search engines, continue to study users’
search behavior and practices, and focus on assisting site
owners in producing high quality websites with content that
is relevant to a specific group of users.
top
|
|
| |
My website has
already been submitted to several search engines. Why would
I still need your service?
Submitting
your website to search engines is only one step in the optimization
process. It is important that your website's code, layout, and
content be fixed and optimized as these are the major factors
that search engines look for in a quality website.
top
|
|
| |
Is search engine
optimization legal?
Absolutely.
In fact, major search engines post guidelines that help web
designers, programmers, and webmasters optimize their websites
for search engine listing. However, some SEO firms put their
clients’ websites at risk by disregarding these guidelines just
so they could achieve top rankings without making an effort
to create value for search engine users. As a result, many websites
have been blacklisted by the search engines. At US SEO, we follow
these guidelines carefully, and we only employ tried and tested
optimization methods that deliver results without putting your
website and your business at risk.

How long does keyword
research take?
Our keyword
research is a comprehensive process that evaluates how your
target audience currently uses search engines to find websites
like yours, and how the top ranked websites in your segment
have succeeded in attaining top search engine positions. The
process typically takes 1 week, provided that you give us sufficient
information about your company as well as your products or services.
We have developed an easy to use keyword profiler to help you
provide us with these information.

| |
Can you optimize
websites with flash animation?
Yes.
While search engines do not recognize content in flash elements,
we can (with your consent) always add optimized content to your
website.
top
|
|
| |
What software do
you use to optimize websites?
We
make use of effective optimization methods that other professional
SEO providers also employ. At the same time, we have developed
propietary in-house tools that allow us to streamline and speed
up an otherwise time-consuming optimization process.

Why can't I find
your site on using keywords that describe your service?
The reality is that some markets
are more competitive than others. In the search engine optimization
world, the keywords SEO or search engine optimization are known
to be ridiculously competitive. There are many websites that
claim to offer search engine optimization services, and many
of them have been on the search engines for years. Unfortunately,
in the SEO world, position on search engines is not necessarily
an indicator of great value and efficient service. After all,
we’ve found that some of the more highly rated SEO firms can’t
be found on top of the SERPs either. We prefer to focus our
efforts on marketing our services through a variety of channels
rather than to compete with them on the search engine results
pages.

How does your Money
Back Guarantee work?
We immediately
work on optimizing your website as soon as you sign up. We will
then monitor your site’s ranking in the major search engines
for 5 months. If, after 5 months, your website does not appear
in the Top 20 rankings of major search engines, then we will
re-optimize it for free. We will then observe your website’s
performance again for 5 months. If it is still not optimized
after the 10th month, then we will give you a full refund.
