Our SEO services

What we can offer
 
Our search engine optimization service is easy to describe.
We help you in web promotion.
We take your website and "move" it to the first page of search engines (Google, Yahoo!, MSN) by defined keywords.
 
How much is it?
 
The question is similar to "how much is a house?".
It is impossible to answer without knowing a) location, b) house footage, c) age, d) neighborhood, e)... f)... g)...
 
The same is here.
The price depends on domain name age, your industry, number of competitors, etc.
 
Let's say it is pretty much easy to be number one in Google by your name or your company name as a keyword.
However some very common keywords like "cars", "real estate", "insurance", etc. are usually very expensive.
 
Instead of promoting by very common keywords we'd recommend to use more detailed search phrases like "mortgage in Chicago", "real estate Toronto" or "car insurance California" - they are easier to get, less expensive and bring target visitors to your website.
 
A visitor interested in "an insurance" is usually not your customer.
Your customer is a visitor requested "auto insurance Florida for Mercedes convertible" (insert your business industry and geographical location into the request).
 
Also some industries are very competetive so it could cost a lot to get some results there.
We can mention both home and auto insurance, real estate, financial services (mortgages, loan consolidation, etc), health products, travelling. If you need to achieve your goals in these high-demand categories please be prepared it is a bit longer and more expensive process comparing to other fields.
 
If some other SEO companies already tried to promote your website with no luck, that could be a negative point because they might use some "black methods" so the website could be even banned by search engines.
It is the worst case scenario and hopefully the situation with your website is not that bad.
 
So the price is always unique and adjusted to your particular case.
