FAQ

No reputable SEO will guarantee a top 10 ranking. Google, Bing, and all the other search engines have their own proprietary way they rank websites. The algorithm they use for ranking sites often changes and we as SEO professionals adapt to those modification. With that said, SEO can help your site rank higher and often place in the top 10. We regularly get clients into the top 5 but can not guarantee placement. The only way to ensure that your site is displayed on the first page of the search engine rankings is to do SEM (aka Pay-Per-Click or Search Engine Placement)

The time frame to see results from an SEO campaign can be a little as a few weeks to as long as several months. If you already have a website that has been online for a while and indexed by the search engines, that site will see a rise in ranking faster than a brand new site.

Adding a blog can increase the number of keywords your website ranks for as well as help improve the rankings for your other pages. See this article about small business blogging benefits.

Search Engine Marketing (SEM) is different from Search Engine Optimization (SEO) due to the way your site is presented and ranked in a search engine. With SEM, also referred to as Pay-Per-Click or Search Engine Placement, you bid on keywords in order to get your advertisement placed in the search engine results. For example, in Google these paid ads are placed above the organic listings in a beige box and on the far right side of the page.

Search Engine Optimization is a process of getting your site ranked in the free organic listings that are located on the left hand side of the page. While no one can guarantee placement in the organic ranks it is possible to structure your site so it does rank higher.

Search Engine Placement is just another name for Pay-Per-Click and Search Engine Marketing (SEM) .
