FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
The only standard price I have is $300 for an in-depth assessment in order to understand the reality of my client's ability to improve their search visibility. That assessment/audit will identify the highest priorities, quick fixes, competitive realities and longer-term projects.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I guess I will start with a heads-up. No SEO consultant can guarantee first page or #1 rankings. Organic search rankings are based on very smart algorithms that consider the work your competition has been doing in contrast with the competitive level of the keywords you are trying to rank highly on. If your website is new and you are in a very competitive industry, we have to look for the lowest competitive keywords that are still relevant to your business products or services. That will give you SOME visibility rather than NO visibility.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am Google-certified in Google's Adwords online advertising service and have been trained in SEO with dozens of books, online resources and 12 years of rolled up sleeves. I stay current by following all of the industry's top bloggers and websites.
