Each of us brings a unique story that has impacted our life in both positive and negatives ways. Each of us endures a personal struggle and we develop methods of coping.

First off do what you can to make sure your “Organic FREE SEO” is in place. Most of our clients like their “ranking” placement after we work with them to ensure their “Organic SEO” is maximized. Organic SEO (in simple terms) is ensuring keywords and key phrases, important to your business, are placed throughout your website. Some of these keywords need to show up in the content that is displayed on your webpage, and some of these keywords need to be placed (behind the scenes) in areas such as in meta title and alt tags. Another good idea is to include keywords (that make sense) in the naming of your images for your website. (A good rule of thumb for naming images is to use lowercase names with dashes (-) not spaces in the image name.)

First make sure you have a good grasp of the “Basics of SEO“. Once a business has a website they are often contacted by SEO companies promising to make sure their website shows up on the first page of “Google”. They often promise to make you the top #1 position. Many of these companies want to charge you $300 to $500 a month for that service. I believe that 85% of these companies are basically trying to blow smoke up your **#*!*. Plus many of our clients are already found on the first page of ‘Google” when their keywords are entered into a search engine without spending the additional $300 to $500 a month. And….if you are thinking of hiring an SEO company, and before parting with any of your hard earned money, make sure you have created defined tangible SEO website traffic goals.
