Why Choose SEO?

Do you need to hire an seo firm? Are you on page 1 of Google for your business keywords in your city? Are you turning away work already because you are too booked up? Have you answered “no” to these?

Where do your leads come from? If you are like almost all businesses today, your leads are coming from search results. Organic search results, not adwords.
A Top SEO company can delver these leads to you.

Think about this. When you are looking to get more info on something, you Google it. You don’t go past the first page and you don’t click on the ads. It’s just a fact. People assume that the top ranking websites are the best. Therefore you never even go to page 2 of Google. So what makes you think your potential clients will?

SEO is an investment in your business. A good SEO company knows this and make sure your expectations are not unreasonable. If you see and ad for an SEO company claiming to “rank your site in 30 days for only $297.00”, a few things are possible.

1.    They are going to rank you for a super easy term that will bring you no clients and then up sell the hell out of other services
2.    They are going to use shady black hat techniques to give you a super quick ranking that is almost sure to get your business de-indexed from Google. Good luck coming back from that

So consider your SEO an investment. Interview different SEO Companies/experts and tell them your goals. You should have a list of keywords that you want to rank for. Also ask you SEO to suggest keywords that are relevant to your niche. If you already have a website get a quality SEO audit to see where the weal spots of your site are.

SEO Case Study Social Stacking And Bookmarking

SEO Case Study – No Link Ranking and Social Stacking

I’d like to share a case study of a very recent client-ranking project I did. The keywords my client was going for were pretty high competition.  Not outrageous amounts of searches. The searches ranged from about 950 a month to about 1100 searches a month. The thing that we want to focus on here is the amount of competion for those clicks. Google Adwords clicks were costing people $23.00 a click. That means if my client were going to use Adwords he would be paying $2185.00 to compete. Here is how we get this number. We will use the low month. 950 searches

1. Google Adwords ads only get about 10% of the clicks when people search so my client could expect about 95 clicks that month.
2. 95 clicks X $23.00 = $2185.00

This isn’t a problem if every new client pays you $10,000 for your service. However if you are earning $750.00 for every new client, you better have some serious sales copy on your webpage to convert those cold clicks. You will need to convert 4 clients a month.

That’s where I came in. My client had no site. Didn’t even own the domain. We started easy and here is what we did and what you can do too.

1. We made a Wordpress site on his brand new domain and created 4 pages. The pages were titled after his keywords. And no I’m not sharing that info.
2. We created content on 2 of those pages. Just small 300-400 word articles with some pics and alt text (very important)
3. This is where the magic (and super simple) happened. We created accounts on the 4 main social media sites: Facebook, Google+, Youtube, and Twitter. All of these sites linked back to his main site (duh that’s pretty obvious) and also each one of them linked to each other. That’s called “social stacking” and it works great right now. By the way when you start a new site, absolutely positively do this BEFORE getting links from other sites or PBN’s. Let Google see that you are not hiding or being sneaky (by the way, I made sure the site was indexed before social stacking).

So what happened? We used Wincher to track the keyword rankings and they did the “Google Dance” a little bit and then shot right up the SERP’s. We still have more work to secure the top spot but my client is extremely extremely pleased and understands this is a process and you should too if you are hiring an SEO agency. If they say they guarantee you top spot in a month or less, lace up your sneakers and run as fast as you can. With this technique and this hungry competition we made it to the 2^nd page in a month. But these are rankings that will stick. Also I should mention, my client’s competition is being done by some the best Boston SEO agencies.

I know this stuff seems so simple yet so many SEO’s get hung up on getting the super powerful links right away that it looks unnatural to Google. Also this is just the off page SEO. The on page SEO is extremely important. This article was long enough but if you would like me to tell you the on page SEO I did shoot me message at agpunkseo@gmail.com or leave a comment below. Also if you feel that I gave you some value with this article please comment below and share it on some of your social media sites. Thank you very much
