Common Questions & Answers
If I use your search engine optimization service, will I get more business & sales?
More than likely, yes!
Of course, we don't make any such guarantee's, but our aim is to increase the relevant traffic to your web site.
Almost all companies find that this in turn generates significantly higher levels of sales and revenue.

client testimonials to see how our services have helped others just like you to improve their business.
Can you, or anyone, guarantee top results on Google?
Many SEO companies claim to be able to guarantee top results on Google, but you should check the fine print before proceeding.
It simply isn't possible to make any such guarantee's, and it would be misleading to attempt to do so.
The primary purpose of search engine optimization is to ensure that your web site pages can be indexed, that they are search engine friendly, well prepared and focussed, and that they contain appropriate levels of keywords.
Ultimately, the goal of the SEO process is to increase the levels of appropriate traffic to your web site, not to guarantee you #1 results for search phrases that no-one is using.
How quickly will I see the results of the SEO in Google?
Usually we start to see improved results within 2 - 4 weeks, or sooner.
It depends on many factors, and it usually takes a little longer for newer web sites.
However, search engine optimization shouldn't be considered a quick fix to getting top placement and lots of new sales. SEO is a middle to long term strategy to improve your web site performance on the search engine results pages, and therefore increase traffic, and hopefully sales.
Why should I take your SEO service instead of any other SEO firm?
Technical Knowledge & Honesty
There is no other SEO company that can match us for our vast experience or technical knowledge of the SEO task, including web programming software and languages.
However, even more importantly (and refreshingly so), we are principled and honest. We make every attempt to explain everything in plain english, both what we do and why we're doing it. In working with us, you will finally completely understand the SEO process and in how to manage it for yourself without us in the future.
One of our aims is to empower you to continue to grow and expand your website and your business successfully, adding ever more content and maintaining the top search engine results we attained for you.
We don't expect you to be tethered to us for the life of your website. We will always be there to support you if you need us, but our expectation is for you to not need any further SEO help by the end of the 12 month programme.
Choosing to work with us is not only the right move to make, it's the smart move to make. Just ask any of our clients.
All the SEO companies say they are different, and honest. How can I believe you?
Call us!
There is no greater proof of the pudding, than in the eating.
Time and again, after just one initial phone call, new clients tell us what a breath of fresh air it is to talk to an expert who can clearly demonstrate an in-depth understanding of SEO and the search engines; but to do so using plain English that is instantly understandable. The difference between what we have to say, and everyone else you might talk to about SEO, is as clear as night is to day.
You too will feel this way after our intial phone call.
Find out for yourself - call us. You'll be glad you did.
My website has hundreds of pages. Will you optimise every page?
No
We expect to search engine optimise roughly 5 - 10 pages of any website. The critical pages. Most websites, other than ecommerce / shopping sites, have a small number of critical pages for their services / products.
However, larger websites & the ecommerce sites typically have a CMS that drives them. These are dynamic websites, or sites with dynamic web pages. Therefore we look to optimise the pages in a dynamic fashion also.
Where the content on a large number of pages needs to be updated for optimisation purposes, we will carefully guide you through the changes that need to made.
How can you possibly handle 500 manual directory submissions for every client?
We have a large dedicated team, 36 strong, working 24 hrs, in 3 shifts of 12. The teams are kept very busy, but it does take up to 6 weeks to complete the campaign.
In fairness, it's far from being a highly technical task, but it does require training and patience. For every directory we submit your website to, our team must select the appropriate category for your website, and choose an appropriate description and link text which will be crucial to the success of the overall campaign.
Currently we have a database in excess of 1,600 SEO friendly directories that we can submit too, so our team select the most appropriate ones for your industry.
The links generated by directory submissions should not be considered high quality links. However, the power of these links is in the sheer quantity of them, rather than quality. They will give your optimised website the kick start boost that it needs to perform well on the search engines - specifically Google.
What is the monthly cost of your SEO service?
There are no monthly subscription charges at all
The amount you pay for our service covers the entire cost of the service we provide.
There are no hidden costs of any kind, and we do not have any clients paying any kind of monthly subscription at all.
Our SEO service, which includes link building via 500 manual directory submissions, is an all inclusive service with an all inclusive, one time only payment at the beginning.
The monthly reporting continues for 12 full months at no further cost.

Will my website need to be re-optimised every month?
Absolutely not!
Once a web page has been optimised for the search engines, there's nothing else to do to that page, not from an SEO perspective.
You should continually add new content to your web site, if you want to keep visitors interested.
Any new pages and content may require optimisation in order to achieve the best results from the search engines.
We aim to correctly optimise your pages for Google, and all search engines, from the very beginning.
