Without a consistent effort to enhance the relevancy of your site to search engine algorithms, the time and energy spent on a great website is wasted. It’s important that your site shows up in search engine results, and the closer to the top, the better.
There are many SEO companies that promise top rankings on Google, or they’ll say that a spot opened up on page one on Google, and they can sell it you. Stay away from them – they ARE a scam. All Google wants, besides Pay Per Click ad money, is for search results to be relevant and useful to the user. Content is king with Google, and if you throw in proper keyword usage, Social Media and meaningful links, over time you’re website will work it’s way to the top.
Because of human nature. Take a look at the graph on the right. If 100 people did a search for your service, 17 of them will go to your website if you rank first. If you rank ninth though, you will need 100 more people to search for your service before one of them goes to your site.
There is INCREDIBLE VALUE in ranking first for a google search. So much value, in fact, that the competition is fierce, and achieving that rank can no longer be done on your own. We believe our SEO services are the best in the industry, and we’re not saying that in an off-handed, cavalier way. We’ve spent years assessing and developing services that deliver the best results, against some very heady competition. Our SEO services are continually being monitored and measured, making sure that there is no wasted effort in delivering SEO powerful enough to overtake your most aggressive competitors. Take a look at our line item services, and we’re sure you’ll agree that we pack a ton of work into a relatively short time. Put our services to work for you, and watch as people begin to “stumble” across your website with more and more frequency.
How do you know which package you need? Well, it depends on the competition for the keywords that you’re after. More competitive keywords require more aggressive SEO, while less competitive keywords can usually be ranked with a less aggressive, and less costly, SEO package.
Every SEO Campaign that we do begins with Keyword Research. We will list all of the relevant keywords for your industry, and show you the competition level for each one. It’s generally not rocket science – more competitive keywords are the ones that more people search for, yielding higher results, while less competitive keywords, while more attainable, offer less in the way of results.
We group keywords together in groups of three – one primary keyword is grouped with two secondary keywords. We do this for a few reasons. The primary keyword of the group is usually the more competitive keyword, like “Dallas Plumber”. The secondary keywords are words that are similar enough to be written in to the same content, and we can consistently get “juice” from those related words – like “Dallas Plumbing” or “Dallas Emergency Plumber”. This way, all of the content that we write, on-site and off-site, can be directed to those specific, related terms.
There is no contract with CCI – you can run your SEO Campaign with us month-to-month, and end it at any time. Generally, results do not happen until about the 6 month mark, with results compounding as time goes by after that. 12 months is a good, solid mark to measure how well the campaign is doing. However, most successful ranking sites are doing SEO continually, and reaping the rewards for their effort.
This is a complete list of SEO Services for both Standard and Premium packages. In some cases, the Premium package will offer a larger quantity of a particular service than the Standard package will. In the Monthly Services, “Google Amplified Content Production” is only available in the Premium packages, and is noted as such.
