Ranking well and getting traffic from the search engines requires that page copy be written and refined based on keyword and competitive research. Not only does the copy refinement help with your rankings, it will also help with converting your visitors into clients once they arrive to the site and it will help to establish your site as one that is worthwhile to link from other websites and blogs on the web.

This project includes the creation of 12 specially written pages of content relating to your services and based on keyword research on those services. 

There is a short-list of important “big name” directories your site should be listed on and there will be at least another small handful of directories specific to your site that it should be listed on, as well. The majority of your competitors will already be listed in these directories because they assist with the overall ranking strength of the website and because they provide additional traffic.  Our basic directory submissions service researches the directories that are of most value to you and submits your site to those.  This service includes price of directory submissions (for one year).

Optimization Consulting and Strategizing
An optimization is a unique process for each company website.  Some companies need to develop an optimization strategy from scratch, some want more of the same kind of traffic they receive already, some want to broaden the range of keywords for which they receive search traffic, and some want to define more narrowly their traffic to fit a particular strategic direction.

Website Review and Architecture Optimization
Once your web designer has completed your site, the basic architecture will require close review to ensure that it the site fully crawlable by the search engines and that its linking structure maximizes internal page strength.  This process includes the addition of sitemaps, review of robots.txt file, and coding changes that may be necessary to the .htaccess file.

Detailed Keyword Research
Determining the most effective keywords to be used in your optimization is crucial to the success of your project. We combine competitive research with research on the search habits and trends of those searching for your products online to generate the keywords used in your optimization. The final choices will be those keywords that are relevant to products, services, or information your company provides and which we expect your site will rank highly for and generate targeted traffic.

Content Revision & Optimization
Once we've researched the optimum keywords to target for your project, we review and professionally revise the copy on the homepage so that it is semantically relevant to the chosen keywords. Sometimes the changes needed are minor, sometimes major changes are necessary. In either case, you end up with a page that is focused on the target keywords and will convert your visitors into customers at a higher ratio than previously.

Page Titles and Meta Tag Compositions
Page title and meta tags work in conjunction with page copy and correctly they are instrumental in achieving search engine traffic for your target keywords.  These elements focus the search engines on the most important points of information within the page and they dictate how your link will look when the search engines list it on their natural search results pages.

Indexation and Search Engine Submittal
