Search engine optimization, or SEO, is a group of techniques performed on web sites to move those web sites higher in the “organic,” or “natural” search, search engine rankings. These SEO techniques are always changing as the search engines revise its criteria for search engine rankings. Moreover, the formulas used by the search engines for organic rankings are closely held and not public information to ensure the most accurate listings as possible. Hence, SEO is more of an art rather than a science based on the SEO professional’s experience.
How long does it take to achieve improved SEO results?
Improved rankings usually do not happen overnight. The length of time that it will take to improve your rankings most often depends on how competitive your marketplace is. We usually tell customers not to expect any major jump in the rankings until about six months.
Will you do whatever it takes to put our site at the top of the search engine rankings?
No, Olympic SEO will not do whatever it takes to put you atop the search engine rankings. Olympic only employs white hat techniques that will stand the test of time. There are quick fixes, often referred to as “black hat” techniques, which can more rapidly put you at the top of the search engines, but your time there will be short-lived once the search engines find out what you’ve done to get there. Olympic SEO takes a long term approach to the success of your web site.
How much will it cost to hire your SEO services?
That’s as difficult of a question as” how much does it cost to build a house?” We know, however, that most customers don’t want to pay an hourly rate. Therefore, we will provide you with a concise plan that outlines what we will do for your site and for what price. There will be no surprises. Our initial SEO consultation package that most customers start out with is $3995.
Do you take customers from anywhere?
Yes, that’s the beauty of the internet. We can attract customers from anywhere. We’ve even had customers in the Czech Republic and other central European countries. That being said, we do like to meet our business partners personally if possible so we concentrate our search engine optimization services in Philly, the Philadelphia Main Line, Lancaster, Harrisburg, and Jersey Shore areas.
Are you programmers?
We know enough about programming to make us dangerous. We can write some basic html code and we know a little about CSS. We hire international programmers if you need them and we hire them at 20% of the cost that you’d pay in the United States. The fact is that engineering and marketing are two very different skill sets and the internet is no exception. It’s rare to find that one person who is both a top internet programmer and a top internet marketer. At Olympic, we stick to what we know best: internet marketing.
What are some of your success stories with SEO?
Olympic has worked with several e-commerce companies that don’t do any paid advertising at all; its’ all search engine optimization. We will be glad to share those success stories with you when we meet to discuss your SEO needs.
How will I know we have received our money’s worth?
Results. We will show you before and after results. We are also willing to put our money where our mouths are. If the situation is right, and your site has the ability to effectively track before and after results, we are willing to consider working at a greatly reduced rate for the opportunity to share in the profits we add to your business.
Why should we hire you?
At Olympic SEO, we have a track record of success. We know what its like to run a small business. We manage our own web sites so we know what that’s like. We can provide all of the services you need or we can come in and teach you how to do it yourself so you won’t need us as much in the future.
