SEO Bespoke - £POA
When a packaged approach won't work the SEO Bespoke has the flexibility you need. Perhaps the key phrases required are generic or you require full analytical documentation prior to the work being carried out by us. Pricing is on a case by case basis.
Here’s what’s involved in an SEO package from SiliconDESIGNS
- Telephone Consultation - We start the process by explaining exactly what SEO is and more importantly, what it isn't. This is all done in laymans terms so that anyone can understand what's undertaken to achieve your goals. During this time we'll look at the current state of the website and build an understanding of the client's business and marketplace. Any questions they have will be dealt with at that time.
- Contract and Payment - If you client wish to go ahead with a campaign, a contract is issued to you along with our invoice. Once the contract is returned signed an the invoice paid, the next phase can begin.
- Keyword Identification – This process normally involves an hour on the telephone between ourselves and you. By using the most up to date resources we put together a list of popular keywords they’d like to be found under. If the website has been online for several years we may opt for generic keywords, should the website be new we'll select something less competitive.
- Analysis – We check the website for any problems which may stop search engine spiders indexing and reading all the content efficiently and plan a strategy on what changes are required to the website.
- Links – We carry out a thorough link building process, but remember, with links, it’s how good rather than how many. Over the year's we've prepared lists of one-way links that will give a boost to the site. For the SEO Start Up this is 700 links and the SEO Business 900 links.
- Content & Site Preparation – From here the onsite changes take place, anything from cleaning up spam, ammending text, deep linking to adding an xml site map.
- Position Reporting – We email you client a report every month – to show you your search engine positions now, and how they were in the past.
- Analytics Reporting - We also install analytics software giving you a wealth of information in a concise monthly report.
- Think we're finished? - Wrong! Each campaign is for 12 months, we'll tweak the website as necessary and make contact with you each month to you are satisfied with their results.
Guarantee Please ?
No sorry, we don't do that and here's why. Some SEO companies offer guarantees of performance but these are almost 100% worthless as they are only there to get your business. If and when you should ever need to invoke the guarantee, you will normally find some small clause somewhere that get's them off the hook leaving some business owners frustrated and annoyed. The truth of the matter is that quite often, these business are now far better placed than they were before the SEO activity but that might not be good enough.
If you want a guarantee from us then this is what we say.
'We guarantee that you will have a far better chance of ranking highly in the search engines with our SEO package than without it. And we guarantee that we will deal with you ethically and professionally further ensuring we help you to get the best out of your website investment.'
How long does it all take?
On average between 2 and 3 months although we have achieved results in under 2 days, it’s very dependent on the age of the site. Search engine optimisation takes time and patience. If your SEO company cheats the system or tries to take shortcuts, you’ll risk having your site removed from Google and other search engines - possibly for life!
Proper search engine optimisation doesn’t involve any ‘jiggery pokery’. Google likes sites to compete fair and square. So let’s leave the wizards hats and magic spells to Harry Potter, and let the skills and know how of our team bring you those great results.
Benefits
SEO as it’s called should be considered in the same budget bracket as any other marketing you are doing – brochures – radio – Yell.com and Yellow Pages etc. The good news about SEO is that unlike ANY other marketing medium you employ, the results don’t stop as soon as you stop spending your money.
For example, if you have a landscape advert in Yell costing around £2 to £2.5k, once you stop paying for this, your landscape ad immediately disappears and more than likely your visibility in this are (this happened to us last year) - Now look at SEO. You pay a fee and will more than likely get excellent results in the search engines which you can turn into real orders and profit. If you then decide to stop your SEO activity after a year, do your rankings in the search engines just suddenly disappear – no absolutely not and it’s likely that could hang on to this position for quite some time even without ongoing SEO. Obviously if you rankings are important to you you will wan to carry on with your SEO service so as to give you the best possible chance of continuing to do well.
That is a huge benefit and one that other marketing mechanisms can’t really lay claim to and has to make website SEO outstanding value for money in any marketing budget.
