Search Engine Optimisation

I have no idea what any of this means - I just want to get a high ranking for my website

Understood. It will be helpful if you have an idea of what is being done but you certainly don't need to be an expert. ( You wouldn't need my services if you were ! ) I recommend you download and read my free SEO book or have a look at my short SEO videos on the What is Seo page, so you have an idea of what can be achieved and how.

How Much Does It Cost?

Cost $1100 - $2100 for 3 months of SEO. 3 months is really the minimum amount of time required to see good results for most moderate competition keyphrases. You can continue on after 3 months to widen your keyword list and really get those high competition phrases ranking well.

How high will my site get on google and how long will it take?

This is hard to say. It depends on how much competition there is for the phrase or phrases you are looking to rank for. It also depends on how well optimised the competing on page 1 are. For example if position 1 is held by wikipedia or a gov.au site it's unlikely your site will displace it. I aim to get you onto page one - so that's minimally position 10. I aim to do it for relevant search phrases that will return valuable traffic to your site And I aim to do it as quickly as possible I really recommend a minimum of 3 months is required for the majority of 2-3 word phrases Some will need more Some less Then you'll need to maintain it on page one as well So in short there is no exact answer to that. Remember if at any time you feel you no longer need my services or wish to go elsewhere there are no contacts to break or exit fees to pay.

Why don't you guarantee a number one position like other SEO companies I have seen?

To be honest I have tried many of these "guaranteed number 1" SEO companies. Some of them are incredibly cheap, some not so. None have produced what I'd call a satisfactory result. It's not even that they don't deliver what they promise. Some do. But what they give you is a number 1 position for a low competition phrase that no-one searches for Foe example for years my former website sat at the #1 spot for the phrase Web Design Specialist. Even before I did any SEO on the site is dominated that search phrase easily. BUT I think I could measure on one hand, the number of web design jobs I sold that came from that search phrase. Few people who WERE LOOKING FOR A WEBSITE would think to type in the phrase web design specialist. The position did have some value as that was my business name. But purely from a traffic/ inquiry/ SEO point of view it was useless number 1 position So if someone offers you a number 1 spot for a few hundred dollars ask them what phrase or phrases it will be for. I'd be willing to bet it will be useless low traffic phrases you don't need.

Why should I pay someone to do it? Can't I do all of this myself?

Absolutely you could do it all yourself. However first you'd need to learn a fair bit about SEO, purchase a few key software applications and learn how to use them and then have approx 25-45 hours available to dedicate to SEO each month. If you wish to do this then that's fine. That's what I did! If you don't have the time or the inclination to do this then my service is what you need
