Modern businesses absolutely need an effective SEO plan, but generally don't know where to start. If you aren't sure what SEO is, how can you hire someone to do it for you? Worse yet, how could you try to do it yourself?
Let's start with the basics. What is SEO, exactly?
SEO is short for Search Engine Optimization. This is a general term for anticipating what happens inside a search engine when it's trying to find keywords contained on/in relevant websites that it has indexed. Confused so far?
Let's take an example. A searcher types a 'keyword phrase' let's say "used cars" into a search engine browser bar. They will then be shown a list of websites related to the keyword. HOW the search engine determines who shows up first for those keywords is abstract in the extreme (to those of us outside of the engineer's meetings at Google).
SEO is what we do to and for a website to help guarantee that it will show up in the 1st page of the search engine results page (or SERPS as we call them). It's been proven that searchers tend to open only the top 5 spots on the first page, and they open the first result 1/2 the time! This is why effective SEO service has become critical.
Basically, if your website is not on the first page of SERPS, it does not exist!
Getting effective, affordable SEO services that land you on the first page can cost a fortune, but it doesn't have to. There is one company in particular, and one SEO engineer, that has a spectacular record of success.
Main Street Marketing LLC, a Tacoma WA SEO company.
Main Street Marketing LLC is owned and operated by Jonathan Phillips out of Tacoma WA. Although a lot of companies claim to put you on the first page of the SERPS, Main Street Marketing and Jonathan Phillips actually do it, and have done it for their own websites and numerous other websites.
Always ask to see the results of the SEO company's own website! If they can't get themself on the first page of Google for various search terms, how can they do any better for you?!
Before you spend days or weeks trying to find a qualified SEO expert, give them a call or email. Ask them to send you some examples of their work. They'll be happy to do so, and talk with you about your company and what search terms people use to find your business.
I would recoommend you call them before your competition does. Main Street Marketing and Jonathan Phillips only do SEO services for one company in an industry in a local area. You do not want to be the 2nd to call him.
