FAQ

This varies significantly based on several factors:

• Strength of the existing backlink profile of your Website
• Your Website's domain age
• Your Website's PageRank
• Number of competitors in your niche
• Target keyword competition & value

Generally, we deliver Page 1 rankings for at least 1 of your target keywords within the first two months. If your Website is particularly new or on the weak end of any of the factors listed above, it could take longer. One thing's for sure, though: We'll get you there.

No. Many SEO companies require that you enter into a contract for some length of time, but we don't do that. You are free to come and go as you please.

SEO is comprised of many tactics, but it can effectively be boiled down into two major categories: onsite and offsite. Onsite SEO is comprised of all the elements that make up your website including the following:

• Keyword density
• Title tag optimization
• Meta tag optimization
• Site layout
• Presence of certain elements (ie, sitemap)
• Outbound links

Offsite SEO is comprised mostly of inbound links. Search engines scan the Web to see what websites are linking to yours. Links to your site are counted as "votes" for relevance and popularity of your website. Obviously, some sites have a much more powerful vote than others. Getting inbound links to your Website from lots of other sites is about 90% of Google's ranking algorithm. Onsite is the other 10%. So after the initial onsite optimization is completed, SEO is all about link-building. Link building is the process of getting high-quality, SEO-optimized links from other Websites to yours. There's only so much onsite optimization you can do, but offsite promotion is limitless and is the meat-and-potatoes of SEO. We get quality inbound links to your Website by creating and syndicating content for your company. Search engine algorithms look at a Website's overall inbound link profile when calculating your SEO "score" and one of the top factors in the algorithm is link variety. That means it's important to have inbound links from a wide variety of sources, including:

• Blog posts
• Directories (Website, Article, RSS)
• Forums
• Video sites (ie, Youtube)
• Document sharing sites (ie, Slideshare)
• Social media (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.)

No. This is a commonly perpetuated myth; If it were possible to negatively affect the rankings of a Website with offsite SEO tactics, then SEO companies would be like mercenaries torpedoing down everyone’s competitors. It’s simply not possible to negatively affect SEO rankings with offsite SEO. However, it’s worth noting that your rankings can be negatively affected by improper onsite SEO. Tactics that might result in de-indexing include deliberately keyword stuffing your META/title tags, and placing outbound links to known “bad neighborhoods.”
