SEO SERVICES
We do NOT sell SEO services and we don’t recommend you spending big money on SEO services.
Why don’t we sell them? Whilst it would be easy to make this a chargeable service, we pride ourselves on offering quality service and value for money. You can usually do everything ‘specialist SEO companies’ charge a small fortune for yourself for free and tailor it to your needs!
Therefore, we prefer to guide you towards doing it yourself for free, than you being out of pocket
You could first check out Google’s own guide on how to get your website registered with them and their tips on getting a good ranking – you will need to check out their T&Cs to see if they pass any charges. At time of writing, they offered both free and paid for services.
Another place to consider is Attracta.com who do offer a free get into google service (we receive NO payment for listing them – we’re merely aware of their service and have used it ourselves). You will need to sign up for an account, but this is free and needs little more than an email address (we advise you set up a new, separate email address for this, as they will probably send you various sales emails thereafter).
Use their Get Into Google tool. Complete the steps to ensure your website is optimised and listed on Google. It is a free service, although Attracta will often offer you enhanced services for a fee. We have got websites to Page 1 on Google using this free tool and NOT taking up the paid options. You are recommended to complete the steps every 14 days to increase and maintain your Google listing.
Don’t rely on google listings or similar to attract customers – yes, these are useful, but there are billions of websites on google – concentrate on getting your domain name known. If a person types in your website name, they will come directly to YOUR website. Going via google, they not only might miss your website, but it’s going to alert them of all the alternative websites providing similar products and services and the customer might end up spending with them instead of your website!
If you do decide you wish to pay someone for the SEO Services, then at least get some assurances / guarantees from them before part with your cash.
-
What exactly are they offering for the money?
-
Will they provide a breakdown of the costs
-
Is it a set fee or are there ongoing additional costs
-
Is it a single fee or does it need renewing monthly/annually?
-
Will they itemise the precise services they are offering?
-
When they ‘guarantee’ to get you on Page 1 of Google, is it on words/terms relevant to your site or is it their favourite trick where they get a high ranking based on a single random word that no one is likely to search on, but they can then say “Well, you’re page 1 on that!”
-
Will Google pass additional advertising fees on top of what you have paid them?
-
What it the time frame for them getting you listed and will you get money back if you don’t?
-
What exactly are they doing that you can’t do themselves?
