So I decided to copy some of the frequently asked questions here about SEO.
What will you do to optimize my site?
The above is mainly the bulk of the work. In addition, we will optimize the keywords on your site at the beginning of the project.
Does it include content creation on your part, or just optimization of existing content?
Yes, we do content creation. Mostly the content creation is done off your site on the articles and social media sites we create to give links. If you have a WordPress blog on your site, we’ll post to it. If you don’t have a blog on your website, we can create one for you for a small fee.
What is expected for me to do?
The only things you’ll need to do get me your FTP access so we can tweak your keywords. Then you might need to spend 15-20 minutes on the phone with me to make sure your Google Places profile is in tact. That’s it. We do the rest.
Is the optimization in house or outsourced?
For the most part in house. There are a couple of small things I may outsource on occasion. But most everything is done by myself and my staff. And even when it’s done by my staff I typically directly delegate and oversee the task.
Are the links follow or no-follow?
Both. Mostly follow probably. But to be honest, Google doesn’t really care about follow vs no follow any longer and they see them as the same.
Do you provide reports? if so can i get an example
Yes. We give you periodic reports on your ranking progress.
Example site you’ve worked with.
This is a little unusual because most of my prospective clients have already heard about me from either Howard Partridge or Dusty Roberts of Rugbadger or seen my articles as I’m a regular writer for ICS Magazine (see www.icsmag.com ). But sure. Here are a few of the hundreds of cleaning sites I’ve worked on.
Do you know Howard Patridge ? He’s probably the most well known management consultant in our industry. We’ve worked on his site http://www.cleanasawhistlehouston.com and have him in the top ten of Houston. We’ve worked with a lot of his clients too.
Do you know Dusty Roberts of Rugbadger? His rug site is www.rugbadger.com and we’ve worked with him on that site SEO and his local rug cleaning www.luvarug.com
Here are a few others www.cleanmoresave.com (#1 in “carpet cleaning richmond”), www.cleanprocarpet.com (#1 in “carpet cleaning new orleans”), and many others.
Who owns the rights to what is done?
You own the rights to your website as well as most of the social sites we create. Some of the other links though are being “rented” for as long as you’re paying for the monthly SEO services.
Bottom line…no one has optimized as many cleaning websites as I have. I’m not going to promise you the world, but tell it like it is.
Couple other questions you may not have thought of…
After the six months, what happens? Typically you can scale down the cost. This depends on how well your site is ranking after six months, but sometimes we can cut the cost in half. This way you know you won’t be spending $600 a month from here until forever.
Is the SEO done to rank your site organically?
Yes! This is NOT pay per click. It’s organic SEO ranking. So even if you decide to not have us do any more work later, your site will see residual benefit. Eventually it will not rank as well without SEO, but you’ll see some residual ranking. Also, more people click on organic than pay per click ads by far.
How long does it take to rank?
Anywhere from 2 weeks to 4 months….on very rare occasions longer than 4 months. On average, 2 months.
Do you have any guarantees?
Yes. If, after six months, your site doesn’t rank in the top ten for your main keyword phrase, you’ll get a 25% rebate to use toward future SEO or website design with me. If you’re not ranking at least in the second page, you’ll get a 50% rebate toward future seo or web design. I’ll have you no though, that I’ve never had a site NOT rank in the top ten within six months that I’ve done full service SEO on.
There are lots of guys who do this “SEO stuff” so be careful. Lots of them are crooks.
Ask me any question on website ranking, Groupon, Google Adwords, Website Selling, or anything related.
I’ve had lots of questions lately about Groupon and Google Places, so I thought it was time to go ahead and do another free webinar for my friends in the cleaning industry.
Our phone has been ringing off the hook today with questions about Groupon and our company. So if nothing else, we’ve got some extra local attention.
As of right now, 10 people have bought our $100 Groupon for $50. Six people have booked appointments already.
Everyone that has booked an appointment, booked OVER the amount of the Groupon. This is good.
We decided to run the Groupon for carpet, tile, rug, and upholstery cleaning. But we do have exclusions for adding extra charges for people outside of our main city. We do service those other areas often, but for the Groupon we are either charging a small travel fee or requiring a little higher minimum of cleaning.
The results are NOT all in yet. But as of right now, I’m impressed with what’s it’s doing.
One of my clients emailed and asked this question:
Would like to know difference of coaching & what I am getting now. Tried others & it wasn’t worth it.
Good question. The question to you is, what do you need help with?
Basically, the entire day is devoted to you. So it will get anything you want to know or anything you want help with from me for an entire 8 hours. If you want to sit down and design a postcard specific to your business, we’ll do it.
If you want me to show you how to set up emails in constant contact, fine.
If you want help with SEO, Google Adwords, Facebook, Newsletters, Newspapers Ads, Neighborhood Mailing, Flyer Design, Writing Copy For Your Website, Writing a Radio Commercial, Writing a Television Commercial, Groupon Offer, Valpak Ad, or Understanding How to Get Any Website Ranking Better, I can show you. You’ll have my full attention for a full 8 hour day.
So basically if you could use some personal help with anything advertising related, this opportunity would be great for you. Plus, it would be a great chance to get your advertising plan fully worked out and planned on paper. I’ll sit down and plan it with you.
You’ll get put you in for full permanent access to the email package, postcards, and take the top 10.
You also won’t be charged for the ad club for 12 months as you’ll get the next twelve months included in the full day coaching package. Honestly, this alone would cost you $1,404 over the next year.
