Search Engines and SEOOne service we do not presently offer is "SEO" or search engine optimization. While we design your site to be visible to search engines and we do verify and submit them to several thousand engines including Google and Yahoo, you cannot expect that to be sufficient if you are planing on your web site attracting a lot of visitors. Our recommended professional SEO service provider.Your page will be lost among many millions all competing for top ranking in the major engines. There are many companies offering professional SEO services. These have less to do with your web site than with getting others to recognize that your site exists and gets the traffic you deserve. This is an industry unto itself, mostly separated from web development and hosting. It is not cheap. You may be asked to pay several hundreds of dollars a month to achieve and maintain top ranking. We do not posses the knowledge or the time to be good at this ourselves. What these SEO companies do is not so much magical as it is just plain time intensive. There is nothing they do that you can't learn to do yourself or perhaps, have an employee do for you. If you take the DIY route expect to spend some time to get where you want to be. The first step will be the time it takes to learn the tricks of the trade. There are web sites devoted to this topic. Once you get a handle then it will take time...perhaps several hours a day to start then tapering off some once you have a system and feel comfortable with what you are doing. We cannot over stress this point. We can make your site and provide the hosting to make it fast and reliable but just having it there does not result in traffic. If you just wait for search engines to find you...you are in for a long wait. You MUST be proactive when it comes to marketing your web site. Some tips: Create a business page in the major social networking sites. MySpace, FaceBook, Blogger etc. Create a Twitter account. Network! These are all free but can help you boost traffic to your site and help you brand your company to a wider audience. Seek blogs and forums that are relevant and post. Make sure to include links to your web site. It takes time ! Even with a good SEO company, there is no short cut and no miracle, look for months to pass before you find yourself loaded down with traffic. You are among many millions using the web and all of them are trying to get to the same place at the same time. You have to be willing to throw either money or time into the project. We recommend the following books to help guide you through the process of DIY optimization. Even if you plan to hire a professional, you would do well to read one of these so you know the questions to ask. It will help you avoid a costly mistake by assuring the firm you hire knows what it is doing.
