We’re glad you asked! It’s smart to do your due diligence. We have a whole page on this website dedicated to testimonials.
[/av_textblock]

[av_textblock size=” font_color=” color=”]
Our testimonials are from business owners and fellow search engine optimization specialists that we’ve contributed to. Be mindful people are busy. If we asked our existing or previous clients to talk to new clients about what we did for them, they wouldn’t get any work done.

I’m sure you can understand.
[/av_textblock]

[av_textblock size=” font_color=” color=”]
No. We don’t like them and we don’t use them.
[/av_textblock]

[av_textblock size=” font_color=” color=”]
Everything we do is based on the agreement we’ve made together. You’ll get a scope of work from us. It’s an agreement to make sure everyone’s on the same page and if either of us wants to walk away, we can.
[/av_textblock]

[av_heading tag=’h2′ padding=’10’ heading=’Do You Have A Money Back Guarantee?’ color=” style=’blockquote modern-quote’ custom_font=” size=” subheading_active=” subheading_size=’15’ custom_class=”][/av_heading]

[av_textblock size=” font_color=” color=”]
Yes, after a six-month grace period. If we don’t get you where we agreed upon, you shouldn’t be paying us; should you? During the grace period, you won’t be billed anything and we’ll continue working.
[/av_textblock]

[av_textblock size=” font_color=” color=”]
But, if you’ve had SEO done to your site before, it’ll have to be a case by case basis. We can’t (and won’t) guarantee any work done by any firm other than our agency. The reason is, there are a lot of “tactics” that got websites penalized in the past, and we probably have to spend a good deal of time cleaning that up.
[/av_textblock]

[av_textblock size=” font_color=” color=”]
You don’t make guarantees for other people’s work do you? We won’t either.

None – and we don’t guarantee incoming calls. Our guarantees are based on our packages. How many customers can you guarantee with Facebook advertising, newspaper ads, billboard ads or super bowl ads?
[/av_textblock]

[av_textblock size=” font_color=” color=”]
We can’t vouch for your website’s conversion. We make sure you get prime real estate in Google.

We can’t vouch for your website’s conversion. We make sure you get prime real estate in Google.
[/av_textblock]

[av_textblock size=” font_color=” color=”]
If you have the traffic and are looking for more sales, we can help you with your website conversions. You have to apply by submitting a business breakthrough from. Make sure you add “need help with conversion” in the form.

Sure, after you fill out our business breakthrough form. The procedure is:

You fill out our business breakthrough form
We talk on the phone about your goals
We send you a video analysis

Then, we both agree to work together. We’ll send you a scope of work, which is similar to a proposal.

Our SEO is similar niche to niche. Google doesn’t evaluate your site based on your niche.
[/av_textblock]

[av_textblock size=” font_color=” color=”]
If it’s for copywriting and other forms of advertising, we build niche specific teams.

We work based on results, not “our work.” We’re your partner, not your employee. Go to Google Webmaster Tools to see the backlink profile of your site. You will get ranking reports from us.
[/av_textblock]

[av_textblock size=” font_color=” color=”]
The vast majority of our clients want more time for other parts of their lives. Our clients have enough tension and hassle in their daily lives, and we take every measure not to add to that. That’s why we:

Send daily ranking reports
Monthly news on the advertising industry
Preemptive phone calls and emails in case there’s something you should know

As your business partner, we want you to do what you’re good at, and let us do what we’re good at. Don’t you agree? Why willing add more stress to your life?

[av_textblock size=” font_color=” color=”]
We won’t. You can check the backlink profile of your site with Google Webmaster Tools.
[/av_textblock]

[av_textblock size=” font_color=” color=”]
We’re your business partner, not your employee. Employees you have to check after and make sure they’re accountable. Business partners are held accountable for their results.

[av_heading tag=’h2′ padding=’10’ heading=’How Long Will SEO Take For My Site?’ color=” style=’blockquote modern-quote’ custom_font=” size=” subheading_active=” subheading_size=’15’ custom_class=”][/av_heading]

[av_textblock size=” font_color=” color=”]
That really depends on:

Is your website brand new?
Is your website less than 4 years old?
Is your website over 4 years old?

[/av_textblock]

[av_textblock size=” font_color=” color=”]
The timeframe also depends on the keyword.

If your website is brand new or less than 1 year old, it could take a while; 12-18 months type while. There are a couple things we’ll do to hopefully speed your ranking up, but that’s probably a good estimate.
If your website is 1-4 years old, it could take from 8-18 months. That’s a healthy expectation.
If your website is over 4 years old, expect 6-10 months. The older sites rule this one.

We’re like website personal trainers. Your website is probably 30-75lbs overweight. If you want to lose the weight in a healthy way (and have it stay off), it’s recommended that you take things slow and steady.

If you’re not a client, since what we do gives our clients an advantage, we won’t go into too much detail. You can still email us at [email protected], or you can get on the inside by applying here.

[av_textblock size=” font_color=” color=”]
Same as the answer above, it depends.
[/av_textblock]

[av_textblock size=” font_color=” color=”]
Imagine us as a digital moving company. We’re moving websites from where they are, to where you want them to be. Your investment in SEO depends on the weight of the move. We evaluate your site, your competition’s sites and the search words you want to show up for.
[/av_textblock]

[av_textblock size=” font_color=” color=”]
Think about all the “one size fits all” pills and plans out there, how many of them actually do a good job for you? Hardly any if you think about it. With us, you’ll get a free analysis of your website with no obligation and at no charge once you apply. All pricing is done after we have all the information we need.
[/av_textblock]

[av_textblock size=” font_color=” color=”]
This is an awesome question. A lot of our methods are proprietary, but there are industry best practices too. Google gauges how many powerful and trusted ‘friends’ your website has. We go out and find your website more powerful and trusted ‘friends’. We get them to talk about you – which takes a decent amount of time.
[/av_textblock]

[av_textblock size=” font_color=” color=”]
Can we ask you a question, how would you grade our work? Results right? Check out our testimonials page to see what other people are saying about our work. We build your site’s authority a number of ways like:

Guest Posting
Outreach
Link Building Campaigns

Among other things. Let’s be clear, more links aren’t better. You’re a quality company and are looking for other quality companies to talk about you. Think of a link like a referral from a business; the better the business, the better the referral – same with links.

We guarantee what we agree upon, which is usually page 1 rankings – we always aim for the top 3 spots.
[/av_textblock]

[av_textblock size=” font_color=” color=”]
Now, we don’t control Google or have some type of special deal with them (no one does). When we give you a proposal and specify the timeframe (average 6 months) we’ll get you to page 1, that timeframe comes with a three month grace period. Our three month grace period states, “If we can’t get you on page 1 within the specified timeframe, we’ll continue our service for the next three months; free of charge.”
[/av_textblock]

[av_textblock size=” font_color=” color=”]
*To take advantage of our guarantee, you have to make on time payments for the agreed upon timeframe.

[av_textblock size=” font_color=” color=”]
No.
[/av_textblock]

[av_textblock size=” font_color=” color=”]
We will need access to your social media accounts, though. We use them in our SEO. If you have someone managing your social media, we’ll work with them. If you want us to do it, that’s an add-on to our SEO package on a case by case basis after 6-12 months of SEO.
[/av_textblock]

[av_textblock size=” font_color=” color=”]
Our main focus is getting you organic search traffic.

If you don’t know what that is, it’s:

[/av_textblock]

[av_textblock size=” font_color=” color=”]
No. You generally have to be in the top 3 in organic rankings and at a specific location in your city. We always strive to get you there, but that’s not guaranteed.
[/av_textblock]

[av_textblock size=” font_color=” color=”]
Our question to you is, why do you want to be in the “map pack”? Is it going to do something for your business? We can probably get you a 2 for 1. With our organic search services, you’ll likely float to the map pack.

Higher rankings and more customers from organic search results won’t hurt without being in the map pack, will it?

There’s no educational institution in the world that does what we do. You can’t go to school and get a Ph.D. in SEO. Let us ask you, what are you going to do with them after we show you?
[/av_textblock]

[av_textblock size=” font_color=” color=”]
Our work is proprietary. What would you think of a customer who walked into your office and asked to check on your work? We focus on rankings. You can also go to Google Webmaster Tools to see the backlink profile of your site.

[av_textblock size=” font_color=” color=”]
SEO is an extremely powerful advertising method, but it’s only for the most dedicated. It’s okay if you’re not that type of person.

You have to be okay with going 6-8 months not getting anything tangible, but investing in your businesses future. Think of SEO like putting in new plumbing in your house, you can’t see it, but you can definitely tell the difference when it’s done.

If you bring us three referrals that invest in our service (turn into clients), we’ll do your SEO for $77 per month.
