There are many ways to get great rankings in the search engines, and many people think they're a secret but that's just not true. Once, top 10 spots were very easy to obtain, but getting multiple top spots is now a thing of the past. Some people say that top 10 spots are very hard to get these days, but we have managed it on many occasions recently. Here are some of our success stories.
Every SEO company should strive to get your website listed in at least the top 20 although there are no guarantees, they shouldn't have much difficulty in achieving this if they use proper keyword placement. If a company can't get you ranked within the top 20 on some of your keywords then it's time to look for another SEO company.
SEO success relies on inside knowledge of search engine algorithms and ranking techniques. This, combined with testing websites before submission, will give you good results, as long as you keep it ethical.
SEO Success Stories from Clients.
I was not long since in a company where I wot not who of my fraternity brought news of a kind of pills, by true account, composed of a hundred and odd several ingredients; whereat we laughed very heartily, and made ourselves good sport; for what rock so hard were able to resist the shock or withstand the force of so thick and numerous a battery?
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
R. Nishimoto (Desert Hot Sauce): "Search engine optimization took our company from a few sales a week to more than 60 sales per week. We could no longer run this business with only two people. I am convinced that without this we would still be back at a few sales or even be under by now. "
AL (DVI Video Walls): "We are pleased with our web presence, many new customers, I will tally the sales increase at year-end. I know that the web page has now paid for itself at least once! More later, we are very busy - a couple competitors are going out of business so we are getting many panic calls."
Jenny (Music Asylum): "Your search engine techniques have produced the best return on our advertising dollars which was even better than any promotion we have done in the past. I am talking about quantifiable results the company can attribute directly to our website. At first, I couldn't see how your search engine work would make any difference based on the poor results from our old website. I have to give you credit though you got our site found on top of the major engines resulting in many calls, e-mails and eventual sales. Thanks."
Chris (Legacy Golf): "We are very impressed with the short period of time that it took to get our website listed in the search engines, we hoped it would place high but never expect to be one of the top 3."
(3rd Rock Internet Services): "Our Internet services company would not have any business if it were not for the efforts made to increase sales, being listed in the top 20 of the search engines was a great accomplishment that we were hoping would come true and now it has."
Every single day, sexism plays a part in my life. ... Not from my company, from people outside the company: people who want to send a tape, lawyers or managers. ... Because I’m a girl, they don’t think I’m powerful enough to be in a position of authority.
—Anna Statman, U. S. recording company executive. As quoted in the New York Times, sect. 2, p. 33 (June 6, 1993)
Scott (XTS. NET) "The company was struggling before we had the site optimized and now we are able to stay in business and keep up with the demands of our clients."
Companies like these are finding it ever more important to be placed where they can be found on the web if you think that search engine placement isn't necessary then think again. With the Internet business marketplace continuing to grow, you'll have more competition to deal with every day.
When customers can't find a company, the business goes bankrupt. You need to get ahead of your competition, and stay ahead. Now is the time to prepare for the future, before it's too late.
