If anyone ever promises you Front Page results in a short period of time – do not trust them – Great SEO strategies take time 6 months to 18 months to see full effects and Page 1 rankings. Now, of course that does hinge on your business type and category and how much competition there is in your local or national area. For example in Las Vegas the top 3 most difficult businesses to rank to Page 1 and top 3 in Google are Plumbing – HVAC – Garage Door Repair. If you have a niche business like Toy Repair or Specialty items you may rank faster.
Cost of SEO plans can be very expensive, especially with huge firms that have large overhead and marketing budgets, they usually charge between $6000.00 to $10,000 for a 6 month contract. The difference with our SEO plans is that we don’t have the overhead costs and we do not out source to Turkey or India in order to remain more profitable. We do the exact same things they do (maybe even better because we are able to spend the research time on your particular business and custom tailor a winning plan for much less money).
At Extraordinary By Design we are more interested in long term relationships and creating real results that are lasting, rather than taking large sums of money and 6 months later you have little results.
About outsourcing: Most SEO companies do outsource the work because they can charge you $160.00 per hour and get the work done for $3.40 per hour; in our minds this IS NOT the American way. Charge a fair price for good comprehensive work – Integrity always wins !
