Pricing,
References and Other Information
The
reason to hire a search engine optimization company or consultant is quite
simple. Most companies miss the obvious when we're talking about our
products and services to customers and potential leads. Those blind spots
exist in our site copy. High rankings are obtained for focused
searches, the ones that matter to your business most. We achieve them by
through research by optimizing titles, introductory copy, links and body
copy for the greatest amount of response among keyword phrases. Using
specific tools and research, not by "borrowing" information from
your competitors
Please find below, just some of the examples
a few of our customers enjoy monthly, these rankings are from the 3 main search
engines, Google, MSN and Yahoo. Even though your business may come up
for a few terms, does it come up for all related terms of fishing in your
area? How often do you have to resubmit your site and do you do it
with respect to the search engines, i.e. no automatic software, but
manually. How much time does it take you each month to do this,
wouldn't you rather be fishing?!
Please see what is
currently being charged for advertising
by other avenues and major search engines versus our services.

If you are wondering
why you are unable to locate me in the search engines, it is because I
specialize myself as an industry specific promotions specialist, so if you were to type
in golfing website promotions, or skiing website promotions, other industries
are boating, fishing, gambling, resort, hunting, seniors, vacation and travel, I
usually come up in the #1 spot on all of the majors, or just type in Sue Strand.
Rates and Packages Offered
I offer 2 types of packages, the choice is yours as to what you
feel more comfortable with. With both services, I will be available to
you throughout the year to answer any questions or to take a look at any
redesigns that your site may be going through and offer our suggestions to the
proper optimization of the page. The monitoring of your websites position
will need to be done by someone in your company. Should your website start
to fall off of the first page, which is virtually non-existent with our
services, but in case it should, we will re-evaluate your site to determine what
can be done to resume the first page listings and then make sure it is
re-evaluated by the major search engines the following month. If you
cannot afford the full amount up front, we have option 1 available for you.
Option 1: On other than
the Standard Localized Package, you may pay a down payment amount, which is 1/2
of the package price, and pay the balance out over time up to 6 months, this
amount is determined by the balance divided by 6 months, plus 1 months interest
amount. This option may prove to be more expensive in the long run, but
will allow you the same benefits as our other package, and will give you more
flexibility with your budget payment structure.
Option 2: Additional
Internet Marketing Services - Online Paid For Campaign, minimum of 20% of total
advertising campaign per month fee
Basic Service:
· Manage online advertising with industry specific related directories and
websites with high page rank and exposure sites, on a flat fee not a cost per
click or cost per impression basis so you will know up front your monthly ad
costs.
· Manage the monthly campaign and return a report with statistics and marketing
responses along with our consulting service. We would like to know what
types of information you want to know on a monthly basis, (i.e, click through
responses, monthly comparisons, trend analysis) since each client is different,
that information will vary.
Monthly Deliverables:
· A monthly report stating ranks for the top keyword phrases in Google, MSN
and Yahoo
· Click through responses from the chosen industry specific websites and
directories that you would benefit most from being a primary sponsor
· Consultation on additional advertising sources, provides knowledge base for
search engine industry and website optimization, and fine-tune the submission,
if necessary (Optional Service: Annual consulting only)
Optional Services:
· Additional pages of meta tag creation, specific to that page's
information ($200 per set)
· Annual consulting services only ($1000)
Schedule:
· Initial Package Creation - 3 weeks
· Online Paid for Campaign - On-going Monthly
· Additional pages meta tag creation - 2 weeks (Optional)
· Consulting - On-going Annually (Optional)
Monthly Deliverables - Submitted to client 7 working days after the end of the
month
Additional Option 3: Offsite Consulting
only: Choose the annual renewal program
that will allow you to receive a full year of consulting by me for any internet
marketing purposes as well as a set of updated meta tags if necessary if there
should be any new styles that I have developed or if the search engines are
looking at sites in a way that your site would benefit a fresh optimization.
This fee would be $1000.00 and would cover your business for 1 full year from
the date of the initial submission.
Web Site keyword, description, titles and site
analysis. Per set refers to the types of products/services you are
offering, ex., one site only has 1 type of product, multiple pages, but only one
area they are targeting, such as fishing lodges. Another website has fishing
products and equipment, hunting guides and outfitters, etc. Each page would need to have specific
industry meta’s designed. All packages below will include 1 set of
copyrighted metas, specifically produced for the
client, and the price in total for the promotion.
Standard Package $2000.00: Localized
Target Submission: Website
marketing is targeted on a more "localized"
basis but can still be found by anyone, anywhere when they are looking for your
type of business in your location. Web site promotion includes manual submissions to
around 70 search engines (including MSN, Yahoo and Google) and around 30 websites, the amount of websites
correlating to your industry and search
engines can vary. Around 100+ submissions in total.
National Package $3000: Nationalized
Target Submission: Website
marketing is targeted on a more "National" basis,
including some websites correlating to your industry. Manual submissions to around 100
search engines (including MSN, Yahoo and Google) and 100 websites depending on
the nature of the business, the amount of websites and search engines can vary.
Around 200+ submissions in total.
National Plus Package $4000:
Nationalized
Target Submission: The difference between this and the one above is the type
of website this would apply to. For instance, an automotive site would
need to be in this because the competition is so fierce and there are so many
sites I can submit this to in order to "command" the search query they
would desire in their industry. This promotion concentrates more on
about 200 industry specific manual website submissions and around 100 search
engines (including MSN, Yahoo and Google),
totaling around 300+ submissions.
International Package $5000:
International
