Basic SEO - Optimization Services - SEO Rates by the Page
For websites that just need a little SEO TLC to get ranked.
Why do we charge by the page instead of by the hour?
Simple. People, are well, human. Sometimes they work fast, sometimes they work slow. Sometimes they take coffee breaks. And sometimes we find the need to stop to do more research and analysis. We do not believe you should have to pay for extra hours if it takes us a little longer to solve a problem or make a decision (or have a cup of Joe.)
Without the ticking of a time clock, we never feel pressured to cut corners and you can plan your SEO budget without any surprise extra billing hours.
Ongoing SEO work and Money Back Guarantee
We do not just SEO your site, cash your check and say "good luck!"
Until your site shows measurable improvement, we continue making SEO adjustments (for free) until it does. If your site has not shown any improvement in search engine returns on the pages we SEO, after 90 days, we will give you back your money.
The only two things we require is that you tell us about site updates when you make them and do not make any SEO changes during our money-back guarantee period.
If you do change our SEO work, or fail to tell us about site updates, we cannot be responsible for any unfavorable results.
Mini SEO Glossary
Alt attribute tags: A tag associated with an image or an element.
For example, a hyperlink might show on a page to a reader only as "Read More." But you want robots and blind visitors to know "read more about what?" In other words, where is this hyperlink going?
An alt attribute tag for a hyperlink contains more information, i.e. "information about SEO services" that robots can understand and blind people can hear read to them."
Title attributes: These provide information about an element to robots and to humans. Title attributes show up as text in most browsers when an image or hyperlink are hovered over with a mouse.

Title tags: this is the information that appears as the page title at the top of browsers.
Basic SEO Services for Websites
Are you happy with your website but just need to get more search engine love?
Then we are happy for you! If your website already has strong content, is well laid out, and free from serious navigation and programming errors, then you can skip our Comprehensive SEO Services and website repair services.
We are really busy and do not have time (or interest) to rip off clients by selling them services they do not need. We will analyze your website and do a keyword analysis before making specific SEO recommendations but if your site is in good working order then there is no need for you to buy SEM, link building, content writing, or other services.
Our Basic SEO / Optimization Services include:
Phone consultation. We want to talk with you. If you are shy, you can do your consultation via email if you prefer. But we need to get to know you, your business, and learn more about your specific concerns and business goals.
Your business becomes our research project. We will read your website, read your competitors' websites, and study industry trends.
We do metadata. We thoughtfully select keywords for metadata by hand - we do not use automated keyword selection programs. We SEO page titles and meta name descriptions and keywords.
We go tag crazy! Alt tags, and in many cases, title attributes, are very important to SEO work. Robots look for them, and vision-impaired people who navigate websites using screen readers (and people who turn off images) need them to get around your website.
Discounts for diligent webmasters. If you already have have alt tags on images and hyperlinks - good for you! But we need to make sure they are properly SEOd, too. If your alt and title attribute tags do not need any SEO work, we will give you a big, fat, discount.
At your request, wile we are working, we will correct any typos or minor coding errors we see (no charge, we figure if we are in your site anyhow it takes seconds to fix stuff.)
These little extra touches add up to bigger things because they provide little whispers of information about your website to search engine robots. And, as the saying goes, "if you want someone to listen .... whisper.
