SEO OPTIMIZATION

The question for today is “Teo, how much will it cost to get on the first page of Google?”

A million dollars! Seriously, I have no idea. Although we can get you on page one rather quickly, after a few weeks (or days) you may never see your site in the first 500 pages in the next 5 years. SEO, Search Engine Optimization, is a moving target with many pitfalls and traps. It is an artform. We have been working with SEO for more than 10 years and have excellent success.

With that said, each case in special. Insurance and real estate is very difficult. I routinely see husband and wife real estate teams where one spouse is spending about 25-40 hours a week on their blogs and link building and they dominate the market. The reality is that we would have to spend that amount of time each week to unseat the past several years they have been working at it. It is not realistic to get a website and expect to be on the first few pages in a few weeks.

SEO is based on 2 things. Onsite SEO and Offsite SEO. Onsite SEO is the content and design of your site is optimized for the search terms. That your page has the right balance of content for the keywords you want to rank for. You need to have the right balance on internal and external links. Your headings, titles and bold text are in a balanced ratio. And the list goes on and on.

Offsite SEO is how your site is seen by other sites and the social media scene. How may sites link to your site? When they link, what is the linking text? Is that text relevant to your keywords? Who and what is talking about you on social media? And how much of those links are clicked on to come to your site and how long do they stay on your site.

As you can see, it is complicated situation. We are happy to help you achieve success. We have a variety of monthly plans and will do our best to help you. Give us a call to discuss your needs.
