Search Engine Optimisation
Without it there is little chance of anyone ever finding the lovely new web site you have just invested in
SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) is a term we often hear. Most of us know it relates to websites, and some of us know that it is something we ought to be doing. It is a term that either evokes boredom or panic in most small business owners.
Why does Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) matter?
Without it there is little chance of anyone ever finding the lovely new website you have just invested in.
Without Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) your website is tantamount to a billboard in the middle of the desert – no one can find it!
You are probably bored of being targeting by SEO companies who will offer you number one on page one of Google for anything from a fixed one off fee of $200 to massive figures of several thousand dollars per month.
The former just isn’t possible; put simply if you do get to number one of Google, your competition will try to get above you which will push you down. SEO is not a one off.
Paying thousands per month is probably effective, but at a budget way beyond what your website is returning you, and therefore not appropriate. For the average small company website, is little and often is best.

Custom Search Engine Optimisation
Large websites and eCommerce sites will need a review before we can quote for SEO, as many larger sites have custom functionality, significant product categories, products etc that can all affect the time it takes to provide an effective SEO solution.
We would rather quote for doing it properly, even if it means you don’t take it up with us, than quote for what cannot be achieved and have you unhappy with the results.
NB. Unfortunately SEO work does not and cannot come with guarantees. We will always do our best to get you as high up in the search engines as possible, but NOBODY can dictate to Google – they can only influence ratings. We will give you the best chance of succeeding in the search engines as possible given the budget.
The above packages apply to WordPress web sites only. For other systems please contact us for a quote.
