Search Engine Optimisation - Guaranteed revenue and longevity
SEO used to be a way for businesses to get ahead. The early adopters, the innovators, made millions from utilizing the one place we all go for everything - Search Engines.
Now SEO has become mandatory for businesses who wish to survive in a digital age. Like EFTPOS, it's no longer a luxury but a necessity. If you're not on Google, especially; you're losing.
Google is the largest source of new customers available to us; everyone uses Google to look for everything. Your competitors are getting their share, but you're not; you're only falling further behind.
In a nutshell: Search Engine Optimisation is going through the motions of what it takes to impress the algorithm of search engines like Google, Bing, Yahoo, Ecosia, DuckDuckGo and the rest of them.
Think of it like a Miss Universe competition with the algorithm as the judge; it has certain criteria it judges on (over 200) with its own ideas of what’s good and what’s not. We work to understand the algorithms of multiple search engines to get them to recommend your business as #1 over your competitors.
Ideally you’ll be looking at millions in reliable revenue, but, really, it depends on your business.
The simple formula is to take the number of expected website visitors, multiplied by your website’s conversion rate, multiplied by the Lifetime Value (LTV) of your customers.
Honestly, SEO is not for every business. If what you sell is not something people are actively searching for then SEO will likely not work for your business. Before you commit to one of our SEO packages, please consider if your customers will seek you out.
We will also let you know if we feel SEO will not be beneficial for you; before beginning any project we do some quick research to see if there’s enough searches for your relevant keywords to be worth your while.
A few months. SEO does require you to be someone with some forethought for your business; it is not an overnight change.
SEO is what sets your business up for decades, for as long as search engines are in use; it ensures longevity and legacy. It is the long-term investment in the future of your business; not a way to make a ‘quick buck’.
Much like other professional services it differs depending on the project but, broadly-speaking, the more money there is to be made; the more it’s going to cost to get a slice of that pie.
If we’re talking specifics:
Yes. 12 months is our standard contract term.
The strategies we implement are 12 month strategies; both our reputation and your success depend upon seeing it to fruition.
We charge monthly, in advance, with the due date being the same date each month from the receipt of the first payment.
If monthly is not suitable for you, please reach out and we may be able to negotiate something more suitable.
It’s really simple.
Without going into jargon about our methods, we:
Yes. There’s not much else to be said here, but yes; we optimise for voice search through Siri, Alexa and Google Assistant.
We will custom design and build your website in WordPress, whether you want a brochure website, a lead-generating website or an ecommerce website.
We also have an array of templates (over 180) for one-page websites that we have custom designed and built for you to select one from.
Depending on the project, it can take as little as a few days (one-page template website) up to 6 weeks (a full shebang ecommerce website with 20-odd products) from project commencement to live.
At this stage we work exclusively with WordPress. In our experience they are far-and-away the best platform, overall.
It depends on the functionality and resources required for the project.
Do you want a contact form? An appointment-setting feature? Payment functionality (ecommerce)? How many pages will you need? Will you provide content (copy and media) or would you like us to?
Yes and no. We don’t provide website hosting directly with our own servers, but we host all clients websites on Lenode’s cloud server, located in Sydney, for clients with no preferred web hosting provider.
We can, absolutely, provide both copy and royalty-free media, if that is what you wish.
We do ask, however, for you to provide media in some cases, such as product images and ‘About Us’ pages. Not only does it help your customers, it can often look more authentic than royalty-free images.
It’s your website; it’s your decision.
We do offer a maintenance service that includes security updates, regular back-ups and overall general maintenance. And we also offer service for ongoing works on the website, such as specials or upcoming events that you would like featured on your website.
If it can be done; we can do it.
I don’t claim that we’ve done it all before, a million times over, but there’s not been a single feature we’ve had requested that we haven’t been able to deliver on.
We appreciate the chance to learn/practice; so don’t hesitate to ask.
