If you do not understand what these terms mean, OR you do not know how to make this happen - please get some help. Give me a call - I would be happy to help you understand how to get this done.
An SEO Company or Consultant
Sometimes you need an SEO company, and some small businesses only need an SEO consultant. We are both. If you have been rebuffed because you cannot spend thousands per month, call ABConsulting - we do something most SEO companies will not do - we will work within your budget. YOU tell us what you can spend and we will do the best possible job for that budget. We have larger clients sprinkled around the country, and we have small businesses in the greater Raleigh NC area: Fuquay Varina, Cary, Holly Springs, Apex, Garner, Durham, and Morrisville.
The ABC's of Online Marketing - ABConsulting serves as the freelance marketing and SEO consultant for many small businesses in Raleigh, North Carolina, the surrounding area, and all over the U.S.A. We provide affordable seo consultant services, SEO advice, search engine placement and optimization, seo strategy and search engine promotion. We have experience with PPC marketing and advertising (GoogleAdwords), and we can help you with
e-mail campaign marketing.
We also build Google-friendly Web sites, redesign sites to help them with Google ranking and other search engines. And we do monthly web site maintenance for companies that do not have a Webmaster or IT department - we can typically give you 24 hour turn-around - most of our clients would affirm this in a recommendation.
Part of being an affordable SEO company/consultant/contractor is helping you to avoid spending money on things that have little chance to bring you business. There are many SEO companies out there urging you to pump thousands of dollars into GoogleAds, Facebook, and other social media. Some of my clients have used social media and done well, but it is not for every small business. It will cost you time and/or money and it might not bring you any results. It all depends on your target audience. Read my study on SEO Mistakes to Avoid to see numbers that prove social media does not necessarily mean high search engine rankings. I do have a client who get very good results from Facebook and Twitter, so social media is good for some small businesses.
GoogleAds (PPC) and SEO
SEO can include GoogleAds (PPC) which can also be helpful IF you know what you are doing. You must remember that Google's primary objective with PPC is to take YOUR money. Many SEO companies will push you to spend thousands of dollars on PPC. IF you know how to measure results it can be a great way to advertise. One of my clients has spent the money to measure GoogleAds - the average cost per lead is around $50 - it takes an average of 5 GoogleAd leads ($250) to make a sale and the average sale is $2,500. He has determined that he will allow his GoogleAds to run ALL the time...But it took some time to get these numbers AND to get good analytics.
PageRank, Backlinks and SEO
Many SEO companies will try to sell you SEO services with scare tactics - "Your PageRank is only a 2. You can never get ranked on Google with a PR of 2." OR, "Your site only has 6 backlinks - you cannot get on Page 1 with Google until you get more backlinks." Do Not Waste Your Money.
PageRank is almost meaningless. Backlinks are good, but do not spend tons of money trying to get backlinks - good SEO is always about content. Read my study on SEO Mistakes to Avoid to see numbers that prove PageRank and Backlinks are not as important as some SEO experts want you to think.
Good Content is Good SEO
I once heard a Google VP at an SEO Conference state, "Good content is what Google is looking for. Make your site a place to find valuable content." For most small business owners, this is not difficult. Just tell people about what you sell, or what you do. There are ways of telling your story that will serve you better with the search engines - I will help with that part.
