SEO FAQsWhy is SEO or search engine optimization important?
Websites have two audiences. The first is the human visitor, and the other is the search engine robot or spider. These are programs that crawl the Internet looking for good, relevant information. If your website is poorly designed (as most are) with dirty, extraneous code, the spiders will have trouble extracting the actual content. SEO employs a strict methodology whereby the website is presented in a format most friendly to the spiders to maximize the site's content, hence maximizing the site's search engine visibility.
When is it best to employ SEO?
The best time to incorporate SEO is during the development phase of your website. This assures that all elements critical to optimization become the fabric of the site's makeup. Further, by incorporating SEO during development, you save yourself the added expense of having to go back and correct the problems. Depending on the size of your website, this can become quite costly.
What if my site is already online and in need of repair?
A site can be optimized from virtually any phase. In some cases, however, the level of maximum SEO will be restricted by costs. Despite this, at least some level of optimization is better than none at all. It may be worth considering comparing the cost of optimizing a broken site with replacing it with an entirely new SEO site.
What part does the actual content play?
In the past, the saying that "content is king" was entirely true. Nowadays, however, the truth is that "unique content is king." In fact, it is this that is being presented to the search engines. SEO merely increases the odds that it will be found and indexed. Good, clear, and concise website copy, therefore, is an investment well worth the cost. Together with good SEO, unique content that can't be found anywhere else on the Internet will put you ahead of the search engine game. See Copywriting Services for further details.
Are there any guarantees that my website will be #1?
No. And if anyone claims otherwise, run for the hills! (See what Google has to say about SEOs who guarantee placement) Unlike traditional media where you speak with an advertising representative and negotiate a page placement in a magazine, newspaper, or television schedule, no one controls the search engines in this capacity. A good SEO firm knows what the search engines are looking for and then delivers precisely that; and delivers it in an ethical manner in 100% accordance with defined standards and parameters.
If I am not guaranteed a #1 position, what are the guarantees?
Neostead is so confident in its ability to dramatically improve your site's search engine visibility and placement , that we offer you the opportunity to cancel at any time. Before signing up, however, please be aware that results will vary from site to site and that SEO, like any marketing campaign, is a long-term proposition requiring a commitment to stay the course when things don't "appear" to be improving. This is especially true for new domains that must overcome the sandbox effect. Also please note that no monies will be refunded and all website development costs must be paid in full to retain ownership of the website. We apologize for the inconvenience, but despite expectations, much work and resources are expended in the SEO process that are funded from the outset of the project.
What are the payments terms
All new website packages consist of a development fee which must be paid prior to beginning work. Monthly fees are initiated immediately upon launch of your new website.
What if I need a custom package?
No problem. In cases where you require more than 50 pages, a custom package can be delivered.
How do I get started?
Simple. Just go to the "Get Started" page and give us some information about your project. We will then get back to you with further details and to discuss your needs.
