Experience is our secret ingredient. We have been involved with search engine marketing for 30 years and 10 years in the Pasco/Pinellas area. We operated an SEO business that got top rankings for 10, 30 or 50 keywords in days, until Google went from about 400 updates annually to about 9 daily...

Experience is our secret ingredient. We have been involved with search engine marketing for 30 years and 10 years in the Pasco/Pinellas area. We operated an SEO business that got top rankings for 10, 30 or 50 keywords in days, until Google went from about 400 updates annually to about 9 daily updates. How Google chooses to rank a Web page in its organic search results is a total secret that nobody knows. SEO has always been a scientific wild guess, but 9 updates daily to the ranking formula makes it infinitely harder
and, if you're lucky enough to see a page 1 ranking, it can quickly become a "here today, gone tomorrow" experience.
We have learned that it feels really good when you quit banging your head against the wall.
We now use Google My Business and offer Google Maps 3-Pack placements and Knowledge Graphs that stay as long as we promote our client. We have always tried to exceed customer expectations, so we also provide neighborhood ranking in Google Maps 3-Packs and Knowledge Graphs for up to 9 neighborhoods in a chosen city. Neighborhood marketing has far less competition
So a client that chooses our 30 keyword offer actually has 300 potential Google Maps 3-Pack and Knowledge Graph listings in that selected city.
We want to point out again that we are in the traffic driving business, not the customer gathering business. It is up to you to convert visitors to customers when they arrive. If you cancel our service because we don't bring you customers, your potential for success with search engine marketing is likely to be highly disappointing, no matter who provides the service.

My experience as an SEO company is that my clients will gravitate to keywords they like or feel will be the magic they need in being found. In a whole lot of cases they are sadly misinformed.
First of all, the concept of using the most searched for keywords today is often rejected because many of these have hundreds of thousands or even millions of competing Web pages. The "web page optimization" process involves ranking for low traffic keywords. It could take many months to rank on page 1 for a keyword with over 1 million competing Web pages and only 10 slots on Page 1.
We do not allow our clients to choose their passwords because we are measured by the traffic that we drive to their Web pages. It is not in our best interests to use keywords that do not have the ability to drive high traffic.
We are successful with this approach. We have a lawyer in the Los Angeles area with 70 keywords in 4 California cites. All of them have multiple page 1 positions on the Google organic search results and quite a few are the #1 ranking. Their Web page traffic is far higher than they have ever had.

For many years, SEO was "optimizing" Web pages to rank on Page 1 of the Google organic search results. Way too many people do not stop to understand that Google's Web page ranking strategy is a closely guarded secret that only a few people inside Google know and NOBODY outside Google knows. In addition, that Google ranking formula changes about 400 times per year.
So, how can you possibly "optimize" a Web page for a total secret? You can't. SEO that relies on "optimizing" Web pages with the perfect keywords in exactly the right places is based on inference and is a scientific wild guess. Your page 1 ranking, assuming that you can get one, is subject to vanishing with the next Google update.
Page 1 Google rankings should not be the end objective. You want page 1 rankings on Google to drive traffic to your Web page. If your Web page can engage successfully with visitors and convert them to customers, you're sales will be very likely to increase.
WHERE you are on page 1 of Google determines the percentage of clicks to that search results page that you can expect. The top 5 search results, for example, share 74% of all the clicks to any Google search results page. Almost nobody ever looks at Page 2, so the only appreciable traffic you will get to your Web page is going to come from the top listings on Page 1 of the Google organic search results.
Here's a tip that is very problematic for the Web page optimizers. The more competition a keyword has for Google page ranking, the more traffic that keyword will bring. That makes sense because nobody really wants to compete for a keyword with little to no traffic. Unfortunately, Web page "optimizers" go after keywords with 40,000 or less competing Web pages to improve their changes of producing page 1 rankings in the 4 to 6 month window they ask for. Those keywords, as a rule, have minimum traffic. High traffic and a Web page capable of converting visitors to customers is the key to success on the Internet.
I'm amused when I see advice that says when somebody says that they can get you on Page 1 of Google to run away. Page 1 is where the money is, so that's pretty bad advice. Perhaps what they should say is not to give anyone your money until they can prove they can actually produce Page 1 results consistently.
Lets say that you have Page 1 ranking and your Web page traffic is acceptable. How can you increase the traffic? When all you have to promote is your keyword and your Web page URL, there is really only two ways to increase traffic to your Web page:
1.) Move up higher on the Google search results page and get a larger percentage of the clicks to that search results page.
2.) Have more people searching your keywords.
The limiting factor is the promotion of the Web page URL. There's only one of them.
What if you could abandon Web page "optimization" and have many Web 2.0 properties all ranking on page 1 of the Google organic search results for your keyword, and all of them pointing at your Web page?
For example, if you promote a streaming video to Google, the GoogleBot has to watch it from beginning to end because it's a stream and not a Web URL. When the stream ends, the GoogleBot does 2 things:
1.) Assigns a Google organic search page ranking.
2.) Posts the video to YouTube.
So, you can have a Google organic search ranking in minutes. Make no mistake though. This is not simply dumping a video on YouTube, which is not likely to do anything for you.
So, what if you could rank a number of Web 2.0 properties, many of which are Google products that Google knows, trusts and likes. For example:
1.) Streaming videos (YouTube Live Events)
2.) Google Sites landing pages
3.) Blogger.com blog pages (Blogger.com is owned by Google)
4.) Google Maps pages (Not the 3-box, real organic search results)
5.) WordPress.com blogs (seen by Google as a well-respected authority site)
Now you have a much larger range of properties being promoted and a much more likely potential of having MULTIPLE page 1 rankings on the same Google search results page, with the resulting traffic increase. Of course, that does not happen immediately, but happens over time. However, because of the properties used for Google organic search ranking, that time is in weeks, not months.
Can this be done and are there proven results that can be seen? As far as I know, we are the ONLY SEO company that can do this and we have absolute proof on our Website. For example, a California lawyer with 70 keywords in 4 large California cities. ALL have multiple page 1 positions in the top 5 search results and some are the #1 search result.
We put our money where our mouth is because we do not charge clients until the search results they asked for are on Page 1 of the Google organic search results and can be verified on Google itself. So, there's no reason to run away. You have nothing to lose if we cannot do what we say that we can do.

There are 2 ways to get on page 1 of Google. Google AdWords is pay-per-click and you are not on Google full time. The number of times you show up and how long you stay are dependent on your monthly budget and what you're willing to pay per click. The caveat is that Google AdWords can be very expensive advertising. If it is NOT your turn on Google AdWords and someone searches using your keyword, you will lose a potential sale.
Most people prefer to look in the Google organic search results because you cannot buy your way in there. A page 1 Google organic search results listing can drive massive traffic to your Website, but that will depend where you are on the page. The top 5 results on any Google organic search results page share 74% of all the clicks to that search result page. If you are #10 on the page, you will get a very small percentage of clicks because people do not like to scroll down a page. If you are on page 2, you are, effectively, invisible.
It has been said that the best place to hide a dead body is on Page 2 of Google because nobody ever looks there.
The main problem with SEO is the fraud that scares people away. The $250 to $500 monthly SEO range is where the fraud lives. Many business have little to no understanding of how SEO works and the huge traffic it can send to your Website. Because they are unaware of the value, they seek out the cheapest price. Almost every adult is aware that, as a general rule, you get what you pay for.
A great many vendors in the $250 to $500 monthly bracket will tell you there are no guarantees and that it can take 4 to 6 months to produce results, if possible. Usually, it's not possible and you lose your money. Amazingly, there are many small businesses that got sucked into a deal like this multiple times.
How can you avoid the fraud? Ask for proof of results, and hope they're real. Never accept an image of a Google search results page because those can be made to look like whatever is needed. Always demand a link to an actual Google search results page that shows those page 1 rankings that they say they can get. If the links on that page don't have anything that sends you to google.com, be very suspicious.

The absolute best way to get more traffic to your Website is to get found by searchers, You could have Pulitzer Prize-winning content on your Website, but if nobody knows you're there, it will do you no good at all.
Others will tell you that if you have great content, Google might award you a page 1 ranking? Really? How Google decides to rank Web pages is a very tightly guarded secret that only a few within Google know, and nobody outside knows. N-O-B-O-D-Y. Not your favorite Web guru or the one with 10 Google certifications that tells you he knows someone that works for Google. That could be true because Google has thousands of employees, but they do not know the ranking secret.
There are those that will tell you that SEO is easy and you can do it yourself. Do some research and you'll find that the number of businesses that paid to get page 1 rankings on Google consists of a very large number of companies that paid for 4 to 6 months and never did get on Page 1 of Google. If people are paying SEO professionals and getting nothing, what makes you believe it is a trivial task?
A lot of problems could be avoided if potential customers asked for one simple thing - proof that they can get page 1 rankings on Google.
We do two things to show customers that we know what we're doing and can produce results:
1.) We offer proof right on our Website, like THIS.
2) We do not charge a customer until they ARE on Page 1 of Google and go to Google and verify that.
There are only 3 things you need to do to get customers from the Internet:
1,) Get our there. (Have a Website)
2,) Get found (Be on page 1 of Google)
3.) Get business (BUT your Web page MUST be able to convert visitors to customers to be successful).

It is the job of the Website to engage with visitors and convert them into customers.
If more people would pay attention to the basics instead of believing that someone from outside is going to deliver a paying customer to them, they'd be a lot more successful Website owners.
And yes, I DO know what I'm talking about. Only someone like me, with over 30 years of experience can do THIS.
