One of the most common misconceptions in search engine optimization today is the assumption that a search engine optimization expert can guarantee top ten placements in the organic search engine results pages by using special techniques or skills unknown to the average SEO. With the complexity of search engine algorithms, especially Google’s, I assure you that search engine results cannot be manipulated (without consequence) and the truth is: there are no guarantees in the SEO world.
If any SEO professional offers guaranteed placement within Google’s top ten organic search engine results pages, I suggest you run and don’t look back. Search engine optimizing a site is a long-term commitment that has no end; it’s an ongoing journey that requires upkeep to maximize your positions in the organic search results and you should have reasonable expectations of what is capable of being achieved over time.
Before you begin, realize that whatever goals you’ve set for yourself and your business, the amount of money you’re going to need to spend will reflect accordingly. Outsourcing your SEO to me will cost anywhere between $300 (small business targeting a limited number of keywords) to $5000 (larger corporations targeting a larger number of keywords) a month or more. The scope of your project will determine what is needed; however, I am highly proficiency in web design, analytics, server administration, copywriting, building links and blogging.
When planning and executing an effective and efficient SEO campaign, understanding who your target audience is and what they are searching for will dramatically increase the efficiency of your SEO campaign, simply because they’re the people you’re trying to put your website in front of.
