Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
Get Your Website on the First Page!
You probably found our site on the first page of Google, Yahoo, or Bing - which is an important first step. After all, if we can't rank in the top ten, why should you hire us to get your website on the first page of the search engine results?
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is the process of "optimizing" your website's layout, content, and other elements in order to maximize your website's exposure and readability to the major search engines. A website that is highly optimized will show up higher in the organic, or natural, search results on Google, Yahoo, Bing, and other search engines.
Unfortunatley, the SEO industry is full of con artists and scams. That's why we think having a local SEO company is so important. We know the Tampa Bay area, understand the local market conditions and challenges, and have a base of happy local clients who will happily offer referrals and success stories. Regardless of whether you choose us for your SEO project, please take a moment to review Google's Tips for Hiring an SEO Professional. This document will save you a lot of time, money, and headaches!

What We Do
We help you improve your search engine rankings on Google, Yahoo, Bing, and other search engines! We work primarily with local small businesses in the Tampa Bay, St Petersburg, Clearwater, Sarasota, and Orlando, Florida areas to improve search engine rankings for small business websites.
If you're reading this, you probably already have a website (if not, see our web design page). You probably hired someone to create your site, or built it yourself, and thought you could sit back and watch the money roll in...
But now you realize that's not always the case! Your site probably isn't showing up in the search rankings, or is showing up on page 3 (or 12, or 100) - which is pretty much the same thing.
62% of internet searchers never look beyond the first page of the search results!
What We Don't Do
- Telemarketing: You've probably received high-pressure sales calls from companies that promise to "get top placement on the search engines" or "make your site number one on Google" for a few hundred dollars a month, or a few thousand dollars up front (ironically, these calls are what prompted us to get into this field in the first place!). We refuse to do that. If you are interested in our services, call us or send us an e-mail! Otherwise you may never hear from us!
- Make promises we can't keep: Achieving top placement on Google, Yahoo, and Bing is tricky business, and frankly - it's hard to come by! We don't guarantee top placement unless we are certain we can improve your search engine rankings. We also consult and advise you, and give you some fundamental tools to understand how to improve your search rankings yourself! We work with small businesses (and own a few ourselves), and we realize that you are an entrepreneur - you like to do things yourself, and probably don't have thousands of dollars to spend on search engine optimization! We get it!
- Claim to know everything: The only true search engine optimization, or SEO, experts in the world are the folks who work for Google, Yahoo, and MSN! Their search engine algorithms are closely held trade secrets that generate millions of dollars for their respective companies. Obviously, they don't share them freely. Furthermore, they have hundreds of software engineers who are tweaking, changing, testing, and (hopefully) improving the search engines every day. Little tricks that improve your search engine placement today may not work tomorrow or next week. But our fundamentally sound SEO techniques have proven themselves time and time again.
- Use tricks or loopholes to improve your search engine rank: There is no way to trick the search engines. There used to be some "tricks of the trade" that could improve your ranking. But these are dead and gone. Google, Yahoo, and Bing have some of the best and brightest minds in the computer and software industries, and they improve the search engines every day. There are no tricks or loopholes to get top placement on the search engines. Anyone who claims otherwise is a shady character, and attempting to use tricks or loopholes can have the opposite effect - getting your search engine rankings lowered, or even having the devastating effect of getting your site banned from the listings! Stay away from these people!
