Some businesses design a website as a purely promotional piece of material for their clients. Other businesses want an authoritative, high-ranking website that drives qualified traffic. If you’re in the latter, your company will benefit greatly from hiring an SEO agency.

No and we don’t advice giving your money to a company that does. No reputable SEO company will ever guarantee rankings. While the ultimate goal is to have your website rank #1 for every keyword in your industry, the real point of an SEO agency is to drive qualified traffic that converts to sales.

An age-old answer to an age-old question: It Depends. Competition in the industry and keywords can affect your ability to rank. We generally tell our clients between 6 months to 1 year to start ranking in a highly competitive industry.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is important to grow your organic traffic, but an effective SEO plan takes times and investments.

Sure! After you’ve spent all day managing a business, sales and employees you’ll have plenty of time to sit in front of your computer generating backlinks, writing keyword-rich landing pages and resubmitting to the top search engines.

If you don’t envision yourself being able to commit to your website, hire a professional SEO & Internet Marketing Company.

Not necessarily. If you have a good website designed in the WordPress platform, we can easily take it over and implement best SEO practices. However, if your website is older and the CMS is not easy to navigate, we may suggest rebuilding the website through our sister company Total Web Company.

Keyword rankings do fluctuate, but you can expect to see a steady increase in your results over time.

Not necessarily. We keep the overall look and design of the website, but some subtle changes will need to be made. This may include adding/editing existing heading tags, rewording or adding more copy onto the pages and improving navigation.

Website design and SEO are two separate entities. Designing a website includes development and incorporating buttons, images and an easy-to-follow navigation. SEO comes afterwards and includes well-written, keyword driven copy, internal linking, meta titles/descriptions, among many other things.

It is possible for keyword rankings to level off, but that does not mean it will become ineffective. Once you’ve gained #1 rankings for all your targeted keywords, slowing down on SEO for just a few weeks can result in significant decrease in your rankings, traffic & sales.

Total Web SEO uses several software tools to track traffic, keyword rankings, backlinks, etc. We send our clients quarterly reports containing this information. The numbers should reflect consistent and steady growth, which should directly reflect sales.

We do offer SEO plans where we’ll simply optimize the existing pages on your website. While you may see a slight increase in rankings, SEO is long-term and requires constant, consistent work and effort.

We all know Google is the powerhouse search engine, but SEO is meant to work across all platforms. Bing, Yahoo and DuckDuck Go are equally important and should be treated as such.

Website analytics is a tool, commonly Google Analytics, used to track the number of users coming to your website. Besides the amount of people, it can tell us where they come from (referral, organic, social media), how long they stayed, what pages they visited and if they purchased an item! This is an extremely useful, easy to navigate and free tool you should be using whether you’re investing in SEO or not.

Yes, both positively & negatively. Good SEO with strong rankings can improve sales month after month. However, using black hat SEO tactics can resulting in you being completely removed from the search engines and your sales will plummet.
