Why would our website go from being ranked on the first page of results for Google a few years ago to page 57 of search results?

There could be several reasons for this. Google is constantly refining and changing their algorithm and this can result in some websites changing positions.

• Website architecture can play a huge part if how Google ranks your website, and actual content and how well your website functions can also play a big part.
• If Google can't easily find all your website pages, your ranking is affected.
• Using paid linking services and/or other SEO "tricks" can cause Google to penalize you if they think you are trying to artificially boost your SEO. 

       We offer a Basic Website Review which can help identify SEO problems with your website.

Can you help us to achieve number one rankings with the top search engines?

We can help, but we can't promise you absolute positioning because we have no control of major search engines search algorithms, nor can we control what keywords or phrases the public will use to search. We do utilize best practices for SEO which includes website architecture, meta data, pro-active sitemap.xml notification with Google and more to insure your website can be found and analyzed by major search engines.

With Google dominating major search engines, do I need to be concerned about Yahoo or Bing?

Yes. You never know what potential clients are using to try and find a company, product or service. We create websites that are search engine optimized for all search engines, but we do recognize that different search engines have different rules for how they rank websites.

Do I need to worry about meta tags for better SEO results?

Yes. Best practices for SEO include creating meta tags for all pages to help search engines which are relying on meta data in order to rank your website content.

I've read that I should be using Google Webmaster Tools to improve my SEO. Is this true?

We set up Google Webmaster Tools accounts for our clients and monitor our clients' websites using Webmaster Tools. This service helps us to see a website in the same way that Google is seeing your website and there are many resources for making sure there are no website page errors or other problems with the website.

How do we get quality inbound and outbound links to and from our website?

We recommend contacting relevant organizations and other websites which have great content and resources and offer to link to them in exchange for link from their website to your website. It is not about the number of links, but more about the overall quality of the links.

We just launched a new website. How do we submit it to the search engines?

All major search engines have a process where you can notify the search engine about your website. We do not recommend using the $29.95 submission services which claim to submit your website to thousands of search engines, as these sorts of mass submissions will lead to spam. Focus on submitting to Google, Bing, and Yahoo, initially, and other search engines which are widely used.

Someone told me my website has too few pages to get good results with Google. Why is that?

Google wants to provide its users with the best or most accurate search results it can. Websites with less than 10 pages may not give Google enough insight into what your website is really about, and often general information pages about your business are ranked differently than information pages on your website about specific keyword topics, products and how-to information pages.
