Can SEO Really Make A Difference In Your Website?

By Brent Peterson


The question really shouldn't be whether or not SEO can make a difference in your website. The real question should be whether SEO can make a difference in your business. It has already been proven that search engine optimization can and will help your website to achieve higher rankings but what does all of this mean? What does this mean to your business and what's the bottom line.

While you might be impressed by a company's address or the building that their offices are in, there is a big difference between those that can do SEO and those that make excuses. Many firms will tell you that SEO is difficult and that search engines are changing the rules all the time. They will tell you that there are no guarantees that they can do anything for your website and that what worked once upon a time might not work tomorrow.

If you believe that none of this can be guaranteed or delivered upon then I have some swamp land for you in Florida that I'd like you to take a look at. If someone tells you that they can't promise anything then simply walk away. What are you paying them for anyhow? This is a business and you need to see results. You want to know that the SEO company that you hire is going to work long and hard for you to get you the results that you need and deserve. Anything short of that is just excuses for a lack of knowledge in their skills.

Now do you understand why it's important to know a little bit about SEO before going to look for a company to do the work for you? You should be looking for proof of top rankings right there before your eyes. The company that you hire should have the ability to write good content for you that will cause your website visitors to want to do business with you. Your SEO company should also know how to do the proper keyword research since ranking your website for your business name really isn't going to be a chore and keyword research can either make or break an advertising campaign. Be bold enough to ask the right questions without being accusatory or condescending. Forget about where their office or or how big their firm is. Some of the worst SEO jobs I've ever seen have been handled by big firms. You want someone that is going to actually work for you, right?

What's the payoff? What should you expect from a good SEO company and how can they help your business? With some certainty you should know that they should be able to rank your website in one of the top three spots for at least one buyer keyword within three months. If they aren't able to do that then they're holding back on you. As a result, you should see an increase in business in the form of your phone ringing more or more people walking in your door as if by magic.

Often business will boom almost overnight as a result of a change in search engine rankings and you might actually wonder if someone is messing with your mind at first. Keep an eye out for sudden spikes in business and be prepared to handle the sudden influx of customers as a result of the SEO work.

In closing, do your homework. Don't be impressed by an SEO company because of the building that they're offices are in or what awards they say that they've received. Be logical in your selection of who you work with and ask them for proof of websites that they have gotten ranked and the honest testimonials of former clients. Some of the best people at search engine optimization don't like to flaunt it. They just know their stuff when it comes to SEO.
