SEM-Consultancy - Helping you improve and maintain your web site's ranking

Frequently Asked Questions

Our Managed Search Engine Marketing Service (SEM) is for SMEs who need their web site ranked well in the major search engines and require continued management of their web site's SEM to maintain that position. An overview of the service is available here.

Why do I need to get my web site optimized for the major search engines?

If you want visitors to reach your web site and make purchases, they need to know about it. You could advertise in newspapers and magazines, have a glossy TV advertising campaign or hope that people type in your domain name by some fluke. Alternatively, you could optimize your web site such that it is listed in the top 2 or 3 pages of the major search engines for keywords or key-phrases pertinent to your business.

Can you guarantee a top 10 placement in the major search engines?

Although some unethical SEOs make the claim that they can get you a top 10 placement, this simply isn't possible in a majority of cases. After all, if every SEO made this claim to 100 clients chasing the best ranking for the same keyphrases, 90 clients would go disappointed.

However, we guarantee to use the most effective, up-to-date and ethical methods of search engine marketing and optimization to ensure that your web site ranks well.

How long will it take to optimise my site?

This largely depends on the site in question. Our initial service consists of analysing your web site, producing a current ranking report, identifying problems that may affect your search engine ranking and optimising 10 - 15 pages of your web site.

Is a high search engine position all I need for my site to be successful?

Even with a number 1 ranking web site, you may not receive a high return on investment (ROI), therefore as well as trying to improve your web site ranking, we will help improve your return on investment. This involves tracking your visitors from the search engine results pages to conversion to find the most effective search engine listings, pay per click ads and content.

Will you submit your web site to 100s or 1000s of search engines and directories?

Over-submitting your web site to 100s or 1000s of search engines and directories is false economy. Any service that simply offers search engine submission will not improve the ranking of your web site in the search engines that will bring you quality traffic. We believe in working with our clients to understand their businesses, their target visitors and the products and services that they provide. We then work with our clients on the most effective means of marketing their web sites.

How long will it take for my site to climb up the search engine listings?

We regularly see sites receiving higher ranking within a week or two and therefore work with clients to ensure that pages are optimised in the most beneficial manner. However, we cannot guarantee how long it will take to see an improvement in your web site's ranking as this is outside our control.

What other benefits can Site-Report offer as part of the SEM-Consultancy Service?

As experts in usability, accessibility, web design, internet marketing and web site strategy, we will offer general advice on improvements that you can make to your web site. Where possible, we will include examples of what changes to make.

What are the ongoing costs associated with the SEO-Doctor Service?

Without analysing your web site, we can't accurately estimate the ongoing costs of the SEM-Doctor Service. However, as part of the initial service, we will include a quotation which will include a breakdown of any future work that would be of benefit. This may include the inclusion of new search-engine friendly and visitor friendly content pages and further optimization of pages.

Can we have a tailored SEO-Doctor Package?

The SEM-Consultancy Service can be tailored to your exact requirements. For example, if you'd like to make the content changes yourself based on our recommendations, simply contact us with details of your requirements and we will do our best to assist.

Can SEM-Consultancy Service handle dynamic sites?

Indeed, dynamic sites are our speciality! We can handle sites, large and small, static or dynamic. However, we can only help if you ask! ;-)
