FAQ´s
Q. Why do I need a Website? I’m doing ok without one!
A. The Truth is you don’t. However, using the Yellow Pages to advertise just doesn’t work any more. When was the last time you used it to find a product or service? Today people use their computers and smart phones to look up information and you need to be there so they can find you.
Q. Is it expensive to get a good website done?
A. No, the fact is you can actually make one yourself for FREE! But the problem is not in making the site. You need to build in advanced (SEO) Search Engine Optimization techniques, in order to move your website to the front page of Google so people can find you. This is what we do.
Q. I already have a nice website created but no one visits it?
A. Great! Then we have a good starting point. We’ll take a look to see what kind of improvements can be made to help you gain more customers. But more important we provide a solution for tracking and analytics to actually see who’s coming and going and why.
Q. Can’t I just pay a college kid to build a Website for me cheap?
A. Yes, many people have website design skills. However, you need to place a high value on your Website and treat it as a lasting investment. One which will bring you loads of new customers, and increase your sales & conversions every day. Where and how your site ranks in the search engines is the real value of your site. We can easily build an outstanding Website and get in ranked on the first page of Google – For less than most companies spend on their annual Yellow Pages budget!
Q. I know a little about Website’s and SEO, can I do this myself?
A. Yes you can - providing you have the knowledge, skills and time. However, most of our work comes from other Webmasters and designers who are very skilled at building Websites. But they don’t have the time or the SEO skills it takes to position sites at the top of the search engines. That’s why there are separate specialized companies like SEO Web Technologies. If we can use this medical illustration – “It would be like to seeing a family doctor, and then being referred to a Cardiac Surgeon for the actual procedure.
Q. Our Website has been at the top before but we can’t keep it there.
A. You may have had some limited success in getting to the top of the search engines. However, it’s really difficult to stay there unless you know how. Here’s a good illustration I wrote in one of my articles – “Conquering SEO is like trying to shoot a falling snowflake, at 100 yards, with a 30 mile per hour cross wind, using a daisy BB Gun”. It just keeps changing.
Q. Do I have to maintain the Website when it’s done?
A. No. In fact, when your site is setup properly from the beginning you will only need a “Check Up” done every few months or so. However, you must realize you’ll have to budget some annual expense towards it, just as you would any other marketing or advertising program. Google changes their algorithms frequently, so we have to stay on top of it.
Q. Will you Guarantee this website will work for me and bring in more business?
A. The truth is no company can guarantee the success of your business. Only you have the power to influence the future of your business. We will guarantee that we’ll work very hard using all our resources to get you loads of new visitors to your website. We will use our SEO and marketing skills to turn it into a lead generation, sales conversion machine. But that will not guarantee your business will flourish, only you have control over that.
Q. How long does it take?
A. That depends on what your goals are. Most sites are up and running within 3 weeks after payment is made. However, moving up in the search engines can take up to three months. With that being said, we’ve also had some sites up, running, and ranked on the first page of Google in only 3 days.
Q. Do I need to have hosting or a domain name or any technical items done on my end?
A. No. We do all of the technical work for you. If you already have a site setup, we just need to have log in access to your server so we can make the necessary changes. Once we have completed our work you’ll be given access to all your information for any future changes on your end. It is your Website and domain name you will own it, not us.
Q. Will you work with our existing Web designer or Webmaster?
A. Yes, absolutely. We value the skills and relationships you have in place. It can actually make our job a little easier. We just need to be clear at the start, who the lead project manager will be. We’ll need to have certain things done at certain times, as this will be critical to the success of the site.
