SEO For Websites

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is taking the steps needed to boost a website's rankings in Google. SEO, or "optimizing" a website, makes it easily findable by searchers.

Small, Medium, and Large Cities

The level of effort of your SEO (Search Engine Optimization) campaign needs to be geared to your competition. The larger your city ("market") generally the more competition and the higher the level of effort needed. For this reason, the monthly charge for SEO campaigns varies depending upon the size of your city. Of course, larger cities also offer more customers. Getting to the top of Google in big cities can take more effort and will cost more but can also provide you with bigger pay-offs.

In larger markets, we increase the level of effort by increasing the number of website improvements and the number of backlinks that we obtain for your website each month. The monthly price breakdown by market size is:

Small Market (under 100,000 population) $250 per month
Medium Market (100,000-250,000 population) $375 per month
Large Market (over 250,000 population) $500 per month

How Long Does SEO Take?

On average, for contractors in urban areas, it takes 1-3 months to get a website onto Page 1. Getting into the top three ranks on Page 1 usually takes a few more months.
