If you paid over $2,000 each month for your website and asked to change content on a page and you were told “IF” it could be done, it would be is an EXCEPTION, would you be OK with this response?

You have to be joking. This is wrong for so many reasons. Really!

As an SEO expert I work with clients in a variety of industries. Today, I need to speak out about a real estate website optimization client that uses a third party website platform.

I have been preforming search engine optimization on the real estate website for 1 1/2 years. Along the way there have serious SEO problems uncovered with the website platform. Basically, it is not SEO friendly. Working with the vendor has proven to be challenging, frustrating and extremely time consuming. Today I have to speak out and vent…

We asked to have content changed on a lead capture page. Nothing crazy…. just text changes. I am certain that with the changes, which include stronger call to action text, the client could see a sizable increase in leads.

I was told that they may not be able to make these changes for us, and IF they did, it would be a huge exception. What? Seriously? This was their last comment.

I need to note, I do not write code or claim to be an IT guru. I am an SEO Google Guru. But when I am told over and over again from a website vendor they are unable or unwilling to make small changes that will have an enormous impact on the websites ability to rank on the search engines,this is inexcusable. I use wordpress (love wordpress!) and make changes to my website constantly so I am not clueless.  Not much gets me all riled up… but the battles of making sure my client is well taken care of has really gotten out of hand.

It is critical when you build a website it is SEO friendly out of the box.

What challenges have you had with your website vendor? Do you pay thousands of dollars each month and face constant obstacles? How have you over come lazy professionals who do not want to take the time to provide you with the best service possible?

Bottom line… your website platform must be SEO friendly to achieve the best rankings. If you need advise, help or suggestions let me know. I want to help every website owner facing these similar challenges.

Thanks for letting me vent. I feel better now.

Most website owners understand the payback a top search engine ranking can have on their business, but have opted to put it on the back burner.

The current economic environment has forced many to reconsider SEO. Profits are down and numerous companies are challenged with the high cost often associated with traditional marketing avenues. Companies are seeking alternative methods to reach their prospects. Now, it is critical that every marketing dollar spent generates the highest potential ROI.

When times are good, the urgency to create a long term marketing plan is not a top priority. But today the financial ability to perform a solid marketing campaign is frequently out of reach.

According to emarketer.com: There is no question that the Internet is now a mainstream medium. In 2009, the US internet population will grow to nearly 200 million users, or 65% of the total population. By 2013, 221 million people will be online, nearly 70% of the population. The demographics of the US Internet population are evolving to reflect the offline population. More women are coming online, and so are more users ages 35 and older. Daily Internet usage among nearly all demographic groups is climbing. Average time spent online by US adults shot up to 14 hours per week in 2008, compared with 11 hours in 2007. Nearly two-thirds of adults claim they go online every day, the majority for more than one hour.

“Frustrated with hearing business owners struggling to afford high-quality SEO services, I decided to offer affordable SEO training events using my proprietary SEO tactics”, says SEO Google Guru, Randi Thornton.

Why SEO training? The high cost associated with good SEO leaves many feeling they may never have the opportunity for success online. SEO is the process of optimizing your website for both your visitors and the search engines. When your presence is invisible online, it is insignificant in doing what a business website is intended for (in most cases), generating brand awareness, leads, sales, prospects, conversations and profits.

Today more than ever, your website could will be your number one business asset. It is your business connection to the world.

The affordable SEO series offers a no nonsense, hands on solution which should enable more companies the opportunity to implement internet marketing into their budgets.
