How long will my service take to be completed?
It depends on which service you hire OWT to do and our current
workload at the time you hire us. The Complete
Search Engine Optimization service is the most comprehensive
and requires the most time to complete -- typically 30 to 45 days.
Other individual services
done on an a la carte basis may only take 15 days. If you have
more urgent requirements, we may be able to take your project
on at expedited rates.
In any case, our focus will always be on doing it right, not
doing it quickly.
How soon after my site is optimized will I see results?
It depends on your current status with search engines and web
directories. If your site is already being indexed by search
engines, you could
see results within a matter of weeks.
If your site is not yet listed by the major search
engines and / or web directories, success will
likely take longer (think months) while we wait
for your site to be indexed.
Why should I hire OWT if you won't promise that my site will
be listed at the top of the search engine results?
SEO companies that guarantee to
put your site in the No. 1 position usually try to accomplish
that
in one of these ways:
- they don't tell you the search term you'll be ranked
No. 1 for, and after they're done they brag about having your
site listed No. 1 on a search for your
COMPANY NAME! (Big deal.)
- they use any number of tricks or gimmicks
that are nothing more than an attempt to fool
the search engines -- these tricks may bring
about short-term results, but in the end the
search engines are always smarter and might
ban these sites when the tricks are discovered
(and they eventually will be discovered, usually
by your competitor who will report you to
the search engine).
Even though our promise doesn't include
a No. 1 ranking for your web site, we do have a proven
track record of search engine success which is
filled with top ten rankings and includes several
No. 1 rankings.
Can OWT give us advice to share with our Web Developer, or do
you actually need to make the changes to our web site?
It's up to you. If advice is all you need, our Site
Review and Report may be what you're looking for. We also offer various Search
Engine
Consulting options
that stop short of physically making changes to your web site.
It's likely, of course, that the advice we give will include changes
to
your site's
content and/or
design, so if you're not prepared to change your web site to make
it more
search engine friendly, there may not be much we can do to help!
Where do you submit our site?
Our submission services are generally geared more toward web directories
such as the Open
Directory and others which use human editors
to process submissions. OWT is skilled in writing
site descriptions that don't get rewritten by
editors.
We are already listed in all the search engines, but
we're not satisfied with our ranking. Can you help
us? Do we
need to resubmit
our site?
Yes, we can probably help you; and no, you don't need to resubmit
your site. (If you're not listed in the popular
web directories, submission there is a must AFTER
you've optimized your web site.)
If you're already listed in search engines, you
should consider our Site
Review and Report as
a first step
toward improving
your visibility
in
search engines.
Beyond that, most (if not all) of our other optimization
services may be able to improve your web site
and, in the process, improve
your
web site's
position
in search engines.
