GUARANTEED SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION
Guaranteed SEO is based on your target keywords specified in your agreement and based on traffic and/or position increase, which ever is greater, after a minimum of six month contract. SEO takes time; here is no quick fix to get you to the top of search engines or to increase traffic. If you have a more time sensitive need for top of search results placement, it is suggested that you use internet marketing (PPC) which we can manage for you to ensure a campaign stays within a predetermined budget and produces the highest results. If at least 50% of your keywords don’t improve by even one placement on any search engine you’ll receive free basic package for one additional month until 50% of the keywords change by at least one placement on any search engine up to three free months.
