FAQ's
How much does it cost to get onto the first page of Google?
Money isn’t everything, but it sure helps! Google will look at your website and decide on how much of a valuable resourceThis is an over used but completely accurate way of explaining how Google ranks your website. If you have lots of useful content that is being update often then you will be awarded more page rank as your site is a more valuable resource to other Internet users. your website is to other users of the Internet, giving you a score, or “page rank”. Getting onto the first page of Google requires time and patience, depending on how general your keyword(s) are, but it may never happen. For example “printing” would be very hard to get on the first page of Google as it is very general – but “printing in surrey” is more specific, so it would be easier. Although less people would search for it, the people that do will actually find you and will be more likely to be looking for your service or product in your area. This is one of our keywords so search for “printing in surrey” in Google or Yahoo and you will see us on the first page.

How quickly will I get on to Google?
Your website should appear on Google in around 3 – 6 weeks from launch, but it maybe longer or shorter. If you want to appear in Google as soon as possible, we would suggest you set up an SEO account with us at the time your website is being built so we can start the ball rolling straight away.
Can you guarantee my appearing in Google?
In short, no. However we have a proven track record of optimising websites for Google / Yahoo and MSN, but can not offer a guarantee as the search engines update their search listings constantly, and your site can go up as well as down in the listings from one month to the next.
Why not just use Pay Per Click?
Pay per click or PPC is another great way to drive visitors to your website. However you do pay per click. With SEO, once you are in the search engines for your keyword, you don’t pay per click. Its free… Lovely. There is a tipping point where PPC or Pay per click is cheaper than SEO consultancy, but in order to get up the rankings we would recommend that you actually did both. Depending on your industry sector, your budget and your goals, we will recommend which method or mixture of methods would best suit your needs.
