Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
Being found on search engines, especially Google is very important for your online business. We have a proven track record with organic search results. We are able to work with you to help your company accomplish that.
Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of improving the quality and quantity of website traffic to a website or a web page from search engines. SEO targets unpaid traffic (known as “natural” or “organic” results) rather than direct traffic or paid traffic. Unpaid traffic may originate from different kinds of searches, including image search, video search, academic search, news search, and industry-specific vertical search engines. (source – Wikipedia)

Search Engine Optimization FAQs
SEO, or Search Engine Optimization, is a large number of actions performed both on and off of your website with the ultimate goal of making your site easier for potential customers to find when using a search engine such as Google or Bing. At Simply Web Services, we don't focus on directing a lot of traffic to your site; instead, we focus on getting the RIGHT traffic going to your website.
SEO is not a do it once and forget about it type of process. It is an ongoing process that requires continuous updates and maintenance, as the search engines update their algorithms and as your competitors change. What you did this month may no longer help you in your placement in six months; in fact, it could hurt your search engine placement. At Simply Web Services, we tailor our SEO packages to each client, to not only fit in their budget but also to get the most "bang for your buck".
Local SEO is SEO that is focused on your local market. This means that we focus on local search engines, social media, and other local resources to help drive local traffic to your website. If you are a restaurant in Fredericksburg, Virginia, then it doesn't help you much to have searchers in Seattle continually have your website appear on the first page of the search results.
In the context of Local SEO, a citation is a mention of your business's name, address, and phone number (NAP) on a third-party website. These citations help search engines verify your business's location and build trust, ultimately boosting your local search rankings. They can appear on various platforms like business directories, review sites, and social media.
Yes and no. When we design new websites, we embed fundamental SEO into the website. We employ tactics like optimized code, relevant keywords, and quick load speeds, along with foundational elements like alt tags, descriptions, and anchor text, making your website SEO friendly, but it likely won't place well with just the basics. In order for your website to place well, you can expect to do more advanced SEO tactics.
Our pricing structure is flexible and customized based on your specific needs and goals. We offer various packages and can create a tailored plan to fit your budget and requirements. Please get in touch with us for a detailed quote and an initial consultation. Please note that SEO can only be successful over a long-term frame, so plan on signing up for at least a one-year package.
SEO is a long-term strategy, and results may take anywhere from 3-6 months or more, depending on factors like the competitiveness of your niche, the current state of your website, and the quality of your content. However, as your rankings improve, you can expect to see increased traffic and better visibility for your website. Some of our clients see results in the first 30 days, while others can take several months.
We offer a comprehensive range of SEO services, including on-page optimization, off-page optimization, technical SEO, local SEO, content creation, keyword research, and competitor analysis. Our team will tailor a custom strategy to meet your specific business goals and target audience. We only practice "white hat" SEO; anything else is just unethical.
Absolutely! Local SEO is a crucial aspect for businesses targeting a specific geographic location like Fredericksburg. We specialize in local SEO optimization, including optimizing your website for location-specific keywords, creating and optimizing Google My Business profiles, building local citations, and enhancing your online presence in the Fredericksburg area.
Yes and no. There isn't a straightforward approach to getting a website found after it has been blacklisted. Blacklisting a website means that, for some reason, the search engine company thinks that your website is not following ethical practices and is in some way trying to defeat the way a search engine lists a website. In English, Google or Bing thinks you are cheating, so they have punished you.
We have helped a dozen or so clients fix the problems and climb back to the first page. Just note that this process can take a while, and there isn't a fast way to fix it either.
