Amazing Grace: S.E.O. and Getting Found in the Google Search Engine

There's all kinds of information out here about how to get top rankings in Google...

I don't pretend to be a marketing expert, but I have allies in the S.E.O. and social internet marketing industries that can help us create a game plan for further marketing your site, if you so choose.

If you're serious about S.E.O., much of this type of work might even happen even BEFORE we build your actual site -- writing it, for example, is a key place to utilize the expertise of an S.E.O. professional.

Internet marketing experts can help de-mystify things like:

How to research your keywords with examples.

How to choose keywords that will bring you massive traffic and sales. (Target the wrong keywords and all your efforts will be just a waste of time.)

Building and Optimizing your website for Google the most effective way.

Meta Tags - Yes, they are still important.

Which code to use to optimize so that Google will love your site and you will prosper in the search engines.

The best way to make your website relevant to search engines is to think like them, some companies promise to show you how.

Which techniques to implement in order to gain high rankings in Google.

The 2 Meta Tags absolutely critical to controlling Google.

Getting critical In-Bound links to your site - without reciprocal linking.

How to guarantee that Google crawls your entire site - from one page. How to keep Google from indexing sensitive information on your site.

Google Analytics and Site Maps -- an edge over your competition.

Learn how to get your site into the Open Directory Project (and potentially listed in 312 other directories from this one!)

Learn how to use "Spiderbait" - i.e. get Google to come to your site and index your pages within 4 days!

PageRank - Its affect on your rankings and how to build your site's PageRank Reciprocal Linking - Why it works and how to make it work for your site.

These are just a few examples of services I found online. Every company will treat your project a bit differently, and prices vary.

"tailor made to fit the needs and character of the client"

Mary Geitner strikes the right balance between incorporating their clients' ideas and using their own creativity and experience to
custom-make a truly unique product.

My web site reflects what I had envisioned – but thanks to Mary's imagination and attention to detail, it is more attractive and more user-friendly than I ever expected.

Mary's work really is tailor-made to fit the needs and the character of the client.

One look through her portfolio and you will see a wide array of unique designs – from traditional to modern, soft to bold, classic to a little funky. Their capabilities and talents appear to be limitless.

"Mary is a joy to work with..."

Her sensibilities are right up our alley, and she always designs and builds fun yet practical things that fit our each and every need--and on a timely schedule! What's more, she's become a friend.

We've never met face-to-face, but our constant work-related communication has given us the opportunity to also share life's peaks and valleys and develop a friendship. I always look
forward to our correspondence, deadline or no deadline!

Mary Geitner is not only a designer in the pure sense of the word, she is also a communicator. She listens and responds on a level that easily and rapidly facilitates the sometimes cumbersome web design process.

Simply put, she does a fantastic job.
