- One can ‘pick and choose’ from the comprehensive menu items below
- To some degree one can implement work at a slower pace
- One can also implement work at a faster pace in the beginning to get the most essential tasks completed more quickly and see and feel results of the investment much sooner.
While option 3.) is left up to the business owner and might be recommended in some cases, 1.) and 2.) are not recommended for the following reasons
- The components of a comprehensive SEO program all work together to create the most effective campaign. (Ranking in Google maps, for example, is directly affected by website SEO factors and/or contents of website blog articles, and the reverse.) Thus, while picking only one component will yield some results, those results will not be as successful as they would have been with the other components also in place and supporting it.
- SEO is difficult, highly competitive and takes time. Since we anticipate business owners wanting to begin seeing a return on their investment in a reasonable amount of time, we do not recommend working at a pace that could place the first signs of success out many, many months in the future or longer.
- On the same token, things change quickly and often in the worlds of the internet market competition, technology and search engine optimization. Some aspects of an effective strategy can become outdated before they were ever given a chance to succeed. In the reverse, however, there is often long term credit given to prominent websites that have kept up with the times.
Ultimately, our recommendations are made based on what will realistically give the business owner the most effective minimum SEO campaign.
