SEO Consulting Services

SEO is not an easy discipline to understand, let alone master. There are many suggested shortcuts that search engine consultants and optimization firms recommend to help you achieve high search engine rankings in the index-based search results. Unfortunately, many of these approaches are at best too narrow in focus, and at worst, some of the optimization techniques used can also result in your site's pages being penalized.

We offer a variety of SEO services, including web site auditing for SEO friendliness and compatibility, SEO re-designs, and long term SEO management. We also provide on-site trainings for companies with in-house SEO staff, and we are available for speaking engagements and presentations. We also provide discounted rates for non-profit organizations and offer pro-bono arrangements in certain select circumstances.

Our team can help you understand the subtleties involved in effective SEO and we can show you how to think like a search engine - and a search engine user. We move the focus away from one-shot, short-term results towards helping you develop an effective long-term SEO strategy.

SEO Design & Development

We believe that "SEO-friendly" design is best executed at the wireframe level in a new site design, or during a site re-design. We work with you to maintain identity and brand integrity while developing a website that successfully serves double duty as an organic rankings performer.

We consult with you, or with your in-house web design team, to construct new layouts, information architectures, and back-end site functionality to help produce an optimally functional, high-performing website that is both appealing to your audience, and fast, functional, and relevant to the search engines.
