1. No offence, but why should we listen to you?  We get emails from seo companies all the time. What makes you different?

You know what?  We can relate to that question so no offence taken.  We still spend more time then we would like clearing my inbox of overseas company’s promises of dirt cheap web domination. You’re right. There are a lot of companies out there and more seem to spring up every day!  We are sick of these types of companies that promise the world but deliver very little in return. 

How are we different? Promote seo has a proven track record for both ethical and sustainable seo solutions for business.  At promote we don’t service one off client’s, we establish relationships and we invest ourselves in your online success.

2. Why does the promote seo system work?

The promote seo system works because it uses tried and tested seo strategies that have proven to return positive and repeatable results.  Over years of testing (many times through old fashion trial and error on test sites) we have identified the reliable techniques that produce higher page rankings, even in the face of ongoing formula changes made by the search engines.

These are the techniques that we use on our own high ranking, high traffic sites and we wouldn’t use them if they could damage our money sites.

3. How does your “guarantee” work?

We will review your results with you every 6 months (reports come monthly) and if you're not happy with your rankings, we will cancel your contract on the spot.

4. Why should we pay you to do this … when we can do it myself?

It’s true that seo is a skill that can be learnt by almost anyone with the desire and time to commit it.  So the question should be do you currently have the time and the desire to take the focus off your business to learn a completely new skill set?

Or, is it better management of both time and money to entrust this process to an expert with a proven track record of success, leaving you free to commit your attention to more pressing matters within your business.
Besides, by the time you learn and apply seo effectively, we could have had you on the top of the rankings for months!

5. We have had negative experiences with seo companies that promised a lot but delivered nothing.  How are you different?

We can’t deny that our industry doesn’t have its share of snake-oil salesmen. Nor can we justify all the practices carried out by some people under the title of search engine optimisation.  Honestly, these organisations make it much more difficult for reputable seo firms such as promote to establish trust with our clients.  Promote works by under promising and over delivering results to our clients through ethical and sustainable seo solutions which our track record can attest to.

6. How long before we see improvements in my rankings?

Seo is a continual and ongoing process which does take time.  Optimising your site to appear highly in the free organic listings of the search engines will not give you the immediate results of alternative efforts such as pay-per click. 

That said, the ongoing effects of seo are far more long reaching and sustainable. 

The initial impacts of seo will rely on a number of factors including the age of your website and the number of inbound links you currently have. However, google can take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks to re-index your pages after onsite seo work is completed.  Real change normally takes between 3 – 6 months of ongoing work.

It is important to remember that the effects of ongoing seo are build on themselves and will continue to improve over time.  Effective seo provides sustainable ongoing success, however it is not immediate and you should questions those that say it is.

7. I’m doing ok in the search engines now, how can this help me?

Congratulations… but unfortunately you’re one of the very few.  Modern business advertising is very competitive and the internet is no different. The truth is that most businesses that want success on the search engines will, at one stage or another, need the services of a professional seo firm. 

Unless you are currently working with a professional seo firm, promote seo will, in most cases, be able to achieve higher ranking from the search engines than those you currently have. This is because we tweak the little things that make a big difference overall.

8. Can Promote SEO help any business or is it for specific businesses?

We know it is usually inappropriate to answer a question with a question, but please indulge me for one moment. Ask yourself the following question about your business:

Do you currently have a website and provide a product or service to others? 

If you answered yes, then promote seo can help your business achieve greater success on the internet.  Regardless of the specific industry you are in, promote can help you get found for the product or service you provide.
