No. It's hard work -- plain and simple.
SEO is nothing more than hypotheses and conclusions based on trial and error. The problem is, you need a good Search Engine Optimization and Marketing Professional to make sense of it all.

SEO Overview
Search Engine Optimization and Search Engine Marketing is becoming more known to consumers and business people as SEO. It always amazes me when I ask consumers, business people, friends, or family using search engines like Google, Yahoo & Bing-Formerly Live/MSN about result pages and how many don't even know what SEO is, but understand when they are clicking on the paid vs. unpaid (organic) results. Fortuantely and unfortuantely, it is up to a good SEO to make sense of it all and drive sales to your business in whatever market you are in.
Why is being #1 or being on the first page important? Check out the Google heat map to the right. This map shows the Click Through Ratio of 100 users. So, in lamens terms, you want to be on the first page!
Through years of website marketing, development & many many mistakes, we have aquired knowledge of the SEO process to build your website in the organic search engine results. It is a process and if you are willing to put in the necessary time, it WILL pay off for you.
Did you know users are 85% more likely to click on a Organic result (free) versus Paid placement? So with that said... SEO's are becoming more popular since most users quit looking at Search Engine Result Pages (SERP's) after the first 2 pages.
The SEO solutions we offer to your business should do 3 things for your website:
- Generate revenue
- Professional online presence
- Targeted traffic & lead generation
If you are a pheasant hunting lodge, outfitter or guide and run a hunting website, SEO should bring in that big group if that is what you are looking for. This group below came from a internet search! We know, because we hunted with them... That's us in the bottom row 2nd and 3rd from the left... don't forget Justin in the back row 2 from the left.
So, if you don't adapt to the Search Engine game, you are unfortunately losing business.
SEO Example & Testimonial
People ask us all the time, let me see some examples of websites you have optimzed for. Here is 1 example of how we have helped one of our customers climb the rankings for a major keyword as well as a variety of others. Bear in mind that the below keyword has intense competition and it currently fluctuates in the top 5 depending on times since Google has over 10+ different servers and results sets.

"Currently, my website comes up on the 1st page for the #1 search term (Google "South Dakota pheasant hunting") for the pheasant hunting industry in the state of South Dakota. And that’s for ALL outfitters in the state of South Dakota. On top of that, in the last month alone, I got 4,155 visits from 1,722 UNIQUE keyword searches for an average of over 4 minutes each (industry average is 90 seconds) on the site with 70% of those uniquely new visitors. These guys are honest, fair and know what they are talking about."

Our Thoughts on SEO's and SEO Service as a whole
SEO's are becoming more in demand as competition is becoming more and more fierce. A good SEO is very difficult to find since most work for themselves and own their own websites or have a stake in other businesses. So in todays market, good SEO's are hard to find... and SEO's that solicit you are probably not very good as a rule of thumb. Good SEO's don't need to call on business... business's will call SEO's since we are here to help grow your business.

What does SEO cost?
Hourly labor.
SEO is a process and can be very involved on a monthly/quarterly basis to maintain consistent rankings. You should think of SEO on a monthly or quarterly budget as another form of advertising: Newspaper, magazine, radio, internet advertising, etc.
We can work with you on a fixed budget and we can start small and grow larger as sales and business increases for you.
