Search Engine Optimization - Making your Website Visible
Achieving high Search Engine Ranking and website visibility is not a one-size fits all proposition. No two web sites are the same.
Often we are asked if the cost of our services is directly related to the number of pages in the website. Truth is that many factors, aside from the number of pages on a website, influence the cost of building search engine ranking:
- How competitive is your niche market? (selling “convertible tops ” nationally is far more competitive than selling “ford bronco soft tops ” to Ford Bronco Enthusiasts).
- Do you have static and/or dynamic pages, frames, session ids?
- How much site content (text) do you have?
Even if you have a “cookie cutter” website your Meta tags, use of graphics and current search engine ranking are unique to you. New England Online will build an affordable custom search engine optimization solution to fit your particular situation. We focus on what strategies will drive the most traffic to your site which is, after all, the ultimate objective.
Initial Search Engine Optimization services can range anywhere from less than $1,000 to over $15,000 depending on the services selected, complexity, and effort required to reach your search engine ranking goals. We require 60 to 90 days to attain maximum search engine placements. Thereafter, should you desire to retain the search engine ranking, there is a monthly maintenance fee which ususally ranges from 2% to 5% of the initial fee, unless the plan you choose has a 1 year service agreement.
