Search engine optimisation is more of an art than a science. Sure, Google and the other search engines provide guidelines for webmasters but that’s as far as the advice goes.

Choosing a search engine optimisation service isn’t just about price. Choosing a local company means that you will get some local knowledge as well as the search engine expertise. There’s also the knowledge that, with a local company, you can actually meet the person who’s working to promote your business face to face. That’s a lot more difficult to do when the company is based across the ocean.

SEOMax are a Cheltenham based search engine optimisation service. We’ve been successfully promoting businesses on the internet since 1995 and we will work with you to make sure that you’re found high up in the search results when local people look for your type of business on the internet.

Optimisation is a process that works over weeks and months.

Don’t expect your site to be at the top of Google overnight – the only way that can happen is if you pay to appear in the “sponsored links” section of the results. And be very careful is someone calls you up out of the blue offering to put you in those results for a flat monthly fee, but that’s another story entirely.

With the millions of pages indexed by Google it’s just not feasible to expect your web page to hit the number one spot. For instance, at the time of writing there are 6,970 pages targeting “wedding photographer Cheltenham” and 13,400 chasing the phrase “”Cheltenham wedding photographer”.

If you do a quick search for your business and Cheltenham, you’ll see just what you’re up against.

The good news is that although that looks like a scarily high, most of your competitors won’t be doing much work to make sure that they’re listed high up in the search results.

The typical local business will put up a website, maybe get a few links pointing to it in the initial burst of enthusiasm and then leave it to sink or swim in the Google results.

All you need to do is be better than that! By regularly getting extra links pointing to your website, you’ll start to appear higher in the Google listings. All it will cost is either your time or, if you’re like most people, a small monthly fee to someone who will do all the hard work for you.

So if you want to increase the amount of business you get from the internet, take a look at out Cheltenham based search engine optimisation service and give us a call on  07967 478272 to arrange a no obligation consultation.
