This is usually the first question clients ask us. The answer is: it depends. It depends on how much competition you have, the type of industry that you’re in, the products/services that you’re selling, what your budget is, etc.

Generally, it takes anywhere from 3-6 months once an SEO campaign is implemented to see the results within the actual search engines. However, every market is different and you could start seeing results in as little as 3 weeks.

We provide you with detailed monthly reports that will allow you to see how your website has progressed in the rankings and also how your competition is doing in relation to your own.

In order for us to provide you with services we do require our client’s to sign a contract. Why ? We want you to know that we are committed to your business and will provide only the services mentioned within a contract. Often, there are many services to be performed and using contracts allows us to outline your strategy and establish a solid campaign.

However, unlike other SEO companies, we offer different length contracts according to your budget and our packages. Our contracts range from 3 months up to 9 months and are easily terminated if you find our services anything less than satisfactory.

Before any work begins, we will sit down with you and explain the terms of the contract in detail being sure to discuss services and payment schedules so you know exactly what to expect over the duration of your campaign.

When you sign up for one of our SEO packages, you automatically get 8 hours of consulting time with us a month.

We provide consulting in 3 different ways:

1. Via face-to-face meetings

2. Telephone consulting

3. Video Conferencing via Skype (you can add us on Skype here)

Consulting services are provided during normal business hours ONLY.

Organic search terms are non-paid keywords and phrases that are obtained through keyword research and competitive analysis.

Unlike PPC (Pay Per Click) SEO campaigns that require you to set a daily budget to spend on certain keywords and phrases, we only use organic search terms to save you the most money, maximizing your return on investment.

In SEO there are no guarantees and any SEO company that promises you a top ranking – RUN FROM!

The truth is, where you rank is highly dependent on what your competition is doing. Remember that they’re trying to outrank you too and are using their SEO efforts to beat yours. This constant battle for the top position means that your rankings might fluctuate sometimes, but by continuing to utilize our SEO services you’ll continue to rank on the first page.

WEB Ladder Consulting is a completely white-hat operation and we stand behind our efforts to produce products that strictly abide by the guidelines of search engines.

There are many other SEO companies out there that will promise you the moon and the stars in return for a hefty payment. Please be warned that these companies cannot accomplish a top 10 ranking within a week and you will never see the results they assured you would see. These companies utilize “black-hat” tactics which directly violate the terms of service for search engines and will result in severe consequences.

Be sure to read our Code of Ethics to understand that values that we hold within WEB Ladder Consulting.

Search Engine Optimization begins with pinpointing the goals you wish to accomplish. You can expect to meet with us via telephone, video chat, or face-to-face consultations to discuss your business in-depth so that we can get a full understanding of what you do.

From there, we will decide what services you need and then build a customized package that falls within your budget and time frame.

Once we’ve agreed on a package, we will run your website through a battery of tests that will help us determine the best place to start optimizing your website and then implement our strategies. This is referred to as the “Research and Planning” phase of your campaign. For a detailed explanation of our SEO process, please read our Search Engine Optimization services page.

The answer to this question is really up to you.

While you’re website may rank in a top position during the course of your SEO campaign it takes ongoing effort to maintain those rankings. Once we’ve come to the end of a contract agreement, if you’re happy with your results and don’t feel you need ongoing SEO then that is fine. However, be aware that without the efforts to keep your website ranking in a particular position your competition may take over your spot. If you wish to continue using our SEO services a new contract will be signed.

Yes, we can.

While there are many different platforms out there to use at Content Management Systems (CMS) we use WordPress to construct our websites.

Yes, we do.
