Don't increase your marketing budget!!

2010-04-20T22:39:00.006-04:00

Don't Increase Your Marketing Budget!! VERTX SEO service will get you more qualified leads and sales year over year -- without increasing your marketing budget!

How would you like to see your website traffic increase with QUALIFIED LEADS year over year by as much as 132% from Google and specific keyword increase by 613% without any increase in your online marketing and advertising budget?

Above screen shot of Google Analytics --- compares one of our client data for Q1, 2009 against Q1, 2010 --- there was no increase in budget and all of the results are from Organic Search Engine Optimization (SEO) services from VERTX SEO. Study the charts carefully and closely, you will find that the 2010 visits are dramatically greater than the same period during the prior year.

Imagine what happened to Google AdWords PPC costs during the same period for most customers using only PPC. Google AdWords PPC cost increased by 33% from 2009 to 2010 and it will continue to increase over the next several decades due to increased competition for page 1 position.

VERTX SEO not only support a clients need for organic search engine optimization (SEO) services but also provided managed Google AdWords PPC because both services works hand-in-hand. We recommend a blend of both services to get the maximum exposure for keywords which are critical to our clients success.

How do you hire a good SEO and PPC services company?

2010-03-30T23:26:00.005-04:00

How do you hire a good SEO and PPC services company?

Do you look at the website of the firm? Do you look at the people? Do you look at the proposal? Do you look for certifications? What really do you need to know so that you can hire the right SEO & PPC marketing services company?

Well how about results? Not past results!! No not even future potential results!! Present results. Results which we can provide in clear terms not for 1 client but for different clients. What type of results does want need to see?

Well how about Google Page 1, Position 1 for our Clients?

Google Search: "large tree removal" on 03/30/2010 - our client's website is listed on page 1 position 1 on Organic Search Google out of 2,710,000 search terms. Additionally, we placed our client in position 2 on Google AdWords PPC sponsored ads on the right side of the page. Increasing our clients odds of getting leads by 2 to 1 compared to their competition.

Don't take our word for it...go ahead and run a search and see if you can find : www.RainTreeTreeServices.com --- they trusted us to take them to the top and we have delivered within 5+ months.

How about an even more competitive keyword phrase: "new remodeling" --- out of 20MM search --- position # 2 on page 1 of Google right below Amazon. Do you believe our client: www.PreferredBuildersofTexas.com might be getting leads and sales? We know they are because in 6+ months, they have tripled their marketing dollars with managed by VERTX SEO.

Maybe this is not enough to convince you that you have found the right company to work with, how about doing a search on Google: "replacement a/c" --- 43.9MM search terms -- my client is on page 1 of Google 2nd position on page 1 of Google -- organic search area. VERTX SEO client: www.TomsQualityComfort.com -- client for app. 5+ months.

Do you think just maybe we know what we are doing. Some how I am not confident that we have really convinced you that we are the right SEO & PPC firm to handle your online marketing needs --- not sure why, maybe because we are too busy helping our clients and we have not had the time to spend on our own website. That's OK, allow us to share with you our next client -- a mortgage company. I am sure you will agree that mortgage company ranking is very tough -- because many of them around.

Search Google for the following keyword phrases:

"Houston TX Mortgage"
"Mortgage Refinancing Houston"
"Spring Mortgage"
"The Woodlands Mortgage" --- try this one in any combinations

You should see that all 4 keyword phrases are on page 1 of Google and they should be on the top page listings between 1 - 5 positions. Ok, we are really not that good, because this client has 1 other keyword phrase which we are ranking and its on page 2 -- "home mortgage Houston". Check back with us in a month, I am relatively confident that we will have this keyword on page 1 along with the rest. www.KGcm.com has been our client for app. 6+ months.

Most of our client leverage us to help them get into the Organic Search Engine side and we always recommend leveraging Pay-Per-Click Sponsored Ads -- typically with Google AdWords. The combination when done correctly can deliver amazing leads and sales for VERTX SEO clients.

Give VERTX SEO a call or email us, you will find our SEO and PPC managed services affordable and results consistent with our communications.

Google AdWords - Ads Ranked - VERTX SEO

2010-03-26T15:45:00.003-04:00

Google AdWords PPC -- VERTX SEO

Here is my issue --- we have a client who has personally managed Google AdWords PPC for 6 years and they have built up a business which delivered him 7 figure earnings. He is young, good looking, smart, dynamic, kool, really someone who I think we could have a long-term cross vendor/partner relationship with. However, he has a very specific style regarding the need to present a very professional image on the web and overall. This too we agree with and align with the branding and PR company.

Here is where we are not on the same page. He has over the years cast a wide net to capture unlimited number of clicks and recently he has found that others are crowding his space at the top of Google AdWords PPC sponsored ads. Furthermore, his cousin who he advised to come into the business has decided to open his own Company and compete with our client.

He hired us to do this job of managing SEO + PPC but really mostly SEO. Through out the process, he has second guessed our recommendations. Our PPC click through rate (CTR) for the campaigns we designed averaged 2% to 3% --- this is very high. Average position was 1.2 to 1.5 again very high. The volume on the campaigns were lower than what he is used to because it was targeted, i.e. he is in commercial property tax reduction space, so if the person was reading his add and saw that it was commercial and the consumer is residential --- we do not want the residential consumer to click and cost my client money. Then the style of the campaign is not professional -- we tend to leverage old proven marketing strategies of using "messages to make the reader stop and read the ads" --- this is like the old classified ads --- if you took a course in marketing 101 -- they teach you how to write these eye catching ads.

Then there is the cost -- the click through rate was $3.29/click at position 1 or 2 --- vs. high volume, not qualified, at average of $1/click. I am more about quality than the cost, I guess.

In any case, I told my client that we will shut down the ads which we designed and continue to leverage what he likes --- the CUSTOMER IS ALWAY'S RIGHT!!!!

Then I proceeded to find out what Google states so that I can educate my client --- I figured it would help my Blog readers to see this as well, so I posted it below.

At VERTX SEO its all about getting a good ROI, we know from experience that if you are not on page 1 of Google, Yahoo & Bing at the TOP of the PAGE --- you are loosing out on key clients. Therefore, be it sponsored ads or organic search --- we like to get our client all the way to the top of the keyword being searched.

Well, read on and I hope this information will help you get the leads and sales you need. Google AdWords PPC is part of VERTX SEO managed services for our clients. If we can help you, please touch base with us.

Ad Rank = CPC bid × Quality Score

===== FROM GOOGLE AdWords PPC Help Files =========

How are ads ranked?

Ads are positioned on search and content pages based on their Ad Rank. The ad with the highest Ad Rank appears in the first position, and so on down the page.

Ad Rank formulas

The criteria determining Ad Rank differ for your keyword-targeted ads depending on whether they're appearing on Google and the search network or on the content network. There's also a third set of criteria determining whether a placement-targeted ad will show on a given content page. Click the links below to see the Ad Rank formula for each scenario.

Keyword-targeted ads on Google and on search partners

A keyword-targeted ad is ranked on a search result page based on the matched keyword's maximum cost-per-click (CPC) bid and Quality Score. Note that some search partners have a different page layout than Google.

Ad Rank = CPC bid × Quality Score

The Quality Score for Ad Rank on Google and search partners is determined by:

The historical clickthrough rate (CTR) of the keyword and the matched ad on the site. For Google, only historical performance on Google is considered. For search partners, performance on the specific search partner is used, along with how the ad performs across the search network.
Your account history, which is measured by the CTR of all the ads and keywords in your account
The historical CTR of the display URLs in the ad group
The relevance of the keyword to the ads in its ad group
The relevance of the keyword and the matched ad to the search query
Your account's performance in the geographical region where the ad will be shown
Other relevance factors

Search results page continues to get complex. It used to be that you could get on page 1 of Google, Yahoo and Bing anywhere on page 1 and you would find that your website gets a nice amount of clicks and your phones & emails would be filled with leads.

This is no longer the case, now even if you are on page 1 on Google on the top of Google AdWords PPC top 3 spots or in the organic section of page 1 of Google or in Google Maps --- you will find that the total volume of clicks has fallen and the qualified leads coming from these channels are increasingly costly and results / ROI vary.

So, what can one do about this? At VERTX SEO we advise our clients to look at each keyword phrase as a group and to dominate the keyword phrase. What does this mean?

VERTX SEO example would be this client: www.RainTreeTreeServices.com : "tree removal estimate" --- page 1 ranking in the organic section and we have an ad running on Google AdWords for this keyword and we will rank them in Google Maps for the exact keyword phrase.

Therefore, while other websites are listed on this page 1 time, our client will be listed 3 times, thus the probability of getting click and the impressions increase by a factor of 3. This increases the probability of click through rate for this client -- thus increases traffic site visit of QUALIFIED LEADS --- converting them into leads and sales for our client.

Today its mission critical to leverage Google AdWords (PPC) AND Organic Search Engine Optimization AND Google Maps to derive site traffic. SEO Houston is where we are located and we are focused on deliver leads and sales for our clients through the latest technology, smarts and hard work.

$499.99 for 5 keywords --- Local Search for Greater Houston Area

2010-01-18T22:28:00.006-05:00

Do you believe charging $499.99/month for Local SEO Services for 5 keywords to be ranked on page 1 of Google, Yahoo & Bing too expensive for small / mid size businesses to market their website online?

Lets break this down for you -- $499.99/month for 5 keywords / 30 days in a month = $3.33/day.

Lets look at this in a different way --- lets say you sell a product or service. If we generated say 10 visitors to your website and you received 1 sale from this --- do you think you can make $3.33 in profit from this 1 customer to pay for our services? What if I told you we are so confident that we can deliver --- we will hand you a written guarantee? SEO services when done right and done by professionals like us with expert SEO team members, the results are astounding. What amazes us is that how often business owners don't spend the time to educate themselves on SEO experts and how they can impact the marketing budget from exploding.

Recently, we were at a meeting where the Client is spending $48K - $60K per month in Google AdWords --- that is app. $710K spent on Ads --- we believe we can save them app. 30% in Google Ads spent and continue to increase sales through SEO services. Do you think SEO would be important to you if we can save you 30% in cost and at the same time increase your sales through organic search traffic to your website?

Well if this will not make you take action to hire SEO services from us --- what if I told you that from 2008 to 2009 keyword costs at Google jumped 33%. Did you sales jump by 33% last year? I know we are biased by we believe we have a very competitive SEO service plan for Local SEO, Regional SEO, State SEO, National SEO, Global SEO and Localized SEO Services. We are a full service online and off-line marketing & communications firm using the latest technology to deliver SEO results.

Many customers feel that way until we break it down for them in the following way: If you invested $3.33 /day to promote your website and we could generate 10 to 14 sales for you per month at an average sales volume of $15K to $25K --- would the cost be justified? Our client www.PreferredBuildersofTexas.com --- would actually need 1 customer per month to make back all of marketing cost.

What if I told you that it would cost Preferred Builders of Texas app. $3,448/month to attract 1% click through on Google AdWords for the 5 keywords we selected. However, the SEO plan would generated much more than 1% click through once all of the keywords are on page 1.

Here is the analysis below --- run the report for yourself and see if you come to the same conclusion? I would trade $499.99 for $3,448/month any day -- guess what 1 sale generating $15K to $25K in gross sales --- these numbers are really, cheap!!

Here is the catch --- we will guarantee page 1 ranking or no billing until we get you there....check out the attached images and run the keywords report --- you can see for yourself the keywords we are working on is moving up to page 1 of Google, Yahoo and Bing for our client. We are expert SEO company --- sure its a time game but imagine how secure our client will be when they are on top of the hill for "Texas Builder", "Texas Custom Builder" and more...do you think the competition will be able to take over? As long as Preferred Builders of Texas is using us --- we will make sure we keep them on top and continue to help them

get leads and sales from our efforts.

Again, for about the cost of a cup of coffee - $3.33/day --- we market and promote our clients website on the web. Sure we do Google AdWords, Microsoft adExcellence & Yahoo Search Marketing --- for Pay-Per-Click ad management. However, we also focus on Google Maps Local Search Marketing and Search Engine Optimization (SEO). Google SEO experts is what we are good at and we deliver results consistently!!!

Call or email us --- it costs nothing to get our advise and support --- but choosing the wrong company and wrong website content can cost you much more.

Search Engine Optimization designed Websites

2010-01-09T20:22:00.002-05:00

Did a search on Google with the following question: "Does google recommend seo" and pop came this following link:

http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=35291

From the Google website: SEO is an acronym for "search engine optimization" or "search engine optimizer." Deciding to hire an SEO is a big decision that can potentially improve your site and save time...

WOW!!! Now do you think that its in Google best interest to have companies like ours promote our clients websites with credible links and content and help Google index websites better? Why would Google Search want this? Could it be that through Search Engine Optimization (SEO) work --- they can better assess the type of clients we are promoting and the quality of search results in specific keywords are better than if we SEO companies did not exist?

Think of Google as the Host and SEO companies as Parasites --- ok!! LOL :) might not be a great comparison but the Google, Yahoo and Bing Search Engines needs the Parasites -- like VERTX Search Engine Optimization to help identify what our clients are all about and what they stand for and what products and services they represent.

Unlike many SEO Companies --- we do not hide Google Webmaster recommendation and I wish more people including website designers read this information before they sell Website Design to their Clients.

WHY?

Well simply put --- if you followed the Google, Yahoo & Bing website design guidelines exactly as they specified, the website would be designed with the ability for the Search Crawlers to crawl the information more efficient --- so it would be easier for search engines to index the website, so that the keywords are grouped into searchable content.

In simple terms, your are spelling out what you do as a business so that when someone is looking for your product or service, Google, Yahoo and Bing will do what they do best, show the best website which meets the requirements of the keyword searched.

Here is the most important concept to understand --- lets say you did everything exactly as Google, Yahoo and Bing website design guidelines and so did 10 of your competitors --- which one of you should be presented in position # 1, # 2, ... # 10? on page 1 and so on?

This is really simple --- the website who has the most outside links, the longest domain registry, the best content, the longer the traffic stays on the website, the more referral websites there, etc... ok you get the point....I am describing online marketing tasks --- that is what we do. We are your single source of online marketing, website marketing, content writing, Search Engine Optimization (SEO) team, Social Media Marketing (SMM), Search Engine Marketing (SEM) --- another word for Pay-Per-Click Advertisement management.

This brings me to the most important topic --- why you need to re-think how you hire Website Design Teams to Build your most important marketing and communication materials today.

Most website designers are not trained Search Engine Optimization (SEO) gurus and most Search Engine Optimization (SEO) gurus are not good Website Visual / Marketing staff. So, that brings a big problem in our industry --- which we are focused on solving --- what if we can get SEO and SEM --- Google Certified teams to also be Graphics and Marketing skilled resources.

This way, the websites can be On Site Optimized as soon as we publish the content and all other content such as articles, press releases, supporting sub-domain website content, video content, graphics can be all tied to a consistent message aligned with keywords supported to attract maximum amount of organic search traffic which is FREE from Google, Yahoo & Bing.

The funny thing is if you read the Google webmaster content --- they too recommend the same. We design and build all of our websites with Organic Search Traffic in mind. Does this cost a bit more, yes but far less than if you do not build them SEO Certified Websites. Look you have a website because of your business -- because you are selling something --- 1 customer could potentially pay for your entire website build out. This is by far the most important part of your sales cycle and this is an area where you should not skimp.

I hope this information helps you think about what you need to do to achieve a competitive advantage on the web. If your site is not on page 1 of Google, Yahoo and Bing --- then you simply do not exist on the web, since most customers will not search beyond page 1 or 2.

Call or email us --- it costs nothing to get our advise and support --- but choosing the wrong company and wrong website content can cost you much more.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) - Onsite Optimization

2010-01-04T13:08:00.004-05:00

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) - Onsite Optimization

Google Search: "Optimization in Houston"

What is Onsite Optimization?

This is a mission critical task which is directly in the Clients (or Website Designers) control. Every website should continuously conduct onsite Optimization. Let's explain this in the most simplistic terms possible: Machines do not Understand English Communications --- they do not understand feelings, thought, touch, smell and they can not see. While all of these senses help us (humans) to communicate and assimilate information --- Google, Yahoo & Bing -- which use computer servers to craw and look at the information we present in websites does not have such abilities.

I am sure while growing up you have heard the statement "don't spoon feed your kids or they will never learn" --- at least this was a phrase I heard while attending St. Mary's Catholic High School run by nuns before getting waked on the wrist with a ruler if I got the answer wrong ... LOL :)

In any case, we are in the age where if you want to be ranked on page 1 of Google, Yahoo & Bing (which makes up 92% of search Internet traffic) -- you will want to spoon feed the search engines.

How do you do this is the question? Its very simple, figure out the keywords which has the most significant amount of traffic (consumers searching for the terms) and then figure out the one(s) you will want to dominate. Its very important that you understand that you can not dominate all keywords, its not practical and really not possible. Focus, focus, focus your keywords and your site content around the topic which really communicate who, what, how and why you are on the web. Become the master communicator in the subject matter which you have selected your business area and then focus all of the Onsite Optimization (which means Website Communications) to deliver the message.

One of the most important things you need to do is make sure your Headers (H1 Tag) has the exact keyword(s) you are presenting in the website content. Additionally, you will want your Title Tags, Web Page File Name and Meta Tags all aligned with the same keyword(s).

All of this information together with ongoing content writing around this subject matter (keywords) helps Google, Yahoo & Bing understand that you are passionate about the topic and helps to present your content to people searching for exactly that.

Key points to remember while one is completing Onsite Optimization on their business website is do not try to over optimize on the keywords by over repeating the keyword too many times. It needs to be natural, communicative and informative. Also, I am only sharing with you a small amount of information regarding keyword optimization, there is a lot more optimization per page which needs to take effect before you can expect to have significant ranking improvement.

Additionally, do not expect to be on page 1 of Google, Yahoo and Bing with just Onsite Optimization, you must do Offsite Optimization as part of an ongoing process so that you are constantly seen as the leader in the topic your website is designed for.

Maybe I have confused you or helped you with some more details regarding this Onsite Optimization, give us a call or email us for more information.

PPC AdWords Monthly Budget of $55K or leverage Organic Search?

2009-12-23T12:16:00.004-05:00

Would you spend $55K/month on Google AdWords --- PPC for 5 keywords to be on page 1; on top of the page where the sponsored ads are? If you are a $12 million international collections agency like www.GGRinc.com then you might consider it.

There are significant benefits to Google AdWords - Pay-Per-Click (PPC) advertisement over traditional media. First, its measurable so that you can see a return on investment quickly. Sure like all advertisement, it can be costly if the Ads are not designed correctly, if the website is not designed to convert browsers into leads. However, if at $55K/month in Ads budget, the Company would need to generate app. $5MM in business for them to justify this. Additionally, the Company would need to run this program for several months before they can decide if it works for them or not. Could potentially be risky.

Or you can look towards Organic Search Engine Optimization (SEO) --- where the cost are less than 1% of PPC budget per month and within 3 to 6 months --- page 1 ranking is likely. As with the example below GGRinc.com used to be on page 1 for many of the keywords and then as more competition came up for the keywords, many of the keywords dropped to page 2. However, within some modifications to the website content and additional focused resources, GGRinc.com will be placed back on page 1 within 2 months or so.

Keyword	Google	Yahoo!	MSN (Bing)	Estimated Avg. CPC Google AdWords	Volume of Search in Nov. 2009
collection agency	Rank:41	Rank:64	Rank:85	$4.89	301,000
debt recovery	Rank:8	No Placement	Rank:15	$7.59	135,000
debt collection agency	No Placement	Rank:159	Rank:9	$8.52	22,200
debt collections	No Placement	No Placement	Rank:44	$4.96	27,100
international collection	Rank:5	No Placement	Rank:8	$1.69	90,500
commercial collection agency	Rank:19	Rank:4	Rank:6	$6.66	3,600
			Avg.	$5.72	96,567

			Potential PPC Budget	$ 55,220.04	9,657	Potential 10% Click through to website
					97	Potential Leads from website 1%

In the above example you will notice several key items. Cost of the PPC is directly from Google. What we have not included in this cost analysis is the PPC cost for Yahoo & Bing. When you add all 3 search engine Ads --- the monthly PPC budget would like have to be some where between $55K - $65K.

Also, note that PPC costs are risking every year -- year to year comparison 2008 to 2009 -- Google AdWords cost has jumped 37%. Its predicted that as more companies move their marketing budget from traditional media to online, these rates will continue to increase. So, what does this mean for Companies seeking to keep a steady flow of leads coming --- get to page 1 on Google, Yahoo and Bing and do whats required to stay on page 1.

Organic Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is like fighting a battle not a war. You want to be on high ground and control the hill or mountain where your base is located. Once you control the hill or mountain -- you have a competitive advantage because Google, Yahoo and Bing agreed with you that you are the domain expert and when people search for your business with the keywords you operate --- you are brought up as the leads in the space. Making you happy, the person searching happy and Google, Yahoo and Bing happy, because the ads are worth more money around the organic search results.

Business owners continue to ask me how / what we do to get keywords ranked for Search Engine Optimization and getting our clients to page 1? Here is the truth behind our efforts: "Its not rocket science" --- you can do it yourself. The issue continue to be time and money.

If you are a business owner of your business, you can promote your business online and off-line today --- you do not need to use a PR Company, you do not need to use News Paper (Print Ads), you do not need to send out Mailers, you do not need to Telesale, you do not need to place online Ads, you do not need to use SEO Company, you can go out and promote your business anyway you want --- HOWEVER, many successful Companies choose to leverage all types of tools and services so they can focus on core business.

What we do to generate organic Search Engine Optimization results is we have lists of directory locations, submission tools, content writers, specialized techniques for optimization, social media posting, web 2.0 posting, link building, bi-directional link building, referral networks, and traditional marketing channels for PR distribution to deliver page 1 ranking --- in a nutshell, its a lot of work to promote your business to page 1 of Google, Yahoo and Bing --- for a flat rate budget.

In any case, Happy Holidays to all -- we are looking forward to 2010 --- so that we can help more clients like you to generate more leads and sales from the web and from other channels.

Please contact us as you need to and look for GGRinc.com to be on page 1 of Google, Yahoo and Bing very soon.

Why our SEO Competitors posting comments on my blog?

2009-12-15T12:14:00.005-05:00

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) space is extremely competitive. Why? Well mostly because there is money to be made in this industry, its an area which can be outsourced, so you have millions of Indian's (Asians) looking for work. Unlike other fields where you can measure performance fast --- these guys tend to milk the system and try everything before making the Customer frustrated with little or no results to show for the money spent.

Customer is always unhappy -- because the results are not measured and often the client is not sure what they are buying. If you don't understand what your are buying -- DON'T BUY SEO Services!!

The Clients end up not wanting to venture down the SEO space, which clearly is great for Google, Yahoo & Bing because they are selling Ads. More competition for the ads more expensive the keywords become and more money the search industry makes. Look the Yellow Pages are dead or soon to die...like AOL.com they will exist in some form but never be the power house they used to be.

Anyone with some business sense the business own can see that the long-term ROI on SEO done right vs. PPC is very significant. VERTX Sales Engine Optimization (SEO) we deliver our client to page 1 of Google, Yahoo and Bing, often they are paying as little as $0.01 or less per click ---

compared to $4/click on PPC. Which would you rather pay? We are not endorsing SEO vs. PPC because we believe that both types of marketing is important. However, ROI on SEO services can deliver results at a fixed marketing cost as opposed to PPC which continues to go up in price.

Well what we are here to discuss is why other SEO companies continue to post on my blog? Could it be that we are being found by our clients? Could it be we are guaranteed page 1 for our clients? Could it be we are doing all the right things and communicating / teaching clients how to shop for the best SEO services on the market? Like all of the above...

What really gets me going is when other SEO companies posts comments on my Blog, expecting me to post them. Competition is healthy but come on!!

Why on Earth would I want to post my SEO Competitor Comments on my Blog with links to their websites? Come on why are you wasting my time and yours? This is why your Customers are not on page 1 of Google, Yahoo and Bing. You are posting links on WRONG locations.

If you are in the SEO space, if you want to partner with us as a White Label our services or you are a web designer and wants to expand your offering --- please contact us via Phone or Email. We are always open to such activities.

If you are a potential Client, you can be sure, we will provide you with sufficient details for you to be sure you are working with the most credible and ethical Search Engine Optimization (SEO) company. We will run Google AdWords report and run an ROI for SEO services for leads and sales from the web prior to you signing up with us. This will allow you to properly assess the best course of action for your marketing --- leads and sales delivery system.

Pay for Performance --- potential client comments

2009-12-07T18:52:00.002-05:00

How would you like to get a call from a client who say -- give me your service and then i will pay you if I see you perform. Sure we have a written guarantee which ensure the keywords we select together we can get them ranked on page 1 of Google, Yahoo & Bing within 3 to 6 months --- so at the minimum our clients will see 1/10 of all clicks from this page.

If for any reason we can not get the keywords ranked on page 1 of Google, Yahoo & Bing --- we will continue to work towards getting all of them ranked before we invoice the client again. This is pay for performance!!

This potential client wants us to work for basically FREE --- until we get them ranking. We do not know the financial standing of this client. We do not know them from some other joker --- and what's funny is we gave them an amazing deal --- 25 keywords (5 keywords ranked per USA City) for a flat rate.

In any case, when I got the email from them that they do not want to prepay for services, I was so mad with even the suggestion --- I decided its best I did not respond. Additionally, the classic part of this is this USA business hired a guy out of India who is supposed to be a partner (I guess) yet he has no clue about Search Engine Optimization (SEO), Search Engine Marketing (SEM), Social Media Marketing (SMM) --- these are specialized fields which required expertise, hands on experience and can not be done by one employee.

In any case, we do have a pay for performance deals --- as I have coined with several companies who are part of my inside alliance private network of partners --- here is a website: www.MyWholeSellers.com and www.AllFundingOptions.com where I have strategic partners. As with all such alliances, each partner takes on risks --- and the rewards are just as great. The terms of our arrangements are private for these ventures.

In any case, its unfortunate that the national client did not see the over all value, they will likely try several small firms and spend money in a variety of areas and see little or no results before my hunch is they will fold the operations. Maybe I am wrong and by me not responding they will come back to the table and play with players who can get them to the top.

In any case, that has been the story today. Other than that we had a great meeting with a major Houston Builder --- he is an EO member and we should be able to engage with them very soon.

When to use PPC vs. SEO?

2009-11-23T01:47:00.002-05:00

VERTX Sales Engine Optimization is the art of website design with Search Engine Marketing (PPC) and Search Engine Optimization (SEO). The crazy thing is SEO companies are springing up all over the place. 1 man shops to teams of so called experts.

The challenge with PPC is that anyone with a desire to build a business can within hours setup a website and spend money on Google AdWords and start to attract business. The issue is there is no sure thing with PPC --- so one could blow all of the budget and get nothing in return. I guess this is true for all types of advertisement. I have spent tones of money on radio ads, print ads and call center reps --- only to figure out that the campaigns will not work. Therefore, PPC --- AdWords can give you results but with so much competition --- its hard for even a company like ours to justify spending more than a small budget on it.

The key is to leverage the Google AdWords --- even if its a small amount of money because at the end of the day, this process does work. Like with all things, patients, skills, focus and drive wins the day --- so we need to optimize our site so that it will rank well and deliver sales.

We are ranked ---"Sales Engine" page 1. However, our team has to work double time to get all of the other keywords I gave them to get us on page 1.

You know you can hire the right guys when we put our own resource in SEO to work for our site.

www.VertxSystems.com

Content Relevance -- does it matter?

2009-11-17T10:57:00.005-05:00

The best way to think about Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and ranking is to think about the way we would hire someone. I am sure as manager of most businesses we had to hire and fire staff at some point in our career. Take a moment to reflect on how you go about selecting the right candidate for the job?

Do you simply look at someones resume and experience and hire them? Likely not! Most hiring managers select a small set of results from a stack of resumes. We look at the experience from the resume before making a decision to invite a handful of candidates to come meet with us.

During the interview process we are checking out experience, feel for how they might work in organization and if there is chemistry or feel for the right fit or should I say "is the candidate reflecting the correct content relevance?"

Typically, if the personality and experience fit the job description and the references check out --- as hiring managers, we extend a job offer to hire the candidate.

Search Engine Optimization is very similar and ranking on Google, Yahoo & Bing works in a similar manner. Search engines over years has designed complex yet effective algorithms to figure out if the website content is relevant to the person entering the search keywords and in what order of preference (relevance) should different websites be presented to the consumer.

Sales Engine Optimization is designed to figure out for our clients what keywords and how to write the content in the website so that the content is relevant to search engines. We design sites with maximum opportunities to get them ranked on page 1 of Google, Yahoo & MSN quickly and consistently because if you are not found on search page 1 --- frankly speaking your business does not exist on the web.

There are many things we take into consideration to include in the content --- we research keywords, figure out how to write the content and how to place content in Header tags, Meta tags, and layer the information through out the website for maximum organic search rankings.

Yes, "Content Relevance" is critical part of Sale Engine Optimization (SEO).

The Sales Boost Campaign

2009-11-15T13:59:00.002-05:00

After several weeks of deliberation I have finally come to the conclusion that we need to move forward aggressively with "The Boost" campaign. This is an exciting campaign where we should be able to promote and differentiate our capabilities from many other Search Engine Optimization service providers.

Over the next few months we will work on posting a significant amount of content regarding our marketing and promotions of the SEO services using "The Boost" campaign.

Here is a sample of what will be coming --- at the minimum it will be entertaining...

Results is what we are after and we should be able to demonstrate both our performance on the web and our clients.

www.VertxSystems.com

Do you know how many leads you need?

2009-11-13T20:04:00.002-05:00

It amazes me that so many customers of ours when we engage them, they have no clue on how much sales they need to generate. This is often surprising because most Companies can not support unlimited customer acquisition.

Example: a resturant can only seat so many people at a time and hope for a good turn-over rate so that they can turn the tables fast enough during rush hours.

Example: HVAC service company can only support so much business in a day before they are maxed out.

In any case, this is a very important thought prior to deciding how to go about marketing and where to spend the money. Lets say a flooring company needs to generate 10 more sales per month --- does not matter what that might be.

We have to work backwards from this number, we need to then figure out what the historical close ratio for this business is. Lets say its 50% -- that means we need to generate a minimum of 20 leads per month to get 10 sales.

However, we know that if the lead does not walk through the showroom, then the lead will not materalize. So, based on further analysis, its clear we need to get almost 100 leads where only 20 will walk through the showroom and 10 will lead to sales.

Now we are getting closer to figuring out what needs to be done. So we can explore Google AdWords or other Search Engine Marketing (SEM) options but we find out that the Client has a real issue with marketing budget and they need a flat budget but yet continue to see at least 10 sales per month.

This is when we go to work, we figure out from researching the keywords. Which keywords will take the least amount of time to rank on Google, Yahoo & MSN on page 1 and allow us to maintain these keywords ranking on page 1. Why because at least 10% of the traffic for the selected keywords are clicks and we figure out the click through rate to leads to make sure our Clients get the maximum leads, sales and profits from our efforts.

When all of this work is done RIGHT, then the Client is happy and often wants to add more keywords. The best part about SEO services is the marketing costs stay flat and when the keywords are ranked on page 1 of Google, Yahoo and MSN -- staying on top bring in leads and sales for our Clients month-after-month.

Give us a call so we can show you exactly how this works --- www.VertxSystems.com

Can you get me on Page 1 of Google then I will pay you for SEO service

2009-11-10T11:22:00.003-05:00

Yesterday I visited with a potential client for the 2nd time. They spend $8K for marketing all year and mostly focus on Air Conditioning & Heating Services. So clearly they are struggling with the decision to buy another service like Search Engine Marketing (SEM) / Search Engine Optimization (SEO) @ a monthly rate of $499.99 for local.

So, I told them to try our services and pay us when we get them to page 1 of Google -- for 5 keywords. Further more, their website needs complete re-work and its burning them up that its not completed well. I told them we would do the design and content port and we will do it on site, locally so that they can see what's going on. To make things even better --- we told them they do not have to pay us unless they are delighted with the website design and SEO services.

I am not sure what else I can do to earn someone's business? There is ZERO risk and you would think this owner would jump on board...there is no catch and its all performance based agreement.

They told me to connect with them this Thu. to get a decision to proceed or not.

Tell me what you think --- no risk, performance based services for Google Search Engine Optimization (SEO) --- this way the customer gets leads and sales from the web.

www.VertxSystems.com -- call us or email us for crazy deals like this...

Broadcast Media vs. Internet Media

2009-11-08T12:21:00.002-05:00

What is broadcast media --- News Paper, Magazine (all Print), TV (cable, local, national), Radio.

What is Internet Media (new media) --- Everything on the web meaning: Search Engine Optimization, Website Design, Social Media, Blogs, Video Distribution, RSS Feeds, Press Release, and so on.

The confusion is just starting to blend in marketing because TV, Radio is starting to converge with Internet and mobile. You see broadcast media is design to deliver a message and the advertiser is in control of delivering this message when the consumer is watching this medium. If you were not hungry for a pizza and you saw an ad you might decide to order a pizza.

Internet is more interactive, which means that the consumer is in control of what he/she wants. This can be a positive or negative for different types of companies. Positive for those who understand the power of being found on page 1 of Google, Yahoo, MSN (BING) --- just when the consumer is looking for your products and services. This can be via Google AdWords or Organic Search but the key here is to be found.

"Its about SALES Stupid!"

2009-11-07T13:48:00.004-05:00

When you have knowledge and ability about a specific subject matter and potentially known in the Industry as an expert in the subject, "you know who you are" --- don't you get frustrated when others interested in hiring you but just will not spend the time to listen?

So, I had a great meeting with a mid-size client and they want to know how to dominate the web and generate 96% of leads from the web and get rid of the current slow process of using sales teams to generate this.

In app. 30 minutes of going over the details --- they immediately understood how they need to think about Internet marketing, lead generation and sales. Which was a delight for me --- because these guys are great clients. I did want to say "its about sales stupid!" not to them but most often when I interact with customers who don't spend the time to understand how to think about leveraging SEO - Sales Engine Optimization / Search Engine Optimization.

Google, Yahoo & Bing (MSN) has made spending money on PPC so easy that most customers can spend many thousands and not see a return. These platforms are excellent and they have spent millions to make them simple so anyone with a business idea can advertise. This is a good things because now the average Joe can setup a business and earn a living --- so you would think -- Ha! Ha!

Search Engine Optimization is not for the average Joe --- its for people who are serious about make money from the web. It for business owners who understand that they need to be on page 1 of Google, Yahoo & Bing for the lowest possible money and stay on page 1 consistently for the long-term.

Winning in business is not a 100 meter dash but an endurance race which does not end. Its for winners who can spend time with experts like I and my select team of web and broadcast media experts. Its about getting wealthy (not just rich).

Our clients, when they spend the time with us, see 1st hand that they are getting sales today and we design the Sales Engine Optimization (SEO) for the long-term sales growth for their Company.

When Google AdWords costing you too much money to be on Page 1 or even in the top 3 spots and you know in your heart that you are spending way too much money to get a good return --- then you are starting to see the picture --- call or email us for a no obligation discussion about your business and how we can get you to page 1 for more leads and sales today!!

Google Black Listed Site FIXED

2009-11-05T01:25:00.003-05:00

Seems like we got into a little bit of an issue. We have a website designer who created a site but because of in decision on the customers part left some content on the index.html page in small 2 points and dull colors.

This was information which the client needed to tell us what service areas they service. Well you know how things go, 10 others things takes up priority and bang you forget about it until the Search Engine Optimization person in charge of the accounts says: "why is Google keywords not ranking while MSN & Yahoo is moving up?, I am doing everything I can to get it ranked".

In any case, we figure this out and fix the issue and request Google website ranking cops a chance to resubmit our clients website and see what happens. We this is totally our fault and it could not have happened to a more nicer customers. Based on our calculation we lost app. 3 to 5 weeks of effort / leads and sales.

So, how do we make sure our client is happy --- well as the owner of the Company, in my opinion, we should do everything in our power to get our client ranked on Google, Yahoo and MSN and keep him on Page 1 for at least 2 months before we invoice him again. I think that is fair and the most proper things we can do!!!

We believe in open and honest communications with our clients and always do what is right by them!!!

Run the SEO - Return on Investment (ROI) model prior to hiring an SEO firm

2009-10-31T01:56:00.004-04:00

Search Engine Optimization does not mean increase in website traffic. You should only hire Search Engine Optimization (SEO) experts when you have completed a through understanding of what keywords you want to deliver and drive your sales volumes.

This is how you do the math:

1. Figure out app. number of sales you want so that you will be happy investing in SEO services.
2. Ask the SEO company and/or 3rd party research report on the keywords to figure out the past search completed on Google, Yahoo & MSN
3. Assume you will get 10% of the keywords search volumes to visit your website if you are on page 1 for that keyword
4. Assume that 1% all website traffic will become sales

So, here is how you have to look at hiring Search Engine Optimization experts --- lets say you are a tree removing service who want to expand sales by adding 5 new customer per month from Internet marketing but Google AdWords, and other ads are too expensive, it will cost $2/click --- in order to generate 5 sales per month you will need to focus on low competition (for fast results) search keywords with at least 5,000 search on keywords like "tree removal The Woodlands".

Tree Removal The Woodlands = 5,000 search = 10% click = 500 x $2 (PPC) = $1K/month
VERTX Local Search for 5 keywords is a flat fee of $499.99 so each keyword cost = $99/month. Is this a deal or a steal??

In fact the VERTX Local Search Engine Optimization includes Google, Yahoo & Bing to get the selected keywords to page 1 guaranteed.

If only the SEO consumer would learn this formula and if only more search engine firms would teach or explain this to customers --- we would have a lot less confusion in the industry.

I hope this formula was helpful, we are being very conservative with our exploration in this Blog, however, its a good guidance if you are in the market for Search Engine Optimization experts.

Business is slow during winter months "Bullshit" - Lots of leads & sales via web

2009-10-28T14:09:00.008-04:00

I hear from many customers (typically 1st time Internet lead generation clients) --- I don't want to spend money to leverage SEO service or Google AdWords, i.e. marketing dollar during the winter months because of the holidays and we typically don't see a return on our marketing dollars.

This statement is "so true" because these B2B and B2C customers are trained to leverage traditional forms of marketing, i.e. Print Media (Postcards, Door Hangers, News Paper, Magazine, Coupon Discount Flyers, etc.) and Broadcast Media (TV & Radio).

The difference between old media or traditional media marketing vs. new media or Internet / Mobile media marketing are significant. Traditional media is designed to shake the trees and create a desire for the product or service. While Internet media gives the power to the consumer and he/she searches for what they need NOW --- immediately.

In my opinion its much better to get the lead from a consumer looking for exactly what you are selling, right now, than to drum up desires of potentially making a customer want your products or services. When I am looking for stuff on Google, Yahoo & MSN search --- its because I need the information or want the product now or within a very short-time. Additionally, I typically find what i am looking for within page 1 or 2 of my search or i change the keywords to see it will land me better results.

I say what I mean and I can back it up when I tell my customers that the winter months are slow and that its "bullshit" statement. Here are some examples of searches completed in Sep. in Houston, TX area:

CATEGORY SEARCH 1% CUSTOMER ACQUISITION

Wood Flooring 450,000 4,500
Pool Service 165,000 1,650
Mortgage 30 year 90,000 900
Electrical Service 201,000 2,010
Handyman Services 60,500 605
Home Remodeling 201,000 2,010

These are actual numbers from Google AdWords - Keywords Report -- can your business even support 1% customer acquisition rate --- most like not. Heck, even if I am totally wrong and you attract 0.01% --- 1% of 1%, this Search Engine Optimization (SEO) + Google AdWords for Wood Flooring would attract a minimum of 45 sales per month --- NOT LEADS, THESE ARE ACTUAL SALES. Avg. Wood Flooring invoice in Houston, TX is app. $4K. Potential revenues for a flooring company working with us would generate in a so call slow

season: $4K x 45 sales = $180K. If 20% of this is profit = $36K. The owner take home would range between $20K - $40K/month in a so call slow season. So you are wondering what it might cost you for Search Engine Optimization --- $499.99/month for up to 5 - 10 keywords. I think you can run the numbers for the other categories.

I know some of you reading my blog think I am "bullshitting you"...so why not call or email me and I will personally run through the numbers specifically for your business and I will make a guarantee to get you results. Even during slow winter months!!

Google AdWords smart SEO Service

2009-10-21T15:10:00.003-04:00

Google AdWords is designed to be smart -- its simple, its measurable, its designed for the average "joe" to figure it out and its sooo easy you can setup the ads and let it run.

One of the best self help books i read over the years is the "Seven Habits of Highly Effective People" by Stephen Covey. Somewhere in that book he discusses how it takes years to build up a savings account by making a steady deposit but it take just a minute to spend it all....that is so true. You save years for that home or car and then in a second you buy it and the money is gone!!

Sure, you have gained some asset in return --- but so often with Advertisement, weather is be online with Google AdWords, Yahoo Ambassador, Microsoft AdExcellence --- or print or broadcast media; you have to be able to measure your return on investment.

What bugs me most about Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is that we has an industry have not yet come up with a standard setup of measures to demonstrate how SEO services done right actually returns 10x better return and better value than online, offline and tradition media.

Yes, we recommend all types of channel marketing --- but our heart is where we know we can provide the best value for our clients --- that is Search Engine Optimization (SEO).

Why do you think this is? Do you think Google, Yahoo, MSN or other folks can't do the reporting or is it because they want the consumers to be in the dark, confused and continue to spend money on the big 3 for ads?

Call us and allow us to run some numbers for you: www.VertxSystems.com
