You might have a brand new site,
or you might have a site that's been sitting around,
being completely ignored by the search engines (and
thus potential site visitors). Either way, your undoubtedly
sizable investment needs some assistance getting attention
from web surfers, and that is precisely what this
package was created to do.
Site Ranking Report
As a basis for comparison throughout the duration
of the project, a report will be produced before any
work is done detailing your site's current placement
in the SERP's. The ranking report will tell you where/if
your site comes up for ten specific keywords searches
on all the major search engines.
Keyword Selection and Current
Traffic Analysis
The keywords you provide on the Search Engine Optimization
Worksheet will provide a basis for the work to come.
Using online tools and competitive research, Chicago
Internet will help you determine the relevant keywords
that are most likely to bring qualified visitors to
your site. By reviewing your past traffic logs, Chicago
Internet can also identify which, if any, keywords
are already bringing in traffic.
Site Alterations and Improvements
Using the keywords from the research, Chicago Internet
will make adjustments to the major elements of your
homepage's source code which hold relevance for the
search engines:
- ALT tags - words that
appear on your site when a user mouses over an image
or in lieu of an image when a user's browser has
the graphics turned off
- Comment tags - hidden
comments in a site's source code, typically used
only by programmers, but sometimes also indexed
by search engine spiders
- META tags - most common
are the description and keyword tags; several sites
still rely on the description tag for the listing
that appears on the SERP's
- Title tag - the text
in your webpage's title is considered highly relevant
by search engine spiders, though it's often overlooked
- Robots.txt file - this
simple text document can help encourage some search
engine spiders to crawl your entire site
Additional Recommendations
There are basic optimization elements which are universally
applicable, but because all websites were not created
equal, there is no one size fits all SEO solution.
Chicago Internet will look at your entire website
and create a customized list of recommendations for
further optimization. Suggested changes, such as a
search engine friendly site map, or moving javascript
from the homepage to an external folder, can be implemented
by Chicago Internet professional designers at an additional
hourly rate. You will receive an optional invoice
for this work!
Hand Submission to Major Search
Engines
After all the changes have been implemented (including
the custom options if you decide to follow through
with the recommendations), your homepage's URL will
be submitted by hand to the major search engines and
directories listed below. It may take anywhere from
days to months for your site to be indexed or accepted,
depending on the search engine. The per URL fees associated
with guaranteed inclusion are covered by this package.
- Alta Vista
- Google
- Inktomi (guaranteed inclusion for 1 year)
- the Open Directory
- Lycos/FAST (guaranteed inclusion for 1 year)
- Teoma/ Ask Jeeves (guaranteed inclusion for 1
year)
- ah-ha
- whatUseek
- Alexa
- National Directory
- GoGuides
- Gigablast
- Gimpsy
- Wotbox
Automated Submission to 1,000
Other Sites
There are countless search engines and directories
on the Web that you've probably never heard of. That
doesn't mean that one of your potential customers
hasn't though. Chicago Internet has the ability to
automatically submit your site to hundreds upon hundreds
of little known sites. Even more important than being
indexed, though, is the potential for additional inbound
links to help boost your link popularity (one of the
most important factors that Google considers when
computing results).
Follow-up Ranking Report
Following the submissions, ranking reports (using
the same ten keywords as the original) will be created
to see where your site now places in the results.
You will receive these reports two, four, and six
months after the submissions are complete.
ADDITIONAL OPTIONS FOR THIS
ADVANCED PACKAGE:
If your website features interior pages with keyword-laden
copy (such as a products or services page), it would
beneficial to optimize these pages as well. For each
additional page you would like optimized, the HTML
copy, ALT tags, comment tags, META tags, and title
tags will be adjusted to reflect keyword emphasis;
that page's URL will be submitted to any search engine
that doesn't automatically crawl the entire site,
and will also have guaranteed inclusion in the Inktomi,
Lycos, and Teoma databases.
For each additional page optimization you order, Chicago
Internet will add five more keywords to your ranking
reports.
additional cost for 1 interior
page: $150
additional cost for 2 interior pages: $300
additional cost for 3 interior pages: $450
