Search Engine Optimisation Services
Looking for an experienced company to carry out ongoing search engine optimisation?
Back in 2003 every website that Cornish WebServices designed was achieving to top page rankings, even in competitive markets such as the tourism industry. OK- it was easier then, but we were one of the first companies to consider the marketing of websites to be as important as the visual design. We have a long history of search engine optimisation with satisfied clients still with us over 4 years later.
Search Engine Optimisation Techniques
We can help improve search engine rankings on most existing websites through various different search engine optimisation techniques. We only ever use 'white-hat' or ethical techniques as this gives the best long term optimisation. Other non ethical techniques risk your website being banned from the major search engines.
Our search engine optimisation service includes tasks grouped into several stages, usually done sequentially but there is some flexibility as all websites are different and we always balance the implementation costs with benefits in terms likely rise in rankings. The skill of a good SEO worker is in selecting those SEO tasks which give a good ROI for the particular website.
Search Engine Optimisation Experience
We have experience at handling anything from small static websites of a few pages, to large static websites, dynamic websites, shopping carts and a range of CMS systems. There is a myth that dynamic websites or shopping carts cannot be search engine optimised. Although many shopping carts and database driven websites are written (badly) so that they are not indexable by Google, this need not be the case. Cornish WebServices can successfully optimise these types of website.
We will not work on purely Flash websites, as we consider these to be very poor marketing tools. We do however work with websites containing Flash elements, and part of our wok would ensure this is put together in a search engine friendly manner.
Search engine optimisation costs
Search engine optimisation costs vary enormously, depending most on:
- Quality of the website code
- Competitiveness of the market
and then to a smaller degree on the
- number of pages
- amount of existing page copy
Large dynamic websites can sometimes be search engine optimised very effectively with only a little work, giving dramatic results within weeks to months. Smaller, poorly written websites may take longer as we effectively need to rewrite the website code. Please contact us for a realistic quotation. We can usually give a rough idea after looking quickly at your website. Factors affecting the price of search engine optimisation are given on our search engine optimisation prices page.
Search engine optimisation timescales
We can get websites indexed in Google within days, but high rankings can take time and it is unrealistic to expect less than 3 months. In very competitive markets timescales of 6-9 months are typical to gain top place on Google. We normally see results on Yahoo and MSN much faster.
Need Search Engine Optimisation Results FAST?
Companies guaranteeing you a top place in the search engines within one month will either risk your website being dropped a few months later, or will select uncompetitive keywords which are not useful to you. We cannot and will not do this.
How to choose a search engine optimisation company
A good search engine optimisation company should not need to advertise their services through PPC advertising, but should appear naturally high in the search engine rankings. Therefore avoid any SEO company that advertises through PPC listings.
Ideally we would recommend choosing any company that appears high in the rankings for words such as 'search engine optimisation'. However some of the companies in the top few places are using short term 'unethical tactics' that are frowned upon by Google. These risk being dropped from Google. If a company uses such tactics on their own website, then we advise not using them as you risk your website being removed completely from Google. Larger SEO companies on the top page are currently using other forms of paid advertising (paid links, paid news links and sponsored ads) to maintain top page positions.
The best choice is therefore a search engine optimisation company that appears on the top few pages of the search engines AND guarantees only to use ethical techniques.
Cornish WebServices only use such techniques. We do not advertise our search engine optimisation services through paid advertising, but successfully rely on visitors from the major search engines and from recommendations for all our search engine optimisation work.
