I had one of my long-time clients tell me this week that another website development company had explained to her that, if her site is done “right” then she could be #1 on Google within a month.

Have you been told the same?

Just as your stomach growls when you are hungry, so does your instinct tell you if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Many SEO firms make such promises. Some may be able to deliver, but what are some of the things you should keep in mind if you find yourself confronted by such a “promise.”

ASK:

What key term will I be ranked #1 at?

If you are a cosmetic surgeon in the kansas city area, you want to be #1 in the term “kansas city cosmetic surgeon.”  Automatically, when someone tells you that you can be #1 in a month, you believe that you can be #1 in that term.

And you can!!!

IF you pay for it with a Pay Per Click campaign.

What many of these SEO firms do is convince you of a #1 spot of a term so vague that even the “cat in the hat” can make your “search term” sing. 

I’m not here to tell you BEWARE ~ I’m here to remind you to ask the intelligent questions…

What makes YOU #1?
