Statistics show that we have five to ten seconds to get visitors to stay on a site. If they do not find what they're looking for within 2 to 3 clicks, they leave. Never loose focus about why visitors need your services above your competitors. Typed text is the first thing to show on a site, so try and have a 'catch phrase' on your home page that gets your visitors to continue reading and visiting the entire site.

Legitimate, proper SEO implementation is a site-wide venture that involves excellent content, real inbound links and great titles. It cannot be taken away or held hostage for nonpayment of recurring fees.

The companies that say you have to sign an annual contract to keep your rankings...then it's not real SEO.

Don't ever sign a contract that gives ownership of your title tags, meta tags and page content to anyone. It's your website and you are entitled to own all work performed on it.

If a SEO company has a problem with that, then find someone else.

At Web Consulting Services, we do not require you to engage in annual contracts comprised of a high monthly fees to keep you hostage as a customer. We feel that we should be able to keep you as a customer by building your site correctly and thoughtfully, allowing the search engines to find you, and keep you there by checking your position from time to time. We only charge a fee when actual work is being done on your behalf and on your files.
