Package Five: SEO Is Your Friend

SEO, short for Search Engine Optimization, basically comes down to making your blog/site the best it can possibly be, for both search engines and humans, so it can be found by those who are looking for what you have to offer. Here’s what I can do for you:

  • Competition analysis
  • Site maps and server testing
  • Setup of blog statistics reporting software (monthly analysis available*)
  • Analysis and change requests (if needed) of directory submission(s). If major Web directories don’t have your site listed, I can prepare a site submission request (individual directory charges may apply*)
  • Monthly search engine optimization analysis with all of the above available, contact me for details*

Note: If your site is Flash-based or graphics intensive, you might need to completely rebuild your site in order for the above changes to make a difference. I can recommend reputable Web design firms to help you do that.
