2How long does it take to see results?
SEO is a long-term strategy but has consistently proven to provide the best return on investment. With more than 200 different ranking signals, it is difficult to predict how long it will take a website to rank. In our experience, clients typically see significant improvement on narrower search results, called long-tail keywords, in the first 90 days. Results for more competitive search terms emerge around 180 days after launch.
3Do you offer any guarantees?
Search engines warn to stay away from companies claiming to guarantee rankings. Any company that says they guarantee your ranking is being dishonest, as algorithms for Google, Bing and other search engines change frequently. K8 Digital Services is a recognized leader which consistently providing our clients the highest level of service and results. While we cannot guarantee rankings, we have a proven track record of delivering results to our clients.
4Will I have to make changes to my website?
It depends. Normally, no structural or design changes will need to be made to properly optimize your website. Most of the work we perform is in the code or content of each page. However, a very old or outdated site may need to be rebuilt or redesigned. Typically, most clients elect to have our staff make the changes; however, we can also provide clear directives if you would prefer implementing internally.

SEO

1Can I just do SEO for a few months?
You can, but you don't want to. Websites are organic. They constantly change and evolve. SEO is the same way. We're often asked for short SEO contracts because our clients just want to “get SEO over with” and move on. That simply can't happen. Throughout the month, we’re conducting many tasks to keep your site up to date, including monitoring your website via Google Analytics and Webmaster Tools, adding additional Event and Goal tracking, performing on-page optimization, answering questions, tracking campaigns, making SEO and usability recommendations. That’s before we correct crawl errors, broken links and spelling errors! We are constantly analyzing information and making adjustments, while staying on top of current research in the SEO field. These changes mean that your strategy can change from month to month, and committing to a short contract means that you’re missing out on crucial changes that can damage your rankings.
2We need a guarantee that we will have the top 10 search engine rankings for target keywords. If I pay you to do SEO, is this in the bag?
The goal of any online marketing campaign should be increased exposure, traffic, and conversions. While all the on-page and off-page optimization we do will most likely increase your rankings over time, nothing is “in the bag.” For example, Google alone changes its algorithm up to 600 times per year. While most of these alterations are minor, Google also rolls out major updates to their algorithm once in a while that may affect your website in major ways. We stay on top of what popular search engines are doing and make changes to the way we are doing things when needed. Additionally, there are thousands of words used each year to search for your site, some of which are general, and some of which are very specific. If you just focus on how you're ranking for some very popular search terms, you're missing out on thousands of other terms that motivated searchers are using to get to your company quickly, even if fewer folks are using those terms.
3Who will be my main point of contact at K8 Digital Services?
Each client is assigned a project manager that you'll work closely with every month. This is the person who will conduct your monthly calls, be available to answer questions, send your reports and email you throughout the month with suggestions and update. This person represents a team of more than a dozen professionals who are working on your search rankings. As for the reports, we can send you a sample SEO report at any time.

Website Development

1What do your websites cost?
The short answer: Our prices depend on so many factors, it’s impossible to determine how much it will cost without a long conversation about your goals and needs. The long answer: Give us a call to get a better idea of the cost of what you want to build. We’ll ask you a few questions about the nature of the site, what sort of interactivity the site will have, your graphic design needs, and more. Then, we’ll be able to provide an estimate. Be wary if a web developer gives you an instant quote. Imagine telling someone you want “a car” and having them immediately tell you a price for “a car.” The salesperson didn’t ask about the make or model, special features, or what you’ll be using the car for. How were they able, then, to give you a price? The same goes for building websites. The cost can vary widely, and it all depends on the capabilities, features, and functions you need.
2Another company says they can build a web site for us for $600. Why shouldn’t we use them?
We’ve seen those ads on the side of the road, too. Be wary of anyone who says they’ll build you a website for $600. There’s a possibility they’ll take your money and run. What’s more likely is that they’ll take your money and then build your site with zero attention to what you actually need – just a simple cut-and-paste job that looks exactly like every other website they’ve built (and they’re not very good to begin with, trust us on this one). They won’t give you custom design or graphics, they won’t help your website copy, and they won’t optimize your site for search engines. Remember, a consultation with K8 Digital Services is always free and we just might be able to prevent you from wasting that money.
3Will I have a say in the graphic design process?
Absolutely. Our goal is to please you. We can’t do that without your input. If there are other sites with a design style that you would like to emulate, share them with us. If you have a logo or brand collateral that you’d like us to work around, that’s no problem. We’ll be sure your new site will be a consistent and integral part of your overall brand.
4How does the payment process work?
All projects begin with a 50% deposit. After design sign off and before we move into programming, we collect 25%. Once we have completed the website, the final 25% is collected and your website is then scheduled for launch.
