Halifax Website Design

Search Engine Optimization

So you’ve got a shiny new website for all to see – the only problem is that no one can find it!

Not to worry, we can help you there too. Portico offers solutions to promote your site on both the organic listings (the non-paid results you see when you search for something), and Google Places.

Organic Search Engine Optimization

When you type a search term into a search engine such as Google you typically see something like this:
Organic Search Engine Results

The results in the red box are the organic search engine results – that is, you’re not paying per click to get your site listed there. The results to the right and above are paid advertisements called AdWords. They have their place, but 80% of eyeballs go to the organic results, so that’s where we focus.

Our goal is always to promote your site as high up on page 1 of Google as possible – while position #1 cannot be guaranteed, we can guarantee that one of your keywords will make it to page 1 of Google.

What will this cost? We offer a simple package that breaks down as follows:

Setup Fee: $797
Monthly Link Building Fee: From $297 per month, up to 5 keywords

The setup fee includes on-page SEO analysis and recommendations and initial link building. The monthly fee allows us to continue building links to your site, gradually building your online presence and boosting your search engine rankings.

Google Places

Google Places is the latest offering from Google in the search engine results world, and can be seen when you type in a search phrase that could produce several local results. The following image shows a Google Places result:

Google Places Results

Notice the map and ‘thumbtack’ results in the image – these are Google Places entries. They contain contact information, a link to your site and, for fully optimized listings, much more! Claiming your Google Places listing can be a huge advantage in getting noticed in the search engine results.

We offer a straight-forward Google Places package:

Setup Fee: $797
Monthly Listing Maintenance: $297 per month

Building a solid and fully optimized Google Places entry is essential to ranking it highly in the coveted ’7-pack’, and requires ongoing citation and review building. Let Portico build you a custom Google Places entry that will get seen!
