Not all the phone calls I get are as enjoyable as listening to new ideas. As you know, we get tons of calls from places like India to outsource of web development to them - we don't do it. But I also get a nice amount of calls from people looking for us to do SEO services for them.
The thing is, we really don't offer typical SEO services. If we build your site, from the ground up - we will make sure the site is incredibly search engine friendly. But we do not offer all the other SEO services, such as link building, those really important (being sarcastic) ranking reports, content development and so on. What we do is build out a very search engine friendly and custom CMS that grows with your business. But we will not write your content or get you those links that are so important in convincing Google (and those other search engines) that your site should rank number one for [enter keyword phrase here].
But I get a nice amount of calls about SEO services and I turn 99.999% of them away to SEO vendors I trust.
Why don't we offer SEO services? I have been asked this question time and time again. It is not like I don't know a thing or two about the topic. Hint: Read my bio. So why don't we offer typical SEO services? A few reasons...
Those are just some of the reasons we do not offer standard SEO services. On occasion, I will consult and give advice at a really hefty hourly rate. If the client wants to implement that advice, that is up to them.
In summary, our sites are incredibly search engine friendly, using 'best practices' (yes, I said it) to build out the site's features. If you are not willing to start over, then we are not willing to clean up your mess. For other "SEO" services, such as link building and content development - we don't do that because of the potential bias.
