01 Web Marketing

This was a unique search engine optimization company in that they appeared to offer pay per ranking services meaning you do not pay until they reach at least page two in the search engines which was cool. They included their pricing on the site as an example of how it works however you must contact them in order to obtain an accurate quote which is understandable as each niche varies greatly in terms of keyword demand, industry competition and many other factors. They were asking one month's cost up front as a security deposit which is fair. If they did not reach their targets for your keywords in the allotted time which is six months I believe they refund this in full without any hassles. They make clear that they believe in using white hat methods to acheive rankings for their clients. They would have to because any other method would likely harm their efforts even though it may be quicker to do up front the end result would not be in their or their clients best interests. I liked that they have a ceiling on the pricing so you're not ever charged for more than you expect. They have several recognizable brands for clients including Microsoft and a garcinia cambogia based client which has a lot of competition I happen to know in the marketing industry so that's impressive. If that company is ranking on the first page they are making a serious amount of income which would be a dream come true. They claim to have over a ninety percent success rate which is outstanding. This means they do a lot of work up front to understand your business and competition in the industry. Otherwise, there would be no way for them to offer you a reasonable quote and guarantee the success that they do.

I do wish they tiered their pricing a bit more. For example, in their example it was forty USD per keyword ranked on the first page of Google, and half or twenty USD per month for the second page of Google. And it's exactly half price of this for Yahoo and Bing rankings which is fine. Though I believe it could be broken down more perhaps as the top three spots on the first page get a whole lot more traffic than the rest of the first page, or the second pages at all. I think it should be forty for the top three spots, thirty for the bottom seven spots on the first page and twenty for the second page but that's just my opinion.

So I have contacted this company after filling out their inquiry form which took about ten minutes to complete in which they ask for some relevant information about your niche and competition among items in order to determine pricing for their risk free approach. I received a very quick response which was great but I was notified that their pricing model is not current and that they are switching to an affiliate search engine optimization pricing model which is very rare. I agreed to have them review our niche and get back to me as to whether we were a good fit or not and unfortunately did not hear back again. So either they are in the beginning stages of realigning their pricing model, or we weren't a good fit. Either way a heads up would have been appreciated. I like the ideas this company has and they have a lot of good things going for them but I can't recommend a company that currently seems to be up in the air although remain open to their proposal should they circle around and be in touch again.
