Denver Performance-Based SEO plans

Lights shine on a performance

Only pay for great optimization results

One of Katz Web Design’s Denver web design clients wanted an option for performance-based SEO (Search Engine Optimization), rather than a monthly set price, so I created a package.

Here’s the gist of our SEO package:

  • Pay only $5.00 an hour for optimization
  • Targeted keywords are given a value based mainly on the competition’s SEO strength (content optimization, inbound links, age of site, etc.)
  • Monthly payment per keyword are based on SEO click-through statistics  (eg: the #1 result gets 42% of all clicks) and SEO difficulty
  • Minimum 3 month contract, or by the month with a 15% premium

Load time improvements

Load time matters

Imagine waiting 18 seconds for a page to load (on a high-speed connection) — not just the home page, but any inside page of a website.  Pretty frustrating, right?  Having bad load times makes a huge difference to your customers.  I helped a new client reduce page load time from 19 seconds to 3 seconds.

Is Blogging Really Worth the Time?

One reason to blog is traffic! [Image of traffic light]

Today, a business associate asked me “I know about blogging, and it seems like a waste of time. Why is blogging worth the time?” I was able to reply with some very convincing arguments — and in a way, I reminded myself about the value of blogging.

  1. Blogging establishes you as an expert in your field
  2. Search engine traffic dramatically increases
  3. Blogging is basically free marketing for your business: the only cost is your time.
  4. Blogging forces you to write about your life and your business
