Search Engine Optimization Company

Simply put, SEO stands for “Search Engine Optimization.” SEO is the process of improving the quality of a website (or individual web page) to target and obtain additional search traffic (also known as “organic traffic”).

This is accomplished by optimizing both on-page SEO and off-page SEO. On-page SEO, in its simplest terms, is the measure of your website’s content quality, coding structure, and page speed. Off-page SEO involves links, both from your website to another and when an external website references your website.

To answer this question, we would need to know more information about your business. Some determining factors would include how optimized for Google your current website is, how competitive the keywords you are targeting are, and what your current goals are.

For example, lets imagine you are a plumber in San Francisco. To rank for the keyword “plumber United States” will be more competitive than “plumber San Francisco.” It’s relative to your business and the reason each SEO strategy that we put together is custom to your unique needs and goals as a business.

It depends. If your SEO is planned, strategized, and implemented correctly by an SEO expert then it will definitely be cost-effective as the ROI should be built into the strategy.

That’s what makes Mentality Designs different than other SEO “experts.” Other SEO firms will take your money regardless of the ROI as they are less concerned with the results than they are about earning a buck. But at Mentality Designs, we will only take on clients that pass the “ROI test” in the planning stage.

That means that we have done our research to ensure the strategy we are recommending has considered the potential ROI for your business.

This question is the equivalent of asking a gym trainer “how long will it take for me to be fit?” And they will probably tell you the same thing I am about to tell you… It depends.

Where do you want to go? How competitive is the market you are in? What is your end goal? By implementing SEO your ranking will improve, that’s a fact, but how much you improve and for how long will depend on your commitment level, duration, and the SEO team you trust to implement your strategy.

This is a complicated question but let us just say this – If your current SEO team isn’t looking at the ROI before implementing your SEO strategy, HEAD FOR THE HILLS!

The ROI on your SEO should be positive (obviously) and should earn you money each month. If you invest $1500/month, the strategy should be planned to bring much more than that over the term of the contract.

That’s the plan. But can we guarantee it? We can’t, and neither can any other SEO company on the planet. Just ask Google:

“No one can guarantee a #1 ranking on Google. Beware of SEOs that claim to guarantee rankings, allege a “special relationship” with Google, or advertise a “priority submit” to Google.”

But our custom SEO strategies will target #1 rankings and use our expertise to work to get you there using the most effective white hat strategies in our arsenal.

Eventually, yes. Similar to when you stop going to the gym, your health begins to slowly decay. How long it takes for you to drop off is dependent on your ranking when you stop.

This is because SEO is an extremely competitive field and requires consistent work and strategy to achieve results. Which is a good thing – This will allow you to overcome businesses who do not invest in their SEO with the same conviction as you and allow you to remain atop if you remain committed.

 Remember, SEO is the long game and will earn you long-term dividends if you remain dedicated to the process.

You do not. If you are looking for a shorter commitment, we can start month-to-month.

Though, it may be in your best interest to commit long-term to us as we offer a 15% discount for 6-month and 20% discount for 12-month commitments. After the term of these contracts, the commitment reverts to month-to-month at the discounted rate.

We do not. PPC services can be effective and have their place in digital marketing, but we believe in focusing on the long-term growth involved in search engine optimization.

Reporting is one of our favorite services as it’s time to show you the results! You can expect to receive as much (or little) information you need for your business. This will include your live rankings, Google Analytics, a report showing the work performed, and an executive summary of what it all means. We try to be as transparent as possible in our work and if you require specific metrics for your business please let us know in the planning stage.

The only guarantee we can make is that we guarantee to do the work. As mentioned before, directly transcribed from Google’s SEO page:

“No one can guarantee a #1 ranking on Google. Beware of SEOs that claim to guarantee rankings, allege a “special relationship” with Google, or advertise a “priority submit” to Google.”

We will always be transparent in our strategy, work performed, and the results.

As long as search engines such as Google exist and are used by the general public for decision making, SEO will never die. SEO is about obtaining relevant, organic traffic to your website to communicate your offerings and value to potential customers. Unless obtaining customers goes out of style, SEO will never be “dead.”
