Search Engine Optimization

“I have noticed a significant increase in new clients requesting proposals via our website.  The elevated visits to our website seem to correspond to our increased work load.  I’m finding out more and more that visits to our website are often the clincher to using our company.”

With over 100 million different websites on the internet, there is substantial competition for visitors to the average website.  Over the years there have been numerous attempts, both good and bad, to define a method of attracting more visitors.  Of course since the search engines control who gets to see what, the solution must come from working with those search engines.

Our Search Engine Optimization (SEO) programs attempt to create an environment in which the subject website is elevated to a higher ranking in a visitor’s search.  Since most visitors read from the top down, the closer to the top of a list, the more likely a site is to get visitors, and therefore, paying customers.
The down side is that these same search engines are constantly changing the algorithms utilized in determining who is to reach the upper levels.  And therefore, SEO work is a constantly changing process.

Our cost is quite low compared to what most companies charge for even limited SEO work.  We try to keep a limit on these costs because we realize that many of our customers just don’t have the funds to support the high cost of SEO work.  On the other hand, we typically only do such work for customers who are on our hosting programs.

The fact is, virtually all websites selling a product can benefit from Search Engine Optimization.  There is usually a direct correlation between the number of visitors to a site and the number of sales at your store, company, or on the internet.  However, a well-developed website and SEO go hand-in-hand.  Meridian can assist in bringing more customers to your site but if the visitors don’t like the site, the chances are they won’t buy.
