It’s winter time here in northern Michigan (sort of) and I usually take time in the winter to expand my network online and also my web properties.  It’s also a good time to connect with new SEO clients looking for a low cost SEO service that will imporve their small business website.   I’ve been an entrepreneur since I was 20 and it amazing my how cyclical or seasonal businesses are.  I started a commercial concrete company back in 1998 and in Michigan we just plain don’t do concrete in the winter.  I always assumed (falsely) that the only businesses that were seasonal where ones like construction, landscaping and, well, accountants.

Turns out, most all businesses are somewhat seasonal and yours probably is too.  One of the smart ways to maintain or even improve your websites performance during off-peak times is to out-source your SEO with a lowcost SEO service.  We offer a backlink package that maintains your rankings and it’s one of the best backlinking strategies for seasonal businesses, it doesn’t cost much either.  There is a lot of bad information when it comes to SEO and more specifically backlinks.  You really DON’T need thousands of backlinks coming at your site everymonth, in fact today that will likely hurt your rankings instead of helping.

Low Cost SEO Service For Small Business

There are thousand of low-cost backlink service companies and most offer… Crap.  I’ve spent a few thousan dollars on quick fix SEO and backlink packages that claim 50,000 backlinks for $150 bucks.  That was back in 2006 and guess what?  It doesn’t work.  Besides the fact that our backlink packages are low cost another reason to use our low cost SEO service for small business websites is that you actually get a backlink report every month.  We don’t automate linkbuilding with software and we recommend you steer clear of that in 2012, it will hurt your site, period.

One of the keys to our low cost SEO service that offers an expensive “maintenance backlink package is that it is a natural link building method that provide just the right about of current backlinks for most any small business website.  Let’s face it you aren’t The New York Times or FaceBook so you don’t need 500 backlinks a month.  If you are a family law lawyer in Montana google doesn’t expect you to get 100 links a month and it isn’t sustainable anyway.

Simple SEO Service Idea

One of the best ways to maintain your current ranking or improve them over time is to let us do your backlinking for you.  Buy our Maintenance Backlink Package and see what slow and steady does for your website this year.  Another low cost and simple way get SEO done that is effective is to look at the “Claim What’s Yours” package.  If you have a phone number listed as a business number you likely have hundreds of profiles online already, just waiting to be claimed.  Companies like Yellow Book and Manta.Com probably have profiles already for your company, we go and claim them for you and link them to your business website so you can get more customers, clients and sales.  You can learn more about these low cost SEO service ideas and more by visiting out SEO backlink service page.  If you have questions just leave them in the comments on that page.

Paying for expert SEO services creates a reasonable expectation of quanifiable results that translate into increased profitability. As they say Expectation-Reality=Disappointment and many small business owners paying for SEO services are just that, disappointed.  With most SEO service provider talking over the heads of just about anyone and the rest offering the suggestion you need to become an expert yourself, what are small business owners who just want results left to do?

SEO Experts and Getting Results

Strategy is key in implementing any SEO service or search engine marking plan and often times it is entirely overlooked. Many small business owners choose to let the expert provide the “target” keywords to begin the ranking process and forget to realize the SEO expert may know nothing about your actual business.

Getting results online with SEO requires a holistic approach that utilizes a CLEAR understanding of your particular business as the FOUNDATION of the SEO campaign. Getting results is a different animal than getting traffic and being ranked number one for keywords that don’t convert boils down to expensive bragging rights…. Not results.

So keep in mind, when your looking to hire an SEO expert for your small business website, that you have a specific business goal your looking to achieve. Communicate that goal to your potential expert SEO service provider and see how that sits with them.
