Thanks for your payment!

Thanks for your Payment.

To help us to help you, we have a brief questionnaire about your site - please copy and paste the questions below into an email, and add your responses.

Post to:

  1. The URL of the site:
  2. Is the site yours, or a client's?
  3. How long has the site been there as it appears now?
  4. Was the site bought new - or has there been a previous owner?
  5. Do you use a database / cms / dynamic pages ?
  6. Does your site use templates?
  7. Is your site: Business / Personal / Hobby ?
  8. Name Your Niche:
  9. Who, do you think, is your target audience?
  10. Has the site previously had professional SEO work done to it?
  11. Has the site previously had SEO work done by you?
  12. Have you validated your code?
  13. Do all internal 'home' links point to '/' or 'www.domain.com/'?
  14. Do you have a Permanent redirect from non-www to www?
  15. Is the site cross-browser compatible?
  16. Does your site have incoming links from Quality Directories?
  17. Does your site have incoming links from Link Exchanges?
  18. Does your site have incoming links from Paid Textlinks?
  19. Has the site ever had a search engine ban?
  20. What do you think might be the biggest problem for the site?

The more information you can give, the more help we can be to you - but please do not worry if you don't know all the answers.

Once we receive your answers, we'll start looking at your site and its code, and compile a report for you.

The report will include reference to 20 areas where we believe you can improve your site. NOT ALL will be changes that will directly affect the search engines; some changes (for example validation of code) may have little direct effect on serach engine listings - but your site will be more user-friendly, more receptive to all visitors, human and search engine, and we believe that this will help your site in the longer term.

Our reports are prepared in Good Faith, and we believe that our advice can help you in your quest for better search engine listings; but there are no guarantees. The rules change; needs vary from niche to niche, we cannot oversee the work you undertake, or check for errors.

We are happy to clarify parts of our report that are not clear, however, and we will be willing to do a 'half price' follow-up at a later date, a minimum of three months AFTER you have upgraded your site. (email for details).

Finally, we have no inside information; we do our work based on the best available knowledge, and keep up-to-date with the key Quality SEO forums and blogs - so you don't have to spend quite so much time and effort doing so!
