Kansas City Pay-Per-Click vs Kansas City SEO
Just to make sure we’re talking the same terms…
Kansas City SEO is not the Kansas City Pay-Per-Click (PPC) ads at the top of a Google search result screen.
SEO are the organic results below the ads in Google.
We do provide (PPC) support to clients. The cost of PPC is determined almost 100 percent by how much the competition is currently paying Google to be at the top the ad section. To be at the top of the ads you have to be willing to pay more to Google than your competition is paying. PPC is simple, inexpensive (less than $500) to set up, but can be expensive to run monthly depending on what your competition is currently paying to Google. There’s no way to know this Google cost without doing a couple hours of analysis at our hourly rate of $80.
SEO is a long term marketing strategy where you try to get your site to show up well in the organic (below the ad section in Google). You cannot pay Google to be in the organic section, so you have to spend more time on SEO than your competition to get to the top of the organic section.
SEO is a marathon, not a sprint. You have to just spend the time and, depending on who’s already on the first page of Google, it could take more than a year to get on the first page of Google in the organic section. It’s just depends on how much time you want to spend. Time = money. Someone has to spend the time doing these six things.
1. Do the analysis and come up with the top key words you want to be found for in Google.
2. Modify your Web site content one time in support of the top key words you want to be found for in Google.
3. Continually, on your Web site provide the consumer with fresh new information for the top key words you want to be found for in Google. (Blogging is a good way to do this on your site)
4. Be bigger on the Internet than your Web site for the top key words you want to be found for in Google. (Social media)
5. Have a marketing strategy that gets lots of people visiting your Web site. Google loves a busy traffic Web site.
6. Make your Web Design Responsive or Mobile.
If you do these six things above, and never stop, you will see upward movement for your Key Words in the Google search results. The closer you get to page one results in Google, the more you have to work. Remember, you have to bump off those already on the first page of Google by doing more than they are. They got to the first page by working at it.
So the cost of doing items 1 thru 6 above vary based on the current competition and what you have to do “more” than they are currently doing. All the 6 above are “time” activities. Who’s going to spend the time doing them.
