Website optimisation services by search engine optimisers who understand more about the search engines than other search engine optimisers. We optimise websites using optimisation techniques unique to us.

Never pay search engine optimisers in advance for their services. Search engine optimisation is not like website design where you can see and receive a finished product. If a search engine optimiser is genuinely confident of getting the results you are looking for in the organic results of the search engines, they will be happy to invoice you only when they have achieved the agreed results.

If you stick to this golden rule, you won’t get caught out by the rogue companies who charge upfront, make false claims and in many cases, do nothing or very little for the money they charge.

Another test is to go to Google and type in – search engine optimisers – and/or – website optimisers – and see which optimisation companies are in the top ten for both searches. It stands to reason that these are the companies who really understand how the search engines work. Any company claiming that they can get you a top ten ranking on Google but cannot do it for themselves are likely to be a waste of money.

SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMISERS – BEST ADVICE

Search engine optimisers that genuinely understand the search engines are relatively few. Most optimisation companies base there procedures on information that is readily accessible on the Internet. The problem is that most of this information is wrong, out of date, deliberately misleading or biased towards selling a product or service.

If Google has tens or even hundreds of millions of pages indexed for a key phrase relevant to your website, it stands to reason that it is not a simple task to dislodge the best performing sites by optimising a website with a few keywords and well placed meta tags. The reality is - Search engine optimisation is a skill that requires long term study and understanding. There are no magical formulas and no programmes that can suddenly launch you into the higher echelons of the search engines.

Ignore any optimisation company that claims they have a special relationship with Google or guarantees you top ten positions on Google and or other search engines. Google state that this is not true and that they have no special working relationships with any search engine optimisers.

Internet sites can only benefit from high levels of search engine traffic if they are optimised for popular keyphrases that people use in high volumes and very few search engine optimisers have the skills to achieve this.

SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMISERS – DO NOT GUARANTEE RESULTS

Search engine optimisation that involves gaining top ten rankings for high volume competitive key phrases is labour intensive, requires enormous research and a thorough understanding of the search engines. Common sense must tell you that it cannot be that simple to gain top ten rankings when Google and the other major search engines have hundreds of millions of web pages indexed for popular key words.

Avoid any optimisation companies that make guarantees, demand payment in advance, have some kind of miracle programme, special relationships with the search engines or send you an unsolicited email.

RESULTS BASED SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMISERS

Legitimate search engine optimisers are confident of their abilities to gain top ten rankings and do not charge up front for their services. We look at each project and based on its merits, your website, your competition and numerous other facts, decide whether your proposal is realistic. Sometimes, if we believe it would not be in your best interests, we will recommend that you opt for pay per click advertising. This is normally when the costs due to the work involved required to optimise your site, would be better invested elsewhere.

Scopula, work in this way and will advise you if the job would be both economic and profitable to have done.

Genuine search engine optimisation is not a ten minute job, nor is it something that anyone can do. It would be like do it yourself brain surgery and from a business point of view, just as dangerous as the results can be terminal.

We have a far greater understanding of how the search engines operate and search engine optimisation than any other company.

If you have an optimisation project, we recommend that you make contact. It cost nothing to ask.
