Monterey Hypnosis Center Rankings Explode!

Would you like your local business to be found more easily on Google and other search engines?  I’m sure as a business owner you see lots of spammy offers to get you to the top of Google in 30 days, etc.  Be careful, as these offers are often too good to be true.  While they can possibly get you to the first page of Google, the actual search page you would show up in would be totally irrelevant for your business (and probably anyone else, too).  EG Online Marketing is focused on providing effective SEO for small businesses to capture a greater share of the local search traffic from the major search engines.  Our Atlanta Internet Marketing services will help you position yourself as the perceived leader for your industry in your local market.  While our services and marketing are focused on businesses in our local market of Atlanta, our company works with many other small businesses all over the country and our methods work for them just as well.  Let’s take a look at a recent client’s results after we implemented our SEO strategies into their website.

A couple of months ago we spent some time working on www.montereyhypnosiscenter.com.  The owner was referred to us by a family member whom we had already helped increase traffic and leads dramatically for their business with our SEO efforts.  Obviously this company offers hypnotherapy for people wanting to lose weight, stop smoking, etc.  They are local and serve a local market so this caused us to focus our efforts on local SEO.  The website was less than a year old but was already ranking well for “Monterey Hypnosis” since they chose a great domain name including these keywords.  In researching the relevant search traffic for this topic, we quickly realized the website was not being optimized at all for the best keywords.  We restructured the website, renamed some category pages, 301 redirected the old pages to the new, and optimized each page using our typical techniques and methods.  We were able to get the new pages indexed quickly and the rankings began to improve dramatically – and quickly!

Here are the results of our work, and the changes in ranking from July 20, 2010 to August 16, 2010.  All of these ranking represent the current position on Google, Yahoo and Bing.  For a couple of them the ranking on Bing are a little lower, with the lowest ranking on Bing at 5th.  For some reason they take longer to catch up but they eventually do.

Monterey Hypnosis – from 2nd to 1st & 2nd
Hypnosis Monterey – from 2nd to 1st & 2nd
Sports Hypnosis Monterey – from unranked to 1st & 2nd
Insomnia Hypnosis Monterey – from unranked to 1st & 2nd
Stop Smoking Hypnosis Monterey – from 4th to 1st & 2nd
Hypnosis For Weight Loss Monterey – from 5th to 1st & 2nd
Hypnosis For Anxiety Monterey – from unranked to 1st & 2nd
Hypnosis Seminars Monterey – from 849 to 1st & 2nd
Quit Smoking Hypnosis Monterey – from 3rd to 1st & 2nd

Obviously our methods work.  Again, these results happened quicker because this is localized for the Monterey market.  This will mean less overall traffic but each visitor will be very targeted as they are searching locally for these services.  The website has experienced a 10% increase in traffic in the last 30 days, during the time we have moved the rankings up to positions 1 & 2.  We expect a continued increase in traffic as we hold these positions.

Yes, results may vary, but this is a great example of how we helped a small, local business quickly give themselves the best chances to capture more local customers.  We achieved these results with our most basic SEO package.  What can we do for you and your business?  Give us a call or email us today about our Atlanta Internet Marketing services.

Atlanta Internet Marketing Explained

Atlanta Internet Marketing is currently the most effective form of advertising you can spend money on and track ROI results. Unlike traditional media venues like TV, radio, print ads, etc., online marketing gives you the ability to track your return on investment to the “nth degree”. There is nothing worse than spending money to attract customers, crossing your fingers and hoping for the best. With the continuous growth of online shopping activity, a huge opportunity has presented itself to business owners who are ahead of the curve and willing to try something they may be uncomfortable with due to the “techie” aspects of anything internet-related.

Stop worrying about the “techie” stuff keeping you from growing your business. EG Online Marketing’s Atlanta Internet Marketing accomplishes for you.

If your business does not show up near the front of the search engine results for your relevant keywords (what potential customers are typing into Google searching for your services) you are essentially “closed for business”. You might as well have chosen a low-traffic location for your business, kept the lights turned off, boarded up the windows and taken down the sign out front. Our Atlanta Internet Marketing programs can make your website visible online through several very affordable services we offer. Please visit our redesigned website to learn more about our programs and contact us to discuss how we can propel your sales and help you track your results.

Google Local To Charge For Highlighted Listings

In Googles great effort to find ways to generate more money outside of their adwords and adsense programs they have found a way to generate $25 monthly.  Yes, its true Google wants to offer you a listing enhancement for your Google Local listing.  Here is how I found out….

A few weeks back I was checking my local listings I keep for clients and saw an ad for it there smack in the middle of the page.  Below is a screen shot of the listing.

Enhanced Google Local Listing Highlighted

I didn’t really bother with it because it didn’t look like something that would make much difference.  Well, yesterday my client in San Jose called and said Google called me and said that they wanted to sell me a listing on Google Maps.  I said “I promise you weren’t speaking to Google”.  Knowing the market and how much he gets solicited I knew he was taking the bait for some scam.  Google only speaks to high end Google Adwords clients as far as I am aware.  My client convinced me to call him and had an extension and a name.  I thought I was going to bust someone lying but sure enough it was Google.  Really, Google hired sales people to call on local owner verified listing?  Its odd but ok, I am listening.  I spent about 30 minutes on the phone with him gathering as much info as I could but I could tell he didn’t have much.

Here is what I learned…..San Jose CA and Houston TX are the only cities with this available to them.  You have to have a owner verified account and a certain amount of impressions.  My client has over 1800 impressions on his Google Local Listing.  You can image how long it took me to ask “can I have it for my business?” and he said “I am sorry it is only available in two markets”.  He did say it was coming soon and that they have a plan to roll it out nationally but he was not included in that plan so he did not know when.

I asked him for stats on click through rates and if they are increasing and he said “I am not sure we are planning on going over that after the program is 60 days old.  They obviously don’t want to release any data yet.

My theory is…If they have hired sales people then they are serious about this and that they want this to become the standard for all listings.  This would mean everyone would be paying $25 and no one would stand out.

Non the less it is interesting and I believe I will ask my client to be a test dummy for this project.  I normally test everything before passing it over but I obviously can’t get it.

Ryan’s Christmas Story

Its midnight on Christmas, I am up all alone..Presents are wrapped and stockings are stuffed, only the light from the Christmas tree glows. ESPN turned way down low, this is the best time of the year. I can picture my daughters face now, big ole smile with no teeth and a glare in her eye..clapping her hands from the joy inside. I wouldn’t trade my life for a million bucks..I’m more excited now then I ever was.  I can’t sleep just thinking of the morning…this is the first Christmas I don’t matter.  Jesus, your gift to me was Evie Grace and that alone cannot be replaced with ps2′s or wii’s but time with family is whats most important to me.

Merry Christmas!
