How to find a Bellevue Search Engine Optimization company?

There are many Bellevue Search Engine Optimization companies out there on the internet. If you are a Bellevue business owner, I am sure that you have received some form of solicitation for search engine optimization. First and foremost, I am not one of those companies! And secondly, let me take a minute of your time to explain why SEO is so vital, and a second longer to explain who I am.

A Quick Brief: Marketing 101 in 2010

In times of yore, if you needed a plumber, you whipped out your phone book (that conveniently weighs as much as a brick), thumbed through the index until you found the plumbing contractor section. Phone books were broke into a vertical index and into advertising spots, with the companies being alphabetically. The companies who had names starting with the letter A were listed before other competitors, hence the influx of businesses beginning with “AAA”. To really stand out on the page, many business owners would invest in a large, graphical ad. Before the internet got “big”, a typical 1-page ad in the phone book for Bellevue before could cost you in excess of $1,000 per month.

Phone companies would print and distribute their phone books 1-2 times per year, and consumers would by and large use them as a resource. Come 2000, the internet had begun to take hold, and the digital advertising revolution had become mainstream. As the access to technology increases, more and more people are turning to the net to find the answers to what they are looking for. People Google from their phone everyday, something internet proponents could only dream about 20 years ago. If your site can’t be found when searching on the major search engines for popular terms (no, not just your company name), then you probably have not experienced the power of internet marketing.

What is SEO and why do I need it?

The pseudo-art, psuedo-science of Search Engine Optimization in it’s most simple definition is “getting your website traffic through search engines“. Studies have shown that the top 5 organic results of any search engine will receive the majority of the traffic. Thus, getting to the top of the search engine will exponentially increase the likeliness that people will visit your website. Online data drives off-line sales, as more and more people are using the web to both find and research companies.

And who are you, JMWebdev?

I am one of many of these SEO companies out there, albeit you won’t find me wasting time making cold calls or with wasteful print mailers. I am an environmentally conscious, socially responsible SEO that provides websites that extra kick to get more traffic and be ranked highly in the major search engines. Most of my work comes from referrals from local businesses, graphic designers, political consultants, and other SEO companies. My passion is my work, and I offer my services at some of the most competitive prices on the internet.

Like a true nerd, I have been involved in web design since the late nineties and am aside myself from how far the ‘net has come. I have been using a computer longer than most people that are double, or even triple my age, starting when I was four. Being fascinated with design and engineering at a young age, my website design and search engine optimization has been the results of arts, sciences, computer programming languages, and personal experiences.

Over the years, I have designed hundreds of websites for businesses, non-profits, politicians, artists/musicians, and entrepreneurs. I live for the human experience of it all, to help bring someone’s idea to life and make it successful. Anyone can design a website, I build dreams.

Bellevue Search Engine Optimization vs Outsourcing

I hear this argument frequently, or more so that SEO is expensive. In my professional experience, I couldn’t agree more. There are a ton of large SEO companies out there that will try to take you to the cleaners if you let them. In this wonderful free-market economy, especially on the internet, price is going to be a huge determining factor for a lot of business owners. There are a lot of people who will make big claims that they simply can not backup. These people tarnish the industry for all of us legit hard-working folk.

With that being said, and to drop two more cliches, “you get what you pay for” and “garbage in, garbage out”. Good SEO is by no means cheap. Great SEO is an investment, especially upfront if you need a SEO website designed or need to fix critical SEO errors. By laying down the proper framework, your site will have longevity that could very well surpass any other ROI for your business. A website is much more than a one-time advertisement like print media is, as websites will remain on the internet nearly indefinitely.

Choosing to outsource your Bellevue Search Engine Optimization needs may be penny wise, but pound foolish. With a local Bellevue SEO company, you get:

• A local person who provides faster response, and won’t treat you like a number
• Responsible and personable
• Native English speaking with a command of the English language
• Supports your local economy
• As a Bellevue SEO, I am more than willing to take the time to explain strategy and results
• Ultimately higher quality results
