Hello. My name is Ilya Pozin, and I am the CEO of Affordable SEO.

For the last 11 years, I have successfully consulted 1000s of small businesses with their Internet marketing strategies.

Our own business is rated as one of America's Fastest Growing Companies by Inc. Magazine, all because of 3 magic letters, S-E-O.

I have packaged all that has worked and thrown away all that has failed, and formed Affordable SEO. A company that allows small businesses to succeed the same way we do.

Today, hundreds of small businesses rely on the results we achieve for them. We don't measure these results based on the number of visitors they bring to your website. We base it on the number of leads and sales these visitors generate for your business.

Why? Because at the end of the day, the best marketing campaign is one you can translate directly into dollars.

Common Questions

• How long does it normally take?

  Ranking on page 1 of Google, Yahoo, or Bing for a specific keyword is dependent on the amount of keywords being targeted, the individual competitiveness of each keyword, and your current site's status. Some keywords in specific niches are extremely competitive and take quite a while to start ranking well.

  This truly depends on a lot of factors such as: how long has your website been around? How well is your content written? Are you looking for local or national results? The easiest way is to get a website analysis. It’s completely free and shows you how your website currently stands and what it would take to rank it above your competitors.

  In general, we are able to show strong ranking progress in about 3-6 months depending on the amount and competitiveness of keywords targeted, and assuming your site isn't completely new or about to launch.

• How does it work?

  Search Engines use an algorithm to determine the ranking order for a given keyword. In very generic terms, there are two types of optimization activities that help your site rank: on-site and off-site optimization. The on-site work is revolved around changing textual and 'meta data' to better reflect relevancy of the keywords you are targeting. This does not involve 'keyword stuffing' but rather ensuring that on a both structural/technical level and semantic level, your site is putting the most relevant face forward to the Search Engines. Once your site is optimized with initial on-site changes, a majority of the daily work is contained within off-site work. The search engines use the amount and type of links pointing into your site to establish strength, authority, trust, and relevancy. Think of each link as a vote - except not every vote is created equal, and each vote contains specific parameters which make it more worthy, strong, and relevant. Our daily task is to build a variety of links into your site in a diverse and organic way to help build link-popularity and equity which will boost your site's ability to start ranking for its targeted keywords.

• What kind of results can I expect?

  You can expect that within a pre-stated time frame, you will see your site increase monthly for targeted keywords. Some keywords will perform better in Google than Bing or Yahoo, or vice-versa. Some keywords will shoot up to the top 5 results on page 1 of Google quicker than others. But on the whole you will see ranking increases for your targeted keywords.

  In addition, during our pre-consultation we'll ensure that targeted keywords actually have search volume behind them. Instead of targeting keywords you think are the best, our research will use various data sources to ensure that the keywords we target have many users searching for them. Therefore, once you start ranking well, you should expect to receive an increased amount of search engine traffic on a monthly basis. Our ongoing analysis will then ensure that we concreased amount of search engine traffic on a monthly basis. Our ongoing analysis will then ensure that we continue to target the keywords and segments of traffic that will bring you the most leads, sales, or any other measure of success. This will ensure a month on month positive ROI.

• Do you guarantee results?

  Although we don't guarantee exact results, we can guarantee that you will indeed increase in ranking for many of your keywords - often times much quicker than our stated timeframe. In addition, we can guarantee that if your set keywords have search volume, once you begin to rank well your search engine traffic will begin to increase with your rankings month on month.

• When should I stop optimizing?

  SEO is an amazing online marketing tool in that it's the gift that keeps on giving - once ranking, you can bring in quality organic traffic every day. However, if you stop optimizing on-site content or stop building links into your site, your rankings will drop. Often times this drop is significant and quite soon after a cessation in optimization activity. So while stopping is not advised, we can always alter our set of targeted keywords to start ranking for others while still trying to maintain current rankings. It is by this principle that we will work together in building our ongoing dynamic strategy to improve rankings, search traffic, and most importantly your ROI.

• Will design changes impact the results?

  Your current site design may either help or hurt results. If your site is designed in all Flash, it might take longer to rank and will require some heavier on-site tweaks to help optimize. If your site is built on a CMS (content management system), we'll be able to quickly make on-site changes that will help increase your ranking potential. Major structural changes to the site are usually not necessary. Keep in mind that graphical or other aesthetic changes usually have nothing to do with SEO - we only usually tweak elements connected to text, URL structure, and things in your HTML code.

• Can I see reports on my visitors?

  Every month we will send you an in-depth report containing ranking progress on all keywords and a traffic report from all search engines. The data will be analyzed and presented in an easy to digest summary which will help illustrate your ROI and bottom line increases as a result of SEO.
