Technical SEO
When we say “technical SEO”, we’re referring to the really geeky stuff that web developers do to ensure your website is meeting Google’s expectations for certain technical characteristics. Put simply, search engines don’t see websites the same way that humans do (at least not yet), which is why it’s important that your website is built using search-friendly coding and sound website architecture to ensure that search bots are able to properly crawl and index your website content.

Can We Guarantee Page One Google Rankings?
Unfortunately we've received many phone calls from business owners that were scammed by fly-by-night SEO companies in the past who claimed they could deliver "page one Google rankings in 30 days or less". Can an SEO agency really guarantee results like that? Sure. But that's an easy promise to make if your only expectation is to rank on page one for any keyword of their choosing (like your business name).
What you really want to is to rank highly in search results for important and relevant keywords - the kind that real users type into search engines when looking for businesses like yours. The reality is that ranking for these types of searches has become very competitive as more and more companies have entered the online arena. Google is also changing its algorithm constantly to ensure the most accurate and reputable results are shown first to its users - after all, that is how they make money!
These factors make it impossible for any respected Kansas City web design agency to guarantee specific search results, no more than a weatherman can offer a guaranteed forecast. What we can do, however, is tell you that we're very confident in our ability to increase your business' overall search visibility, and we can show you our results to prove it. Better yet, we also track our progress from month-to-month with transparent reporting that is summarized using plain English so that you're never left guessing about the ROI of your efforts.
