Advanced SEO Services

Advanced SEO services can take your site to the next level. We’re talking firms which spend their days analyzing changes in Google algorithms with a fine tooth comb and finding the most successful solutions for their clients.

Big solutions often mean big money – so before you go and spend thousands on getting your site ship-shape for Google, here’s a mini-guide to finding genuine, professional search engine optimzation services.

There are some so called advanced SEO services who will guarantee to get you to the top of Google. These companies are best avoided, or if you’re considering a company with a guarantee that is similar – do your background research.

How can a third-party firm guarantee results in something it has no influence over? Here's something for you to think about...

True SEO is a Myth!

If you think you or any firm can keep up with Google’s automated algorithms which can change more frequently than it matters, you’re getting yourself into an endless game.

Only those on the inside of Google will have a chance at keeping up – and even then, you probably wouldn’t be able to match the bots and there would almost definitely be a clause in your working contract about keeping Google’s secrets quiet!

Companies offering guarantees-to-the-top are ALWAYS on the back foot. They are watching in and reacting to what has already happened. Whilst they may be able to predict what is going to happen, and source good ways to optimize for algorithms – it’ll always be just that; a prediction.

Think of a weatherman. Weather services invest huge sums of money into predicting the weather and putting together forecasts. Are they always right? No! They’re looking at changes already in process, and are looking at past occurrences to predict what will happen next.

Advanced SEO services should think smartly and not try and fix two pieces of a jigsaw together with such fluid companies like Google. Genuine optimization is ensuring that your pages are well targeted towards your specific keyword. You should make the search engines want to rank you high by tickling all the right spots, rather than ‘just provide the right answer’.

What do you reckon is the more sustainable solution? Targeting your site and it’s pages to specific keywords, or chasing fluid algorithms?

So where should I go for Advanced SEO services?

Wherever you go, you should always find someone who can talk to you and tailor a solution to your site – don’t buy a “package”. You should look for proof that they know what they’re talking about, reference them with other clients and any articles or reviews on them. You should feel able to take over the reigns at any time – think of SEO as tutoring. Ideally, you need to understand search engine optimization enough to make your own judgements.
