No. I only support websites that I have fully built and can 100% stand behind. There are risks involved with updating websites that multiple people have worked on. I do not want to be liable for bad coding, plugin issues, outdated themes and WordPress versions.

I am happy to make you a new modern website, which I will support after completion, if you wish.  Most of my work is building a new, more professional, modern, and SEO friendly WordPress website from scratch to replace old, unstable and outdated websites.

Many website owners contact me to redo sites they had built by a “friend”. Or sites built with a D-I-Y, drag and drop website builder such as SquareSpace, Wix, or GoDaddy’s Website Builder. Or sites made a long time ago using outdated HTML or are running an old WordPress sites that is non- responsive, meaning they do not function or look good in mobile devices.

Content (copy and images) are extremely important, as well as font size, layout of the content, having enticing headers, clear calls to action, and more. All of my expertise is included in a website build and audits.  I will tweak existing content you may have for the web, many copywriter write for print and editorial and not web standards, I will fix content to be easily scanned and written for the web.  I can also write copy for you.

On-site web design best practices and elements required for SEO and conversion tactics are included in my web design pricing.  I am passionate about the user experience (UX)  and conversion optimization so visitors to your website take the action you want them to take (call you, fill out a form, buy something, whatever you want).

ABSOLUTELY!! That’s why you hire an expert.

I implement my fully-rounded skillset in WordPress web design, SEO, social media and online marketing to advise you on having a professional and effective website!

I stay on top of trends and the latest technology and will advise you when you have no clue what you want and also steer you clear of things that annoy visitors to a website. I will give you my honest opinion backed by 20 years experience of online marketing and web design.

I love to help clients reach and engage more customers. All of my clients learn a lot along the way! It is refreshing to see how energized my clients become and start to become way more involved in marketing their own business and coming up with their own ideas.

Adding local keyword SEO to your website  results in stronger brand recognition and also increases conversion (call, book, reserve, join, watch, download, etc.) on your site. I can help you with local SEO on your website.

Just because you have a website you do not automatically get found in the search pages when someone is looking for your service/products. Google, Yahoo and Bing are search engines. If people cannot find your business online it is because it is not optimized for search engines (SEO). This can be the kiss of death for your business growth.

I shoot for a four to eight week turnaround, more complex sites may take more time.

On-site web design best practices and elements required for SEO and conversion tactics are included in my web design pricing.

I am passionate about the user experience (UX)  and conversion optimization so visitors to your website take the action you want them to take (call you, fill out a form, buy something, what ever you want).

Psychology, color theory and persuasion tactics also included.

Off-site marketing, for instance, paid ads, link building etc. is not included

Site audits are when you pay someone (me) to forensically examine your website with many tools and my eyes utilizing my knowledge and expertise to tell you what is good and what is not so good about your site.  I will give you a full report that prioritizes which issues need to be fixed.

• Site Health: Assessing general site health and issues such as traffic and rankings drop and suggested fixes.
• Red Flags: Assessing a site for potential penalty issues, – is Google punishing you?
• Competitive Analysis: Checking your competitors to see what opportunities there are for your site growth.
• Conversion Optimization: Analyze conversion issues, Do people visit your site but don’t take an action (buy/contact you)?
• Negative SEO or Attacked Site: Analyze downturns in site metrics when we know a site (or thought very likely) has been attacked by negative SEO methods.

Depending upon your budget, I will also include a spreadsheet of on page changes to SEO titles and descriptions.

It is hard to say how much your audit will cost without first talking to you and doing a mini-review of your website, obviously larger websites will be more time consuming to research and recommend fixes, than smaller sites. Large agencies charge upwards of $5,000 for the same services that I offer at a much reduced fee.

SEO is the best way to reach your target audience and grow your business!

Investing in SEO, through time and money, can have an exceptional rate of return on your investment compared to other types of marketing, like expensive paid advertisements and promotions. Implementing an effective SEO strategy is one of the best ways to reach your target customer and to grow your business.

Nope! All work is done in the USA by me!

I live in Santa Monica, California, and never outsource my work to off-shore SEO “experts”. I prefer to work with local businesses in the Los Angeles area.

I will NEVER recommend shady tactics that could get you penalized by Google!

I always follow best practices and stay current with industry changes and trends. I implement white-hat SEO tactics so you do not get penalized by Google, Yahoo or Bing for being in violation of their guidelines.

Be very wary of the many self-titled SEO experts and gurus that either spam email or cold call you making unrealistic promises of guaranteed #1 rankings or that they can get you on the first page of search results. Unethical SEOs have given the industry a bad name through overly aggressive and manipulative marketing efforts, known as black hat SEO. Their shady tactics violate Google’s guidelines and may result in your site rankings to tank or even worse, have the entire site banned from showing up in Google search.

“While you consider whether to go with an SEO, you may want to do some research on the industry. Google is one way to do that, of course. You might also seek out a few of the cautionary tales that have appeared in the press, including this article on one particularly aggressive SEO: http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/businesstechnology/2002002970_nwbizbriefs12.html. While Google doesn’t comment on specific companies, we’ve encountered firms calling themselves SEOs who follow practices that are clearly beyond the pale of accepted business behavior. Be careful.”
