Understanding SEO Guarantees

The guarantees offered by other SEO companies may seem enticing, but it is important to understand what is really ensured by their offers.

Many SEO companies provide bold guarantees that identify specific search engine placements. Unfortunately these claims are disingenuous and misleading. No company can guarantee positioning on the major search engines for important keywords. This is especially true considering when the SEO company makes this claim without ever viewing your web site.

If you are looking for a top position for a specific keyword on a certain search engine, the only truly guaranteed method is advertising. All of the major search engines provide pay-per-click or paid placement advertising services. While purchasing keyword advertising on search engines is expensive, it is the only fool-proof method for placing a link to your site at a specific location on a search engine.

The most unfortunate element of most SEO guarantees is the focus on placements rather than results. There are over 10,000 sites classified as search engines, but there are only 12 major engines of which 4 generate the vast majority of search queries. While improving placement on obscure search engines is not valuable to the customer, it often fulfills the guarantees of SEO providers.

Obscure, case-sensitive keywords repeated on multiple engines do not equal traffic. Any company can achieve top placement of long, rarely-used but related phrases.

What They Guarantee

Guaranteed listing of 30 key phrases in the top 30 results on the major search engines

How They Do It
  1. Select a common keyword with limited competition
  2. Add an uncommon adjective or two to the keyword phrase
  3. Create a gateway page targeting this full phrase
  4. Wait for search engines to index this gateway page
  5. Demonstrate placement on as many engines as possible
  6. Count case-sensitive queries for each engine
  7. Add in related placements that make it into the top 3 result pages

A properly optimized gateway for an obscure keyword will rank quickly on a variety of engines.

1 keyword x 3 variations x 10 engines = 30 placements

The service contract is fulfilled with a couple of hours invested in the development of a gateway page that does not mesh with your existing site, does not generate substantial traffic and does not service the needs of your visitors. Their methods are designed to avoid the competition in order to meet the explicit goals of their contract.

The sad truth is that most of these companies can meet their contract obligations just by properly submitting your site to the search engines.

Your market is the most important piece of the puzzle. Every web business is unique and the identification of your goals and opportunities is critical. Without considering your existing traffic, web content, site architecture and potential market, search engine optimization is gambling. When it comes to gambling, we all know that in the long run the house always wins.

It is a sad reality that a number of disreputable companies sell services marketed as placement and search engine optimization services. Their unreasonable claims, spam advertisements and ineffective efforts continue to damage the reputation of an entire industry group. Please do not let this dissuade you from pursuing the benefits of search engine optimization. With a better understanding of the myriad of SEO guarantees available, we hope that it becomes easier for you to identify the worthwhile endeavors. And while there are a number of capable companies with the integrity and expertise required, we believe that at BigRank we provide the best benefit to cost ratio available.
