A well configured PPC or Pay-Per-Click advertising campaign is immediate but can cost a decent amount of money to get things optimized to a point where you see an ROI. PPC is also vulnerable to click fraud, a very nasty and costly trick your competitors can use to undermine your PPC efforts. Additionally, PPC’s efforts disappear the second you stop paying. PPC has no effect on your page’s ranking in search engines.
SEO, on the other hand, is slower to start, taking up to three months to get into an evolving momentum. But the rest is all good news. With SEO you’re impervious to competitors’ attacks and SEO effects are long lasting, allowing you to conquer new sets of terms regularly as your past efforts continue to succeed.

First, we’ll ask you to describe your business, market and target audience. We ask you to provide a few suggested seed keywords that you feel the website should rank for. Then, we’ll inject this data and feed it to our database tools we use here in the Utah SEO Pros facility. From this we get hundreds of related search terms along with information about how many people are searching for them and how many other web sites are competing with you for the traffic. We’ll continue to labor through the results until we have the most valuable key phrases we want to target to yield the highest amount of conversions relating to your goals and budget. Identifying keywords is the most interactive client/consultant phase.

One of the most common attributes to a failing site is its link portfolio. We take great care in checking your links and properly asking to remove them which helps get your website back into the Google index.
