If you want fast and temporary results, you are referring to the black hat SEO and this service is not for you! We only deliver long-term SEO result at a very affordable price!

First of all, we strongly believe that you need to know the basic of SEO before engaging any SEO services. Why? Because it is easy to get lured into paying for services that don’t deliver as promised or you are paying TOO MUCH for the service.

Let’s get down to the basic.

Broadly speaking, there are only two things to consider if you want to rank for a particular keyword: on-page SEO and off-page SEO. On-page SEO is how well your page is optimized for search engines while off-page SEO is the links (or backlinks) you get from other sites. We call this process SEO link building.

For an SEO expert, it normally takes less than half a day to research the keywords and probably another half a day to implement the keywords to a page. If you already have your own keywords to target, you can save up to half the money.

For non-competitive keywords in which few people are targeting, you can get them on the first page of search engines by optimizing your page WITHOUT any link building. On the other hand, if the keywords are competitive, you need to optimize your page both on-page and off-page.

One way to know whether the keywords you are going to target are competitive or not is to use the Google keyword tool. Enter your keyword in the box and you’ll get the number of searches in the previous month and the monthly average. In general, keywords with less searches are less competitive and easier to rank but keep in mind that there are some exceptions and you can’t depend on this tool alone.

Avoid SEO companies which
1) promise link back from 1000 (some even 10,000) websites within a short period of time

2) charge you for search engine submission

3) promise to get your site on the first page of search engines within 1 month.

Since it is a single post/page, the keywords in the <h1> tag will always be static.
