SEO Client's Testimonials

"I first started working with Aaron a number of years ago on a mutual client's website. We really turned that business around, and today they're ranking on page 1 for all of their target terms, with a much-improved look and user experience as well. Aaron did the vast majority of the work on this project--I just offered a little specific guidance here and there. Since then, I've worked with Aaron on a number of other projects as well, and been very impressed with his knowledge of SEO. In fact, when I get requests from potential clients whom I cannot take due to a conflict with an existing client, I send them to Aaron."

Michael Cottam Freelance SEO Consultant

"I own PrintingCenterUSA and Aaron has helped us grown our online rankings over 8 years. He has guided us through link penalties, multiple site redesigns, and condensed our website. He is always informing us about Google algorithm updates helping us stay one step ahead of our competition. We rank 1 for Calendar Printing, Booklet Printing, and Catalog Printing.”

Craig Barber Owner

"I hired Aaron Rains to improve the ranking of my website after going through at least a dozen different SEO providers over 5+ years. My site had consistently ranked very poorly for years. In less than a year after Aaron took over the SEO, my website’s rankings significantly improved, with it ranking on the first page for many relevant keywords. I also saw a significant increase in traffic to the website, and for the first time in years my website actually started to generate business. I highly recommend Aarons Rains. "

German Yusufov Attorney

Our company has seen consistent increases in Google key terms. This is huge for us being a company that solely sells online. I would recommend Aaron's services to others. ”

Hiring An SEO Consultant "Important Questions To Ask"

Q

Reporting if the job is successful, and understanding

How often do you report on the job you're doing, and how do I know if it's successful?

A

SEO reporting is not as complicated as you might think. You want to make sure you start with a baseline. How much traffic are you currently getting, how many keywords are currently ranking on the website, and overall keyword rankings? In my past experience, set a 3-month Goal based on these metrics. SEO will change from week to week so monthly reporting is vital but be open to allocating resources to the opportunity that may appear each month that will bring cash to the bottom line.

Q

Link building approach

What Is Your Link Building Strategy?

A

Link building and keyword research can make or break your SEO strategies. Google still puts a lot of importance on backlinks but they continue to enforce their guidelines. There are a lot of link schemes and blog networks you want to stay away from. When it comes to link building, the days of getting dozen of links each month are gone. Part of my job description is to focus on the quality of links and creating real partnerships with the local community and experts in your online industry. Follow Google's rules and make sure to use the No-Follow attribute for paid or advertising links.

Q

Length Projects

How long does it take to see positive SEO results?

A

Start with a 3-month search engine optimization strategy that focuses on best practices. Normally, in my experience, the first month is fixing technical issues and planning. Once you execute new content and start backlink it takes a month or even longer to see new keywords and increase of rankings. Meet weekly and review positive and negative changes. Be aware that Google updates the algorithm weekly so you will see fluctuation. 3 months is a good amount of time to analyze your progress.

Q

Working with competitors

Are you working with any other website in my industry?

A

Most SEO experts will tell you if they are working with competitors in your space, "This is up to your discretion, whether to work with them." To be honest, you want to work with an SEO consultant who has worked in your space and understands the type of content and strategies to rank in your queries.

Q

Who you will talk with on a regular basis

Who will I be talking with on a regular basis?

A

Part of my job description is directly communicating with the people who hired me. I personally prefer a weekly meeting, project manager board "Trello," skype or Slack channel to help communicate. When communication breaks down, my consulting service work does not get done. Search engine optimization can be active as it can change daily, so being able to communicate what is happening with ranking or taking advantage of what is happening in the world can impact SEO.

Q

Cost expectations

What are my cost expectations?

A

SEO is ongoing and you should not invest in a consulting service if you can't afford it. Don't hire if you need a fast fix. An SEO audit won’t save your website. Investing in numerous SEO services that focuses on best practices is a great plan to increase free traffic for the future of your online business.
