Do You Have Contracts?

There is no long-term contract for our Local SEO Services. You may cancel our service at anytime, or you can upgrade or down-grade from one monthly plan to another whenever you would like. You also get to keep all the work that was implemented. In exchange for your monthly fees, we agree to provide our expert skills to apply Google approved tactics and strategies to help you get more listings on page one of search engines.

What Can I Expect?

We hope you will start seeing results after the first quarter; however, we ask that you understand that you may not see results for 3 to 6 months depending on how well optimized your competitor websites are.

Our goal to make this program profitable for you as quickly as possible, so we focus on the tasks and strategies that do the heavy lifting first, then focus on the fine adjustments later.

Our Local SEO Process is designed to take about 6 months (2 quarters) to get the initial work completed, then fine tune and continue to add to the results every month after that. Websites with more pages and more content tend to get better results, but also require more time and effort to optimize.

In summary, predicting results of any SEO effort is difficult. Your results will be dependent on several factors that are beyond our control – such as the number of competitors in your area, their content and domain authority, your starting page rankings, content and domain authority, plus any changes that Google makes that affect rankings.

Like any marketing strategy, you won't know if it works until you test it - and the sooner you get started, the sooner you'll know if it works.

Do You Have Any Guarantees?

Just so we’re all very clear, SEO is not a guaranteed science. Our program is simply an agreement to provide work for your company’s website. Our promise is that we will execute the plan that is outlined in our Local SEO service to the best of our abilities, and that we believe that plan helps improve Search Engine rankings for local businesses.

This simple reality is that Google changes their search engine ranking algorithms frequently, and those changes are trade secrets of Google. Last year, Google made well over 400 changes to the algorithm - more than 1 per day. We will change our tactics as Google changes their algorithms, but we cannot predict the future of SEO or your future rankings on any search engine (just like the financial experts cannot predict the stock market).

Also, as a certified third-party supplier of Google services, Google prohibits Third Marble from guaranteeing any results. (Beware – If someone else is guaranteeing their Local SEO results, you may not be talking to an official Google third-party provider.)

How Does Local SEO Benefit Me & My Business?

Obviously, get more business from Google.

What Are Citations?

Basically, citations are your businesses information – like phone number, address, email and other business information on other websites. By creating and constantly updating citations, Google gets consistent confirmation that you are a real business and you keep current with your internet information. All things being equal, a company with good citations will tend to out-rank all the competitors.

These websites that list your business's information also appear on page one of Google, so by being on these citation websites, you also increase the chances of getting leads organically.

The citation websites that we work with are all recognized by Google as quality websites and the backlinks from these websites can help improve your search engine results. Google loves businesses with numerous high-quality citations. Only a popular business would have their information on so many websites.

What Is Onsite SEO?

Your website pages contain hidden descriptions, tags and schema that Google uses to determine what keywords your website will rank for. When all the stars are aligned, Google knows exactly what each of your web pages and blog posts are about.

Think of each of your web pages as if they were a book sitting on a shelf in the library. If you quickly wanted to know what that book was about, you would read the title, the description on the back cover, the headlines on the chapters and maybe look through the book for the images.

Each page on your website has similar elements to a book. By giving Google enough clues in your web page's titles, descriptions, headlines, images and other key elements, Google doesn’t have to work very hard to figure out what keywords are relevant to your web pages.

Like the book indexing system at the library, Google then indexes your pages based on those relevant keywords so people can find them.

Backlinking is Still Important for SEO

Backlinks from quality content can help Google understand the importance of a web page. Done correctly, building links help increase the Page Authority of the page that's being optimized, as well as the Domain Authority, which can improve that page's ranking on Google.

Are Backlinks Included?

With all of Third Marble's SEO Plans, some basic some backlinking is included. It is important to note that backlinking to webpages that have sub-optimal on-page optimization is often a waste of time and money.

Third Marble typically waits until after most of the initial on-page optimizations have been completed before starting to build backlink campaigns.

(If you would like a more aggressive backlinking strategy, ask our Support Team about our Backlink Booster Add-on Plans.)

Bringing it all together:

At a high level, the strategy is fairly straight-forward:

Optimized tags and other onsite elements make it easy for Google to index your web pages for keywords relevant to your business.
Reviews tell Google you’re the best in your area.
Citations confirm to Google that you're very active online in your geographic area.
After the content is optimized, continuously build backlinks to boost domain authority.

Then, each month, we continuously react to Google's ever-changing SEO algorithm by re-optimizing pages and making other changes to comply with the latest Google SEO standards.
