How SEO Seattle Has Helped Me Start My Business from the Ground Up


The Internet may make or break your business. These days, if you're not a savvy Internet user, you could have a hard time getting your business off the ground. You'd have an even more difficult time if you know very few Internet marketing strategies.

That's my story when I was just starting with my business. The thought of doing online marketing for my business never occurred to me. I thought I'd be fine doing things offline. Boy, was I wrong.

That's before SEO Seattle came into the picture.

As it turns out, the first thing that people do these days to find information that they need about certain things that they want to buy is to log on to the Internet. People would turn to Google, Facebook and Twitter to find anything they can about a certain product or service. They would rely on recommendations posted online.

Because I grew up without the Internet, I thought the good old ways of promoting something still work. Of course many of the things we do online to promote still do the trick, but who's to say for how much longer they'd work?

It seems that the online world has taken over much of the things that we do. And many of the things that businesses do these days to thrive hinge on how well they market their business on the Internet.

As someone who knows very little about online marketing, I knew I had to do something right away. It's either I adapt or I perish. Either I learn or find someone to help me with my online marketing efforts.

I tried calling several digital marketing companies who do SEO in Seattle. I actually got frustrated after learning how much these companies charge. I was about to give up, until David Freid of SEO Seattle, a Verti Group International Company, came into the picture.

David is one of the pioneers of SEO, so he knows what he's talking about. As a testament to his expertise and skills, he always turns up on Google's first page for SEO experts in Seattle. That says a lot about how he can help companies who are just starting out.

Not only is David a pro in his field; he makes sure that he puts his clients' best interest ahead of anything else.

To cut a long story short, SEO Seattle has helped my business grow online within a matter of weeks. I've seen tremendous amounts of growth both in traffic and leads, and my revenues are starting to pick up.

For your own sake, reach out to David of SEO Seattle for help in setting up your business online.

Devoting To The Social Media Sites?

Noticeably increasing is the time that we are devoting to the Social Media sites such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Google Plus+ and others. It was not that long ago I would find this fact more than humorous. I simply thought time spent on such sites to be a complete waste of time. At least when measuring it monetarily. Social Media had nothing to offer as a viable method of dominating a search by those looking for products and services online. Yes I was ignoring the big picture and believed that only search engines like Google and Bing to offer our clients of SEO Seattle (now a Verti Group International company) a return on investment.

That said, It is now a growing trend that most of us looking for which products and services to invest in will start with a traditional search on our choice of search engines only to end with consideration of reviews and information found in our respected online social networks. From bubble gum to motels more of us look for what others have found. I mean, lets think about this, if you have enough great reviews and followers not to mention a real online IDENTITY to protect We become more confident in our choice of the blessed products and services. Personally I feel relieved enough to end my quest for a different service or product provider when others endorse the choice. I even liken it to a type of virtual insurance. Who would have ever thought that would be the case? Five years ago, I was Seattles King of SEO. For years I would hear my name being mentioned in conversations when the of how to dominate the search engines. Still today there are companies who present themselves as SEO Seattle. So much for United States copyrights. I am the registered owner as well as hold a Washington business license for SEO Seattle LLC. My point? Those who turn to the Facebook or Twitter will find evidence and a direct line leading them to true SEO.

Today, I keep a low profile. One way I do this is by not providing links to the SEO I perform on behalf of a client. Some people may have even thought that I had dried up and blown away. Not a chance. No more talk shows for me. No more branding a clients website. Todays SEO is so much bigger than it has ever been before. It is more than just a full time job. You either need to have a working Crystal Ball or know how to decipher and remain current on Uncle Gs copyrights. It is also a good idea to pay respect to Google and their every wish. This was a tough lesson to learn for sure, especially coming from one who helped to pioneer the SEO industry by developing and perfecting the keyword stuffing method. Hey, back then it worked well enough to ensure that I always delivered as per my clients expectations. It all seems like ancient history to me now.

Some of you who are reading this may be aware of the fact that SEO Seattle LLC, a company I founded and was President for three years, was merged into a newly developed company. The company Verti Group International is where I took my leap forward to the value of online Social Networking. VGI employees were actively navigating sites such as Pinterest, Live Journal, Ning, Linkedin, (my personal favorite) and lets not forget Merchant Circle, My Space and Google Plus. The amazing fact is that users of these sites utilize them as a forum where they may ask questions about a particular companys services or products before making their decision to buy. Really!? NO average price, No average anything!? These sites cover a wide range of categories ranging from restaurants to movie theaters, from dentist to lawyers, from cars to bikes, you name it, and you can find it there. All it takes is a simple click of your mouse to get the information desired on a particular service or product.

Today, I have thousands of friends on Facebook and find myself Tweeting whenever the urge strikes me. These sites do not allow for me to get to know someone on a personal level such as a meeting for a cup of coffee however; they do make me feel good about sharing my thoughts and when the need arises reading theirs. It is important to note that while we are using these sites, that our behavior is being monitored by those with a voice and the power to post and review.

SEO Seattle is leaving the traditional SEO platform behind. We now envision a search that will end in a Social Network. Bing knows this and in my opinion, well enough said.
