FAQ

When will we see results? It will take a while depending on what results you expect what for. Some keywords might even take a year or more while others may work after weeks or months. Perform a thorough keyword and market research first to know. Also SEO is basically a continuous process that never stops.
Can we rank for "Android Phones"? Do you sell Android Phones? Are you a representative of Sprint? Do you sell Android iPhones in Toledo or nation-wide? Do you want to spend 50k+$ on SEO monthly? Then maybe yes.
Can we rank for everything (huge list of keywords)? If you are Jeff Bezos and your site is Amazon you probably can. In all other cases you have to choose and set preferences. You have to determine your main keywords, a few of them, and go after them. Your main keywords are the most popular and profitable ones. A hotel in San Francisco would go after "San Francisco hotel" probably and similar combinations.
How much does SEO cost? How much does a car cost, or a house? First we need to know what kind of car or house you need then we can try to assess the price. Otherwise we can just say somewhere in between 1k and 1 million dollars per month. Everything below 1k is low quality and/or automated.
Why is SEO so expensive? Why are cars and houses so expensive? Because it takes lots of time, resources and work to build them. Besides SEO makes your website actually earn money while setting up website and designing it by itself does not. So at the end of the day SEO earns more money that it takes. Also remember that SEO is not just like a house or car. It’s more like a shop or a hotel when it comes to the house metaphor and it’s more like a race car when it comes to the car metaphor.
How to submit my new site to Google/Bing/Yahoo etc.? You don’t submit sites to search engines these days. You link to them from already indexed sites, you ping them via blog posts and or you submit an XML sitemap.
Do I need an XML sitemap? Generally sites with more than a hundred pages benefit from this.
Do I need meta tags for SEO? No, the meta description tag is good for search users though who might decide whether they click on yours based on the description you offer.
Do I need a high PageRank for SEO? Google's Toolbar PageRank (the green bar in your Google toolbar) is not a prerequisite. We have had sites reach #1 for high-value terms with no page rank.
Can my sister's husband, who is a PhP, Java and C programmer do my SEO? Programmers often underestimate the difficulty of SEO and attempt to to attain rankings by creating scripts that automatically enhance websites. They also have a limited or erroneous understanding of what is important for ranking, and no understanding of what is important for conversion. But yes, try this, and then come back to us in a couple of months. :)
