Think about when you have to blow your nose.\u00a0 Do you say, \u201cI need a tissue,\u201d or \u201cI need Kleenex\u201d?\u00a0 It\u2019s the same with Band-Aid.\u00a0 Is there even another name to refer to it?<br \/>\nAt Impact Media we offer what is called <strong>Search Engine Optimization<\/strong>.\u00a0 That means we work diligently to make sure your website is not only found, but as close to the top of the list as possible when someone searches for your product or service in your area.\u00a0 While we do optimize for Yahoo and Bing, they account for only 11 and 5 percent of the search engine market.\u00a0 That\u2019s why we\u2019re obsessed with Google.\u00a0 That\u2019s what people are going to use and that\u2019s the main gauge we use to determine how effective our <strong>SEO<\/strong> is for a company.\u00a0 When someone searches for computer repair, or mortgage broker, if you come up 15th on the Google results, how many people do you think are going to go through the first fourteen and not choose someone?\u00a0 They\u2019re going to choose from the top five to ten they see.<br \/>\nNow there are plenty of <strong>SEO<\/strong> companies out there and they will spout off statistic after statistic of what your return-on-investment will be with them.\u00a0 They will make claims how they are a transparent company with nothing to hide. Then they will lock you into a year long contract and if you don\u2019t think they\u2019re doing a good job for you, then your stuck in a bad contract. I have sat in on two different local <strong>SEO<\/strong> companies presentations and both used these tactics.\u00a0 My questions was, \u201cWhy do you even need to say that?\u00a0 If you\u2019re so good and so transparent, give me a name of one of your <strong>SEO<\/strong> clients and let\u2019s google them.\u00a0 Let\u2019s find out how good you are.\u00a0 At Impact Media there are no contracts for <strong>SEO<\/strong>.\u00a0 Our goal is to get you as high up that Google Search as possible and if you aren\u2019t seeing a return on your investment, fire us.\u00a0 We can say that, because we\u2019re that good.<br \/>\nAt Impact Media we\u2019re not here just to market you to <strong>Wilmington<\/strong>, we\u2019re here to market you to the world.\u00a0 That starts with your website and ends with your <strong>SEO<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you very much,<\/p>\n<address>C.S.
