Keyword Analysis: When we do a keyword search analysis we use Google’s Keyword Tool to estimate the number of times people search for a particular keyword. This number only represents people searching on Google’s Network, which includes, (aboutus.com, Lycos, nytimes.com, infospace.com, howstuffworks.com, business.com and HGTV.com).

<p><strong><span class="style30">Keyword Analysis</span></strong>: When we do a keyword search analysis we use<strong> Google’s Keyword Tool</strong> to estimate the number of times people search for a particular keyword. This number only represents people searching on Google’s Network, which includes, (aboutus.com, Lycos, nytimes.com, infospace.com, howstuffworks.com, business.com and HGTV.com). It is estimated that 80% of search results come through Google’s Network. (Total search volume does not include search results from Yahoo, MSN or other search engines). <strong>Important note</strong>: With any successful SEO campaign your website will also appear on other search engines. But our main focus is Google, Yahoo and MSN, which is now Bing. When calculating the number of search results per month we only use Google’s Network, which is a conservative number. </p>
<p><strong><span class="style30">Estimating Number of Visitors</span></strong>: Once your website is ranked for the majority of keywords we estimate <strong><span class="style20">3%</span></strong> of traffic will visit your website on a monthly basis. Statistics for this calculation have been steady over the years with many studies and surveys being conducted.  Once a website achieves high rankings for targeted keywords the industry standard is 2% to 7%. <U>We are using the lower percentage to calculate number of visitors to a site</U>.</p>
<p><strong><span class="style30">Estimating Number of Leads</span></strong>: Once we understand the number of visitors to a particular website, the next step is to turn these visitors into leads. The number of visitors that reach out to you via email, contact form or phone will depend on how well your website is designed and the type of <strong>call to action</strong> you use to get prospect to request more information. </p>
<p>Based on our knowledge, experience and talking with our clients we can accurately calculate this ratio. A well-designed website that is consumer friendly with quality content, we estimate this ratio to be around<strong><span class="style20"> 5%</span></strong>. Here again there have been many studies and surveys conducted to estimate this number. Industry standards are 2% to 10%. <u>We are using 5% as our number when calculating number of leads</u>. <strong>Important note</strong>: We work with our clients to make sure their websites are a great resource. We can offer suggestions and advice based on years of experience. We also provide a web design for our clients and we can provide you a quote for this service. </p>
<p><strong><span class="style30">Close Ratio</span></strong>: This is the all important number because the higher this ratio the more homes sale you will close. Obviously, this ratio is a difficult one to nail down and varies greatly depending on how aggressive your company is in following up with the leads generated from your website. Close ratios vary from 2% to 10% on average. The type of products you offer, the size of your footprint in a particular market and the level of professionalize will ultimately determine this ratio. Based on our experience with working with clients in the housing industry we estimate this ratio to be around <strong><span class="style20">2%</span></strong>. </p>

<p>We  have done our best to put forth what we believe to be fair and accurate  estimates based on our experience and knowledge of your industry. First Page  Google Results cannot guarantee the interest of a particular product or service.  We withhold the right to make changes if necessary.</p>
<p>It  is our goal to help your company dominate your local search results. We base  our success on your success. We take great pride in providing the best customer  service possible and assisting our customers in any way to gain their trust and  business.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><span class="style1">Get on the First Page of Popular Search engines and see how it will transform your business!</span></strong></p>
<p>Welcome to First Page Google Results. I bet you’re here because you are searching for information about SEO (search engine optimization services), and you’re looking for a company to help you get the rankings you need for your business to thrive on the major search engines.</p>
<p>
  <object width="524" height="318" align="middle"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/man_8flB5AE&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1&#038;"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/man_8flB5AE&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1&#038;" width="524" height="318" align="middle" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object>
</p>
<p><span class="yellow"><strong><img src="http://firstpagegoogleresults.com/images/greenarrows.gif" width="257" height="148" align="right" />Search Engine Optimization</strong> is quickly becoming a necessary component for every business.</span> Search engine optimization requires hard work and patience; more than anything else, it requires that a website is a useful resource. It would make no sense for Google, Yahoo and MSN, which is now Bing to recommend your website if it was a terrible resource.</p>
<p>Our first priority at First Page Google Results is to make your website a useful resource because getting visitors to click on your site and leave does you no good. While we work with you to create an incredible resource, we also work to increase your website search engine rankings. If your website is already a great resource, and many are, our job is that much easier. </p>
<p>Ask yourself, is my phone ringing more or less?  Is my current advertising costing me money or making me money? Only you know the answer to those questions, but I can make a pretty accurate and educated assumption&#8230;Your phone is probably ringing less if you are relying on yellow page or newspaper ads. We have the expertise to develop a powerful search engine optimization strategy for your company that works. Important statistics for housing professionals, <a href="http://firstpagegoogleresults.com/ratios-for-home-sales/">click here</a>.</p>
<p>The answer is not more print advertising or a bigger ad with more color. The real reason you’re not generating more sales is because your website is not ranked for keyword phrases on popular search engines. Can newspaper or classified ads help? The answer is yes, but the reality of our economy today is that people have changed the way they shop for products and services. </p>
<p>In a recent survey conducted by <span class="yellow">Hebert Research Group</span>, they found that home buyers spend an average of six months researching their options before they buy. <U>It is estimated that over 75% use the Internet to research companies, products and builders.</U></p>
<p align="center"><strong><span class="style1">Testimonial</span></strong></p>
<p>&quot;<strong><em>When my company finally landed on the FIRST PAGE of Google for several &#8216;POPULAR&#8217; keywords, my business took off.</em></strong>&quot; Toby Wyatt
</p>
<p><strong>Below are some examples</strong>:
</p>
<p><img src="http://firstpagegoogleresults.com/images/google1.gif" width="530" height="257"></p>
<p><img src="http://firstpagegoogleresults.com/images/google2.gif" width="530" height="257"></p>
<p><span class="style1">If you are not dominating the search results in your local market, then you are missing out on most of your potential customers.</span></p>
<p>If your business belongs in a specific search market, i.e. if you’re a home builder in Phoenix, and your company website does not appear on the first page for popular keyword phrases like; Phoenix home contractor or home builder Phoenix you’ve got a problem. Not only are you missing these leads but your competitors are getting them, instead of you. First Page Google Results can help! </p>
<p>First Page Google Results helped Modular Homes Network achieve some amazing results on a national scale. If we can accomplish high rankings for very compeditive keywords like, “Modular Homes” and “Modular Housing”, just think what we can do for your website in your market(s)? </p>
<p>First Page Google Results is a reputable SEO Company that specializes in building and marketing websites for the housing industry. We are an industry leader at building websites that professionally reflect your image, and successfully market your services to potential home buyers. In a couple of months we can have your website on the first page of Google, Yahoo and Bing, which will produce quality leads each and every month. </p>
<p>Our SEO clients never worry about what happens in the housing market because they know our service generates new leads. A steady stream of leads is the lifeblood of any business and with our SEO service you will see an increase in prospects requesting information about your company, services and products. </p>
<p><span class="style1"><strong>Purchasing Leads from a 3rd Party?</strong></span>:</p>
<p>If you are buying leads through Service Magic, Modular Home  Center, Modulars.com or other lead generating sources you’re probably not  satisfied with the results. These leads typically have a low close ratio. It  may take 100 or 200 leads just to generate one sale. Who has the time to follow  up on 150 leads just to make one sale? </p>
<p><span class="style1"><strong>What about Adwords?</strong></span></p>
<p>A number of our clients have tried AdWords to generate more  leads. AdWords is owned by Google and you can bid for certain keywords for your  markets. Your ad appears on the right hand column on Google’s Network,  “Sponsored Search Results”. Based on what our clients have said most were  spending $500 to $1,000 per month on using this approach. Using our SEO service we  can eliminate your Adwords budget altogether. Yes, you read correctly. Using a quality  SEO approach we can generate the same volume of visitors, usually a lot more  through our SEO efforts for a lot less!</p>
<p><span class="style1">Your return on investment is huge so don’t  delay – call us today at 1-888-770-2830 or fill out our form below to receive a  free quote. </span></p>
<p>If you’re serious about generating more leads and getting your information in front of hundreds if not thousands of potential home buyers then please fill out the form below. </p>
<p>After we receive your information we will contact you by phone to discuss your situation. We can prepare a written proposal for your review after our phone conversation. We also can provide referrals upon request. There is no obligation to buy, start today and learn how we can get your website ranked before your competitors.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We know that your business is your lifeline, and the blood in that lifeline is traffic. Achieving first page rankings on popular search engines takes time, effort, and most importantly, expertise. We know that your business requires a search engine optimization company that will deliver results.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-83" title="seo" src="http://firstpagegoogleresults.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/seo.gif" alt="seo" width="255" height="196" hspace="8"/>Qualified search engine optimization companies know that SEO is not a product, despite the fact that it is sold as a product across the web. It is a service, which must be custom tailored to fit the needs of each business. We have the expertise to develop a powerful search engine optimization strategy for your company that works. We work individually with each client to learn about their business needs, their industry, and relevant search engine demographics. We do not sell &#8220;off the shelf&#8221; packages that do not get results. We provide our clients with valuable, individualized service that delivers search engine results.</p>
<p>Many people believe search optimization is about fixing some meta tags or other page code, and that is the end of it. This is one of many search engine myths. We know that search engine optimization is not merely about fixing meta tags or page code. Of course, this is a first step, but in most cases it is not enough. If that is all it took, everybody would be #1. Obviously, this is an impossibility, as there is only room for one &#8220;top dog&#8221;.</p>
<p>We educate our clients on the need for a two-pronged approach of both &#8220;on page&#8221; and &#8220;off page&#8221; search engine optimization. The on page aspect is the traditional approach, rectifying problems with page code and structure so as to render a site relevant to given search queries and friendly to search engines. It all begins with effective keyphrase research and competitive intelligence.</p>
<p>The second, and often most important (and most effective) aspect of the search engine optimization process is the off page work. Typically, this is done on an ongoing basis for a period of between six and twelve months. This involves creating content (or search engine copywriting), article distribution and syndication, blogging, social networking and natural link building. This aspect of a project is what separates those at the top from the other 10,000,000 web sites in the search results.</p>
<p>At First Page Google Results, we know how to make the search engines work for you! Give us a call or <a href="http://firstpagegoogleresults.com/contact-us/">contact us</a>.</p>
