SEO for Websites

Our SEO package is a turbo boost for your web site. It is an on-site update that maximizes the placement and utility of the data you enter into the Masterpiece software. This is done at the metatdata (unseen) layer of the site. Google and other search robots looks first to this layer of the web site for details of the individual pages of the site. Here we control the tagging of the data to optimize how the robots find, identify and index the information. This is a one-time effort that has proven very effective in raising the overall performance of the web site. The price of the service is $950.

We do recommend that you also engage a SEO marketing resource that will help with the daily activity of promoting your site on the Internet. This includes using social media, press releases and other methods to draw real attention as well as back-links to your web site. These links and activity are a critical criteria Google uses to rank web sites. Here is a link to learn more about this. The pyramid graphic is very good. Masterpiece would be responsible of the dark blue criteria. An SEO marketing professional would help you with the light blue elements.
