What is SEO Monthly Maintenance?

Ongoing monthly maintenance includes the following

• You will receive a monthly report of your web site's current ranking within the major search engines for all identified search terms.(1)
  • We will analyze the monthly ranking reports for any issues such as dropped positions in the search engines.
  • If any monitored keyword is not in the top 10 of at least one major search engine we will provide suggestions to help raise the rankings of the lagging keyword and provide support until the keyword is ranked in the top 10.
  • If your all your keywords are in the top 10 of any one major search engine then we leave your site alone - if it isn't broken, we're not going to fix it.
• We will check your site for broken links, both internal and external, and provide a report giving exact details of any broken links including the URL and line number of each broken link.
• Upon notification of a page change we will analyze the updated page, check it uses valid HTML and does not break any search engine guidelines.
• We will develop and improve your inbound relevant links.
• We will add your site to the Urchin web statistics service. This provides web based access to full visitor information including
  • Referral information (search engine and keyword)
  • Visitor bounce rates
  • Entry and exit pages
  • Routes visitors take through your site
  • Spider activity.
  • In addition pay per click campaign tracking, goal tracking and eCommerce tracking is available. (2)
• We will suggest additional methods to drive traffic to your site, including affiliates, pay per click, additional directories submissions, paid links, and other sources as they become available.
