			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<strong><span class="dropcap">L</span>ocal Search Engine FACT: </strong> Up to 85% of consumers, search Google, Yahoo or MSN when they are trying to find a local business&#8217;s phone number, address or directions. The Internet is free, fast, easy to use and MORE people use it to find businesses than the Yellow Pages nowadays.</p>
<p>If consumers search for something and your website doesn&#8217;t show up, your competitors&#8217; websites will&#8230;and you will lose the business.</p>
<p>At Northwest Arkansas SEO, we are offering local businesses a very competitive price on <strong>BASIC &#8220;ON-SITE&#8221; SEO SERVICES </strong>that would normally cost substantially more.  We perform the labor and SEO knowledge that is necessary for the basic optimization of a website for the search engines.</p>
<p>Our goal is to establish a good working relationship and reputation with local businesses by providing this service at a great rate.</p>
<p>Here is a general overview of all the steps provided in our <a href="http://northwestarkansasseo.com/?page_id=60">Quick-Start SEO Service Pack</a>.  Regular price:  $499.  As an introductory offer it is now priced at $249.</p>
<p><strong>- Keyword Research and Selection<br />
- Page Title Tags Generation<br />
- META description and marketing tags<br />
- Geographical target market tags<br />
- Main Content Suggestions<br />
- 1 Custom Written Article &amp; Submission<br />
- Submission to top search engines and directories (Google, Yahoo, MSN)</strong></p>
<p><strong>Step 1: Keyword Research and Selection</strong></p>
<p>We strategically pick out the keywords that are most relevant to our client&#8217;s site and compile them into a word file.</p>
<p>We search for the best keywords, the ones that:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Are the most relevant to our clients site and product</strong></li>
<li><strong>Are the most frequently searched for</strong></li>
<li><strong>Have all the above criteria, but the least amount of advertiser competition.</strong></li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Step 2: Page Title Tags Generation</strong></p>
<p>The Page Title Tags are the words that will be written in the &lt;/title&gt; part of the page. These words will show up in the tab of the page at the top of an Internet browser.  Once we supply you with these, your webmaster will be able to easily include these for you.</p>
<p><strong>Step 3: &#8211; META description and marketing tags</strong></p>
<p>This task involves choosing the most relevant keywords and phrases and compiling them into a description of the site.</p>
<p>The META tags go in the HTML code of the site and it tells the search<br />
engines what the site is all about.</p>
<p>The META tags are broken up into several parts. The most popular two parts are the META &#8220;keywords&#8221; and the META &#8220;description&#8221; tags.</p>
<p><strong>Step 4: &#8211; Geographical target market tags</strong></p>
<p>These are the &#8220;tags&#8221; or &#8220;keywords and phrases&#8221; that are designed for people who live in a certain area.</p>
<p><strong>Step 5: &#8211; Main Content Suggestions</strong></p>
<p>In this step, we always include the client and anybody within their business who has the most knowledge about their product and service.  We are going to provide keyword suggestions to them that they will need to add to their site&#8217;s main text content.</p>
<p><strong>IMPORTANT:</strong> These keywords and phrases will need to be added to the website&#8217;s main content nonchalantly. Search engine consultants know the correct % of the time to include these.</p>
<p>For instance, if the home page has 500 words on it, a particular keyword phrase should only be repeated X amount of times.</p>
<p>Staying closer to X%  is better and safer. You don&#8217;t want the website being penalized by Google for &#8220;keyword stuffing.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Step 6: &#8211; 1 Custom Written Article &amp; Submission<br />
</strong><br />
We will write an article for our client. It will also be keyword optimized for SEO purposes. This is an important step that many SEO consultant companies do not offer.  It is one of the most important steps as we&#8217;ve mentioned before, <a href="http://northwestarkansasseo.com/?p=159">&#8220;content is king.&#8221;</a></p>
<p><strong>Step 7: &#8211; Submission to top search engines and directories (Google, Yahoo, MSN)</strong></p>
<p>After we have completed all of the above steps, we will submit our client&#8217;s website URL to the major search engines such as <strong>Google, Yahoo and MSN</strong>.</p>
<p>At this point, you&#8217;ll want to allow a couple weeks for the effects to really kick in and show up in the form of new traffic.</p>
<p>You&#8217;ll want to monitor this or have the person in charge of your web site use a form of analysis to see how your site and pages are reacting to the optimization techniques.</p>

<p><strong>Small businesses </strong>may start seeing a natural increase in local traffic and increased benefits due to their online search engine optimization (SEO) efforts because of one of the latest changes from Google.</p>
<p>Reason being:   Google recently made local searches the default setting for a number of search queries which means that a person, (most likely a &#8220;local&#8221; one,) searching for a RV Dealer will find results close to his or her area without typing in where they live.</p>
<p>Because of these changes, it couldn&#8217;t be a better time to work with a <a href="http://www.northwestarkansasseo.com">local SEO consultant company</a> who can help you optimize your site and it&#8217;s pages correctly which will better your chances to get on top of your competition!</p>

<p><strong>keywords</strong> are the lifeblood of a successful website or campaign.</p>
<p>True &#8211; all SEO companies use online keyword tools to come up with the lists they are going to provide their clients for their websites, articles, pages, etc.</p>
<p>According to many experts, too many companies are not doing enough research into the keywords they&#8217;re using.</p>
