It is well known that 85% of visitors to your website end up on your site because they used a search engine to find it.  Using a search engine is the number one way consumers find websites. The other 15% is because of print ads, business cards, etc. With millions of websites competing in your type of business how can you be found?

MIDIHOST has an excellent track record of helping our customers gain high rankings in the major search engines to help customers reach their intended marketplace on the Internet. It is so important that we included our basic SEO package with every website that we create. How a website is created has everything to do with being found in the major search engines.

It's not easy to be ranked highly. You need someone with a proven track record and long term success.

If any one in the web industry tells you they guarantee a ranking for a keyword phrase, don't believe them. The bottom line is that the search engines do not tell anyone about their algorithms or how they work. Also, they change them frequently. Gone are the days of simply adding meta tag keywords. Also, some SEO companies will tell you they will re-enter your website in search engines monthly but in many cases this can actually hurt your ranking as search engines believe this to be something they call spam ming the indexes.

Today, search engines run sophisticated and ever changing algorithms to place the most relevant search results for the keyword phrases entered by an Internet user. To them, helping the user of their search service gain the results they actually want is very important- it's their sole purpose. Since anyone can place a website online they need to cut through the useless sites and give people the results they actually are searching for. With literally millions and millions of websites online, it is  no easy task.

Simple. Common Sense. and Highly Effective.

Our SEO marketing is not giving your website ways to "trick" the search engines as some SEO companies do. It may be effective for a while but once the search engines catch on and change their algorithm to filter the method, they will penalize your site and even drop your ranking and it will be hard to get it back. In the short run you may gain some visibility but in the long run it can work against your goals of being found. It is not worth the short term gain!

Unlike other SEO Marketing companies that charge exorbitant pricing and guarantee results that they cannot actually guarantee, we are more realistic. Our prices are much lower then most SEO plans and the results we gain for you can take 3-6 months before they really start producing higher ranking results. This is because we do NOT try to trick the engines or use underhanded methods. Instead, we use a longer effective approach based on what the search engines really prefer;

• good search engine friendly website design
• professional looking website with good looking navigation and very little HTML coding errors
• encoded properly for the content of each web page

What is better? Having a huge number of visitors where only a few are actually looking for your type of products and services? Or having a smaller number of visitors where virtually all of them are actually looking for your type of products and services? It is not just a sheer volume of visitors that will make your website effective. You must have visitors that are looking for your type of products or services. Guaranteeing visitors is not what we do. Helping you gain qualified customers is what our SEO services are all about.

Although we do not list "how" we do it we can show you the results we have produced for our customers so that you can see just how effective our SEO Marketing methods are. (see some examples on the right side of this page) We have been successful at this since 1996! Our SEO methods were only used for customers of our website design packages as an included service. We have become so effective at this that we are now offering SEO services to anyone who needs help gaining new web customers.

Personalized Solutions That Work

We design an SEO strategy that is different for every customer. We learn about your industry, your main competitors and what customers are looking for and how they are finding your type of business. Then we move forward and start working on your website and turn it into an effective search engine optimized website. If your site is in good shape for our services then we can move forward using your current website. However, in some cases, we may be up front with you regarding your website design if we feel that it needs to be redesigned. How your website is designed is VERY important to the success of our SEO marketing efforts. Search Engines are not just using keywords anymore. Their goal is to get the best sites for the keyword phrases entered and professional websites make a difference. If this is the case with your website, the SEO marketing is free as we include it with every website we create or redesign!

We do NOT charge by keyword phrases! We evaluate your business and compositors and help you gain access to qualified visitors that are actually looking for your type of product or service. And we do this for a price that is nearly 1/4 less then most SEO firms that focus on gaining you visitors - not customers!
