Did You Know, Part II: Search Engine Marketing

Do you have a web site?  If the answer is yes, are you utilizing your web site to it's full potential? As you can imagine, a growing portion of the population is turning to Google and other search engines for help when shopping for most anything these days.  Need a new farrier?  New feed store? New vet?  Simply type in your keyword and location into Google and pages of results will pop up.  But how do you get YOUR web site to pop up on the first page?  This is where MLE comes in!

We offer a complete Search Engine Marketing Service for clients looking to boost their online presence.  To be more specific, "SEM" is the process of doing certain tasks to try and gain more traffic from the "free" or "organic" listings on search engines to your web site.  SEM also utilizes paid tools like Google AdWords and Pay-Per-Click advertising when necessary.  MLE specifically targets the Google search engine.

SEM can be a long-term process to reach the top access on the search pages.  Once a top listing is attained, it also takes consistency to maintain that position as Google is constantly changing. Time to reach that position varies dependent on the keywords targeted and the size of the market. MLE recommends a minimum of a three-month contract for best results.  We charge $240/month for this service.

Two of our star clients have had great success with our SEM services.  Kevin Oyarzo of Maryland Horseshoeing has greatly increased his workload since we started his SEM last year.  And Sheri Thornley's Southwind Farm went from having a few empty stalls to being as full as she wants this summer.  The results speak for themselves, and we really believe in SEM for service-related businesses!
