Search engine optimisation services.

What is SEO?

Search engine optimization (SEO) is the art of creating Web pages that will rank high in search engine returns. SEO is accomplished by optimising certain sections or "elements" in the HTML coding of each page. These sections are specifically read by search engines and, depending on the level of optimization, can create a greater likelihood of free referral traffic.

There are several methods and opinions about how a web page should be optimised, and much will depend on the type of site, its content, purpose and competition, if relevant. But in general search engine optimization relies heavily on the proper use of keywords and key phrases that describe the site's content.

Why do I need a professional SEO service?

There are many benefits to hiring a professional SEO company like Image Red. At Image Red we know what search engines are looking for. Each search engine has their own set of rules, algorithms, regulations, etc., that they apply to web sites that become part of their indices or databases. In an attempt to supply users' relevant content as they search, there are certain things they look for in web pages. One of the keys of ranking well in any particular search is knowing exactly what they are looking for and making sure your web pages are designed properly. This is called "optimisation" and unfortunately the vast majority of web sites on the Internet are not properly optimised for keywords or phrases related to their subject matter. Image Red will ensure that your site is optimised properly and not just for the search terms that are the most popular but also the most relevant to your business.

Why do I need an SEO contract?

Image Red will keep up on the latest trends in the search engine industry. We will make necessary adjustments to your web pages or your campaign to accommodate these changes so you do not lose rankings over the period of the contract. This is an ongoing process that never seems to end. It is a full time occupation just keeping up with all the change and transition that goes on in the SEO world. If left your website will eventually lose its ranking position with the search engines as the goal posts are constantly moved by Google etc.

A Clear Understanding

Image Red will hold your hand during the entire process of SEO for your website. We explain things in layman's terms and work with you to not only help you reach the top but understand how you got there as well. We do not believe in the black magic approach; instead our commitment is to keep you the customer informed and to make sure we are delivering the results you expect from a professional SEO company.

What is pay per click (PPC/CPC)?

PPC/CPC (Pay per click / Cost per click) is an online advertising format that allows you to buy your way to the top of search results pages immediately for search phrases relevant to your business. You buy advertising on specific search phrases, and are then charged each time a person clicks through to your website. In some industries PPC is not the right answer as the cost for each click is too high whereas niche industries can benefit greatly from PPC. Image Red offer a managed PPC service where we can monitor your spend against your return. When a brand new website is added to the internet it can take some time for the search engines to start to rank you so PPC can be used as a temporary measure to achieve web traffic to your site.

How much will it cost me?

As much as we would like too give you a straight cost here we can’t give you a definitive answer without knowing your market or your required regional coverage, what we provide is a guide to show you where the costs are derived from (and not just plucked out of thin air!). The costs can significantly change depending on your required regional reach. A basic localised SEO setup for your local region can cost as little as £100 / month depending on your industry; where as a national SEO setup will cost more as the competition for the top spots increases 100 fold and when we look at an international campaign the price can almost reach silly levels because of the competition and additional workload in translation systems.

Think about it carefully, try to work out the return you will get on your investment. For example, if you can look at your statistics and work out that for every 100 hits you get 2 sales and your average sale is £100, you can work out that an extra 1000 hits per month from Image Red's SEO integration could mean an extra £2000 to your business minus the cost of the SEO and so on… then you can start to realise the break even point for the SEO and then begin to project the revenue you could generate.

When you start to realise the lucrative value achieved from top positioning and relevant traffic, you’ll see that the money spent on a professional SEO campaign, a proportionate number of hours by a company who knows their product is money well spent and the need to justify the costs will have answered itself.

What our customers say about our SEO service

1st4limosales Ltd
I have found to my detriment that SEO can be a minefield. Previous to finding Imagered, I have used several companies that have promised instant and sustainable success but only to fail miserably. This has cost me not only my hard earned cash, but also precious time and allowed my competitors to gain an advantage over my website.

I came by Imagered after a friend recommended them to me. I contacted them and spoke to one of their SEO consultants. They immediately identified our unique problems and then set about the method they would employ to deal with these problems and naturally enhance our website to reach our target market. It was a relief to speak to someone who knew what they were talking about. They explained things in simple terms and at no time put me under any pressure to employ their services. I felt reassured and gaining some confidence, I decided to give them a try. How I wish I had found Imagered earlier. Only six weeks after employing the SEO services of Imagered, my company got onto page one of Google, three weeks later, we were at number five! We are currently at position three!

Imagered has simply got us to where we want to be, Page One on Google and at position number three for our main key word phrases, and all within ten weeks.

I must thank all the staff at Imagered, for their professional, friendly, easy to understand approach, and above all, the sustained positions on all the main search engines Google, Yahoo and MSN. At last I am paying for a service that works.

I would gladly recommend this company to anyone, and wish Imagered every success for the future.

1st Event Limousines Ltd
Google search engine page one position 1 to 3 for the last two years and all thanks to one company Imagered. What more could you ask for.

Limousine hire is a very competitive sector. Before we started using Imagered SEO services, we managed to get to page two on Google and Yahoo on certain search terms, but never onto first page and certainly never into the top six. I had tried a couple of so called SEO companies, they promised the world, but failed to get me onto page one anywhere!

I was introduced to Imagered by a friend, who could not believe how his own company had powered up the rankings since he started using Imagered. From the moment I spoke to Imagered, I knew I was with the right company. They seemed to understand right away our own very unique industry, and what was required.

I told them how we wanted to secure top positions for our own geographical area, and certain key service related search terms. With this in mind we asked Imagered to aim at ‘Limo hire Essex’ ‘limo hire London’ for our target geographical areas and ‘Wedding limo Essex’ as a service. Within two months we stated to see the results. We moved up the rankings, then onto page one, then into the top three where we have been ever since.

Imagered now look after all my SEO services, the on going services provided is both friendly & professional and the results speak for themselves. Thank you Imagered.

Memorial Service Ltd
We first started dealing with Image Red in December of 2008 on recommendation from an industry colleague. From that time to the present date; Image Red have delivered our initial brief far beyond expectation and easily within the time frame agreed at our initial meeting.

Quite frankly; in an age where customer service standards and service delivery are in “choppy waters” as margins are squeezed and targets take precedent; it is refreshing to deal with a company who do more than they say they are going to do and more quickly than initially agreed. This of course allows me to concentrate on the day to day running of my business where I might otherwise be wasting valuable time chasing after another service provider.

I have instructed Image Red to work on several other media related projects as a result of them far exceeding my initial expectations and have no hesitation in recommending them (and more importantly the quality of work) to any other business or individual.

Yours sincerely
