Review and Sign the Agreements
Your web packages (City Business Exposure, Premium Business Exposure or Corporate Business Exposure), are all governed by all of the following, which are collectively the “agreements” (Policy and Terms & Conditions).
1st Page Exposure Policy
*Phase 1:
We build out your website, purchase keyword optimized domain name, YouTube video, content, business listing registrations, logo design, content and linking in 10 business days of signing up.
Phase 2:
Submit your web site to major search engines like Google, Yahoo and Bing using webmaster tools. Then the search engines will send a spider to verify that your domain and website exists . Once the search engine has visited your site, you should see a bare minimum search engine results listing. You may only see your domain name and no additional information if the search engine did not visit your website check back in another week it should have visited by then.
Phase 3:
Now the search engine will begin to index your web pages. It will visit each page and bring the contents of your website into the search engine database. You will begin to see your website pages slowly being brought into the search engine listings a page or two at a time. We will continue to tweak and optimize the keywords for better performance.
Phase 4 (60-90 Days):
You will begin to see your site listed in the search engine results pages. This is where you begin to seriously watch your search engine placement. Your placement will vary wildly during this time period, it’s a normal process for the search engines.
Phase 5 (Day 90):
Your search engine listing is stabilizing during this time, and we will optimize and add new content to your website. You will start to see a connection of your keywords to your customers. Your calls will vary depending on your industry.
*This process applies to our City Business Package, Premium Business Package and Corporate Business Package. The Standard Business Package excludes Video and Business Maps Listings.
$300 Pay Per Click Monthly Credit:
This $300 Pay Per Click credit applies to Premium Business Package paying $599 monthly. This also applies to Corporate Business Package paying $899 monthly. This does not apply to any special discounts or reduced set up fees. Starting on month 1 we will apply a $300 pay per click credit campaign towards your monthly payment every month you make your monthly payment.
You also have the option of not taking the monthly pay per click credit valued at $300. You may reduce your monthly payments on the Premium package from $599 to $299 monthly or on the Corporate Package from $899 to $599 monthly. This only applies at time of purchase and letting your representative know if you do not want the monthly pay per click campaign added to your monthly payment or not.
Phone Calls:
Our goal is to provide your business with online exposure. We however cannot guarantee the quality of your phone calls or the amount of phone calls you may or may not receive.
What Is A First Page Listing?
A first page listing on a major search engine like Google, Yahoo or Bing is a listing that reveals your company links through video or web presence when a keyword and city is queried. The search engine results page will display what is relevant to your industry in your city.
Example 1: “window washing la Jolla”
Example 2: “plumbing contractor Provo”
You will see your business listed on the first page and be able to link back to your website or video property. Your listings may appear in the Map Sections, Organic Sections or video section on page 1 of the search engines.
