Search Engine Optimization, Google SEO Services
SEO Cipher provides a wide range of SEO and Google optimization services that are sure to fit your specific needs. Whether you recently launched a site for your local business, or you are in charge of online marketing for a news publisher with millions of pageviews per month, we can put together an SEO proposal that will maximize the benefit you receive. We have experience in virtually every online space and understand how to optimize for your industry.
You can feel comfortable in knowing that we will not sell you any services that we feel you will not benefit you. We want you to be satisfied with your investment and if we do not feel that we can help you with your situation we will tell you. Following is a brief explanation of the services we offer and how they can help you optimize your site for Google and the other search engines.
Site Assessments
This product offering is most beneficial for large, dynamically-driven sites that have internal Web development teams. We will review every section of a Web site and provide detailed recommendations on how to address the issues we uncover during our discovery phase. Like most SEO companies, we will cover typical issues such as landing page SEO (Title/Meta tag structures, Heading tags, etc.) and internal linking. However, we also try to diagnose any problems that are unique to your site. We take pride in finding innovative and unique ways to maximize the value of every page on your site.
A site assessment might also be a good fit for smaller companies that do not have an interest in a long term search engine optimization project but who are in need of an SEO gameplan. We can put together a document that can function like a blueprint. This will give you an SEO plan to follow without the worry of being locked into an ongoing investment. If this describes your situation, you will need to make sure that you have a reliable webmaster at your disposal. Otherwise, you run the risk that your Google SEO process will never get started after receiving our assessment.
Average Cost: $5,000 (includes document and follow-up consulting time)
Time Frame: 3 months (document delivery will be at end of month one)
Please note that the average cost is just that – the average. Your quote may be higher or lower depending on the size of your site and/or how many hours you would like for post-document consulting.

SEO Consulting Services
Our search engine optimization consulting services are primarily targeted towards corporate clients who have internal teams responsible for implementation. The consulting services that we provide are dependent on the client's specific needs. Consulting time is very flexible and can be spent on anything you request, though we will let you know if we feel that certain tasks would not help with your site's rankings in any way. It is worth noting that our SEO consulting time does not have to be limited to one particular site. If you own dozens of properties, then we can put together a proposal that would allow us to help you with all of them. Although your total hours will be determined by our agreement, this flexibility will help ensure that we are constantly making the best use of your purchased time.
Average Cost: $150-200/hr
Time Frame: 6-12 month agreements
The hourly rate that we charge will depend on how many hours per month we agree upon. The more hours that you purchase per month the more reasonable the hourly rate will become. Please note that 12 month agreements will have a 6 month opt-out if you prefer.

Full Service SEO with Webmastering Option
Our full service SEO offering is catered towards smaller online businesses that may not have a webmaster on staff. You may have paid someone to build your site but no longer retain his/her services. If that describes your situation, then you have to be careful about who you hire for SEO. Some SEO consultants will not make changes for you, and if you have no webmaster then you could end up spending more than you expected to. Assuming you provide us access to your site either through FTP or a CMS, then we can make the SEO changes we recommend directly. With this service, you will not have to be a search engine optimization expert because we will be doing the work for you. But even though you will not be implementing the changes yourself, we will go out of our way to help you understand the fundamentals of SEO and Google optimization so that you will know why we are doing what we are doing. We have found that SEO projects run much more smoothly if both sides agree to the game plan and understand its purpose.
Minimum Cost: $1,000/month
Time Frame: 6-12 month agreements
Like our consulting services, the cost will be dependent on the hourly commitment you would like to make. The quote will also depend on how many changes we might have to make in terms of site development. Full Service SEO agreements also have a 6 month opt-out.

SEO Web Development
Although we are not a Web design firm, SEOCipher can redevelop your entire site with SEO in mind. We can also coordinate with a designer to build your site if it is currently being redesigned. Some companies may be able to put together a great design, but they may not know how to develop it adequately from an SEO standpoint.
There are many reasons you might want to consider redeveloping your Web site. For example, your site may have been built using framesets or it may be completely Flash-based. Search engine optimization will be difficult for you in either of those cases. Rebuilding a site from the ground up is often easier than trying to tweak what you have, and a newly developed site will typically perform much better.
Google has recently put an emphasis on Page Speed and web server performance. It is unclear how much your site's performance can directly affect its Google ranking. However, it is very clear that Google feels it is important, which means that it probably factors (or will eventually factor) into Google's rankings in some way. Presumably, a faster site would be considered a better result if all other SEO ranking factors were relatively equal. We recommend using Google's Page Speed tool to evaluate your site. If it is slower than a majority of the sites on the Web, then you might want to consider redeveloping.
We would be happy to speak to you about the pros and cons of rebuilding your site. We can also confirm if a site redevelopment would be worth your investment. If you hire SEOCipher to build your site, then you can be certain that your site will perform optimally speed-wise, assuming you have adequate hosting/bandwith. Your pages and site's linking structure will also be constructed in the most SEO friendly format possible.
Cost and Time Frame: Dependent on Scope
You will have to contact us if you would like an estimate of the cost or time frame to expect from an SEO Web development project. We cannot give an accurate estimate without viewing your site. Please note that we typically do not develop content for a new site build, so you will have to account for that at some point during the project.
