About Us
SEO PROStrategy, led by Troy Birmingham, is the marketing affiliate of our parent company getmeplacement.com. In 2002, the President and founder of getmeplacement.com, Todd McCally, was bombarded with requests from ImOutdoors, Inc. clients looking for placement on search engines like Yahoo, AOL and a big up-and-comer called Google. He knew very little about getting placement on any search engine besides the one his company had built for the outdoors industry. After about six months of reading books and performing countless hours of research, he felt he was ready to give some clients some free assistance to see if what he’d learned worked. Well, it worked and it worked well. Those clients agreed to pay something for their new-found placement (thank goodness) so BringMeBiz, Inc. was formed! It now serves the needs of all businesses seeking natural search engine placement (non-sponsored links).
In just a matter of months, 42% of the ImOutdoors client base jumped on the bandwagon for search engine placement on AOL, Google, Yahoo, MSN plus a ton of the other lesser known search engines. It was easier back then to get great placement, there was less competition. Today, most people compete against millions of other sites for the front page. The search engines continually change their algorithms but we stay on top of the latest trends and our clients sites never see dramatic changes in their ranking while Google does it’s “dance” for example.
All this search engine optimization stuff is common sense. Yes, it’s technical in nature for the average business owner but every day we talk to people that say, why is “he” on the front page when I run a superior operation? The reason is simple, the search engines don’t know you and they don’t know you provide a better service or product than the other guy. All they have to go by is what you tell them. What you tell them is in the form of your website. If you don’t tell them much or what you do tell is hard for them to understand, you don’t get a very good score so you don’t get very good placement in the search engines. The search engines are machines, they don’t know you and they can’t see you. If all you give them is images on your site and you don’t label them properly, you’re invisible to them! You may have just spent $5K-$10K on your new site design but if the search engines don’t like, who is going to see it? Having great search engine placement is all about having relevance within your site. Within your coding or your infrastructure, your on-page content, your link popularity and your traffic rank. You are not going to see the full potential of what your site can do for your bottom line until these four key elements have been addressed. That is what we specialize in. No matter what the search engines have thrown at us over the past few years, our core values for our optimizations have never let us down. We have optimized over 11,000 pages for our clients and we are very proud to say we have not seen one instance where existing placement was not dramatically improved and non-existent placement became great placement in multiple search engines.
If you are paying-per-click now for your search engine traffic, there is an alternative that is a more affordable solution to search engine traffic and provides a better return on your investment overall. If you are going to sell Halloween masks the months of September and October, then PPC is perfect for you; but if you are in business to generate revenue month after month, year after year, go with natural search engine placement and stop fighting with the sharks who are clicking your ad so it will expire and they can move up! You need a permanent solution that natural placement provides. That’s what we do!
