No, VCG does not sell or offer SEO* services. While we can and will at times offer suggestions that could potentially improve your site's ranking and visibility within search engine results, we make no guarantees or promises in this regard. It's simply not a service that we offer. While there are many reputable companies offering legitimate SEO services, it is important to always remember that no one can ever guarantee you specific, non-paid placement in search engine results.
That said, there are ways that you can SEO your website. First, I'd suggest viewing our best practices user guide by clicking here. Next, we suggest taking the following steps to better optimize your site:
- Google - Verify your website with Google.
- Social Media - Have a web presence on other websites: If you have a social media profiles (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, Yelp, etc) for your company, registered to your Chamber of Commerce or with the Better Business Bureau, we can link the websites together which helps search engines find your company on more established websites.
- Feedback - Solicit customer feedback on Google and other platforms. You have a custom Signsearch feedback link you can be utilizing as well.
- Meta Tags - Provide custom Meta Keywords & Meta Descriptions for each page of your website. Note: These words will not physically show up on your website for your customers to see, they are here purely for Search Engine Optimization.
- Updating content - we use our in-house content by default on all our websites. By updating the content on your site, it will help increase your search engine ranking.
- Traffic - Increased amounts of traffic through your website's ranking as well. More people going to it makes it more noticeable to search engines online.
- Time - Your website will not show on search engines such as Google until they are indexed by the search engine itself, this takes varying time depending on the search engine.
Do you have domain-specific emails?
In the best practices user guide linked above, we mention using your domain for emails. You have up to 20 @theirdomain.com emails included for free with your subscription with us, which can help to generate site traffic. If you're interested in getting emails setup, let me know.
If you've completed the above tasks and are still not yielding the results you'd like, you may need to research more SEO strategies yourself or reach out to a 3rd party SEO company. Please send any website changes to vcgsupport@vcgcorporate.com and we'll be happy to assist you in updating the website. Please note that any extensive changes may incur a Creative Services fee - Learn More.
