Organic SEO Case Studies

Being in the business of Organic SEO, the biggest question we receive is, "Do you have any case studies?"

Although I have posted a few throughout the year to our blog, I have decided to document them all right here together. This will not be the long version, but a shorter, more condensed version. This will show the sites which we provide Organic SEO to and how they rank.

Case Study #1 - PearlyWrites
Since we advertise that we offer organic SEO services, I always run a few tests to see if we are ranking for the keywords we are targeting. I'm happy to say for the search term: Virtual Copywriting Company, we are listed as 1 on Google with a few other terms!

Online Branding and Photos

I always thought that getting professional photos or headshots were for actors or well-known, famous people. After attempting to get a nice, decent photo taken of me by others, I finally made the decision to get professional headshots and avator pics taken.

I posted on Twitter for suggestions of a Phoenix photographer and Erica Lucci sent me Tyson Crosbie. I am grateful to both of my Twitter friends as the photo session went wonderful and Tyson is an artist! He made me feel comfortable and the shots came out amazing!

Here are some of the shots:







Although I tell our clients how online branding is important, I wasn't following my own advice. With Tyson's pics, I now can go forth and continue with online branding PearlyWrites as the woman who likes to make funny faces and Shirley Temple curls!

Vote for Lisa's New Headshot & Avator

Since I have a book due to the publisher by August 1 of this year, I decided I needed to invest in professional headshots for the book. Besides the book, with all the online marketing I do, I don't really have a nice professional / funky avator and REALLY wanted one.

While I was on Twitter a few weeks ago, I asked the #PHX area to recommend a photographer and Erica Lucci pointed me to TysonCrosbie.com aka @TysonCrosbie.

Tyson was wonderful to work with and really made the photo session easy. I have never gotten professional headshots taken before and the last time I had professional pics done was our wedding back in 2001!

Please help in choosing 3 images you like by clicking here for a headshot, avator and Website image. If you only like 2 or 1, the pics can be cropped to fit certain purposes. Just having your input will help in making the decisions.

Thanks Tyson, You Rock!

Google SEO Article

Connecting using the online social media sites can bring a wealth of information. Sites like Facebook, Stumble Upon and Twitter allows you to connect with others throughout the world.

This week, one of our Twitter friends posted a link to a Google article about "What's an SEO?" The article discussed if Google recommends using an SEO.

A few main points mentioned in the Google SEO article are:
1) Be weary of any company or SEO consultant who makes a guarantee,
2) If you receive an email out of the blue about your site and its ranking from a so-called SEO company, approach this as the same as the email about "How you won a million dollars,
3) If you ask questions and the SEO is being secretive, this should raise a red flag,
4) You should NEVER have to link to an SEO.

With Organic SEO, we are always honest and straight about the techniques we use. They are all listed directly on our site so there are never any questions of what we are doing for our clients.

Google sets rules to help Websites, not hurt them. Work with Google's rules and see how your results improve. Honesty and business ethics still should be followed while conducting online business. As @CoachDeb always says, "I Want to Be SEDUCED!"
