Reasons for poor rank

It's a fact that high-ranking websites increase their sales dramatically.

And getting those high-rankings begins with a free consultation. We'll take the time to understand your needs and the particular demands of your website.

Understanding the steps involved in optimization is the key to understanding why 1st-page.com delivers a unique and exclusive edge over other optimization organizations.

Code Compliance

Don't be surprised if initially, your site may require code modifications. The vast majority of optimization issues are frequently the result of ineffective or improper coding employed by web designers, unfamiliar with the technical requirements of the internet.

The unfortunate fact is, the vast majority of websites are improperly coded. The end result of poor coding is poor rankings because when Google visits your site, it is unable to properly parse or read the HTML code behind your website.

When that happens, Google, Yahoo and MSN, simply leave your site. Your site is classed with the amateurs and their spiders move on. Many sites languish in obscurity due to this one simple factor.

Professional SEO

While other seo firms talk primarily about keyword optimization, we know that the essential first step is a complete examination of your site for strict code compliance.

Code refinement and standards checking is an integral step in the process and it's crucial to your success because... There's no point in adding keywords until a firm foundation is established with the coding of your site completely.

Server Performance

Once we are satisfied that your site complies with the necessary code standards, we will complete a rigorous series of tests on your server to accurately measure response time and latency. Again, a critical mistake missed by most seo companies is the performance of your server and your website in general. Although we ensure that your page coding is compliant, we will also optimize the code itself based upon a strict criteria of known spider requirements. Again, this labor intensive process is included with your package and is a necessary step in preparing your site for the search engine spiders.

On-Page and Ongoing Optimization

Once the nuts and bolts of your site are in order, we begin the essential task of optimizing on-page elements for maximum rankings. This is a process that most people are familiar with and it frequently involves adjusting your content, adding content and maximizing the effective of your inter-page link structure.

Professional level SEO is an ongoing process. The search engines change daily and so must our efforts on your behalf. As your rankings increase, so must our efforts to ensure we maximize the momentum.
