How long will it take before I see improvements?
Typically this depends on how long Google's website reading robot takes to come back and 'crawl' the website. If it has been months or years since you made changes to your website, then Googlebot will be aware of this and not make frequent returns to the site. If this is the case it could be around two weeks after our work is complete before Google returns to review it.
Or if we are lucky and happen to finish the work just before Google is due, then reaction can be almost immediate. The improvements start immediately and normally continue to improve for around 48 hours before settling....or in some cases improvements can continue for days. If you have recently been actively changing and updating your content then Googlebot will be visiting more frequently.
Does Optimax Guarantee Results?
We guarantee you will see definite pleasing improvements in the position you are ranking on in Google for the targeted words and phrases that drive your traffic. That might mean seeing your website come from low ranking pages like page four, five or nine for example, improve in the position up to the front pages two or one.
Typically, if you have accepted the recommended package that Optimax suggested in the website assessment, you will begin enjoying the desired front page positions.
Over time positions can be improved. After the first 'crawl' by Google, we can see if some key-phrases or words require additional work, and over the next couple of visits by Googlebot you will be awarded your front page positions.
It is considered unethical in this industry to outrightly guarantee front page results to customers, as internet marketing is so dynamic. Typically companies that do this are new-comers and before long realise the danger in doing this, and learn why front page guarantees are not widely accepted.
Do these results last long, or are they temporary?
Often results will hold very well for a long time, and sometimes not. It depends on many things including greatly if you have active competion. Being a bit like a tug of war, if competition are fighting hard and you are having a rest then you will soon loose your position.
If competition are not using webmasters and are a bit complacent with their positions then your results will hold. Remember the competition will know you have taken their position and seek to fight back. Soon everybody will be using webmasters to fight for these positions.
If you are actively keeping your content up to date, and regularly adding to your pages after your optimisation campaign, then it is very likely your results will be long lasting.
Are there any ongoing costs?
Our packages OptiBOOST (Stage 3) and OptiMAX Me! (Stage 4) include a free maintenance period of 3 months after the main optimisation tasks are finished. Maintanence after this period is optional. If you would like to ensure your new positions hold then ask for a quote for ongoing monitoring, optimizing and monthly reporting.
If Optimax helps me, then will they help my competition too?
Optimax policy is one industry per area of operation. So if you are a national operator then we will work exclusively for you in Australia.
If you are Brisbane only, then we will not service your competion in your area. For example if you are a Brisbane plastic surgeon, then we will not promote another plastic surgeon in Brisbane; but we will accept to work for one in Sydney, and infact you will be introduced as very helpful link partners to one another.
