MarketSnag’s SEO packages range from $1,900 to $5,000 or $10,000, depending on the size and complexity of the website and the selected marketing strategy.  The MarketSnag team of search engine optimization experts work with their clients to improve their organic position on search engines such as Google, Yahoo, Bing, Ask, AOL Search and others, giving them more visibility, site  visits and online sales, with low cost, no ongoing expense and measurable results.  “The beauty of our search engine optimization packages,” stated Machen, “is that there are no surprise monthly costs and the results last and continue to improve for years.

Search engine optimization (SEO) is the complex process of improving the volume and quality of visits to a website from search engines, via organic (or unpaid) search results.  Generally, the higher a site appears in an organic search result, the more hits (or visits) the site will receive.  “Simply put,” says John Gibson, Senior Technology Advisor for MarketSnag,  “the job of all search engines is to deliver the most relevant results for each search.  What we do, is make sure that each page of your site is extremely relevant to the keywords searchers use when looking for your products or services, thus putting your site at the top of the organic search results.”

Seal Beach, CA – July 21, 2009 – MarketSnag, an Orange County based internet marketing search engine optimization (SEO) firm, is helping companies nationwide to snag market share from their competitors utilizing a tool they already have, but may not be using effectively - their website! One such client, PeriOptix, in San Clemente, CA. experienced a 35% increase in sales last month as a result of MarketSnag’s unique internet marketing and SEO efforts on their behalf.

With the economy in a global recession, many businesses are failing and others are experiencing a significant drop in sales revenues. In spite of the down economy, PeriOptix, a dental and surgical optics manufacturer, is experiencing its highest growth rate ever for this time of year.

When asked to what he attributes this huge jump in sales, Keith Tholin, President replied, “MarketSnag brought our website from not showing up at all for our keywords, to being on the first page of Google for all of them! This caused our phones to ring off the hook and has greatly increased our sales over the past 6 months.”

MarketSnag specializes in raising their clients’ organic position on search engines for relevant search terms. This requires a unique blend of art and science. “What distinguishes MarketSnag from other SEO firms is our marketing expertise,” said Deb Machen, President. “Our number 1 priority was to help PeriOptix give searchers on their site the most positive and informative experience possible, while directing them toward a purchase. That is the “art” portion of the equation,” Machen added.

“Once the site was rewritten to best serve its audience, we optimized it to the highest search engine standards of Google, Bing and Yahoo,” stated John Gibson, Senior Technology Advisor for MarketSnag. “That,” he added, “is the science part of the equation.”
