1.What does Partnered SEO mean?

Partnered SEO is a joint venture between SearchStars and the client designed to reduce the cost of implementing an SEO campaign. In a nutshell, SearchStars provide the expertise, the experience and the systems, and the client implements some basic tasks under our direct supervision.

2.What is the difference between Partnered SEO and a normal SEO campaign?

The key difference is that the client is involved and implements some tasks in the Partnered SEO system, whereas in a standard SEO campaign the agency handle (and charge for!) everything.

3.Your SEO campaign is designed for smaller businesses, so is it a cut down campaign?

No, it’s a streamlined SEO campaign that only includes the elements that are really necessary for a smaller website operating in a local, regional or less competitive global market. That’s how we keep the costs down.

4.I get emails offering to submit my site to thousands of search engines for less than you are charging. Why should I pay more for SearchStars?

Search engine submission services are a waste of money. It is completely unnecessary to submit your site to any search engine. These companies do not optimise your website and will not make any difference to your site’s rankings in the search engines.
Don’t confuse the SearchStars partnered SEO solution with bogus services guaranteeing top positions or pointless submission services. SearchStars provide a proven, high quality and professional marketing service at a fraction of the fee charged by most consultants and agencies.

5.What tasks does the client need to implement?

The client is responsible for arranging the implementation of any website changes that are deemed necessary for the campaign. This will include uploading new title and meta tags, making amendments to the existing site copy and, in some cases, adding additional copy or pages. We work closely with the client all through the optimisation process to ensure that the campaign is implemented correctly.

6.Do I need to have any technical skills if I work with SearchStars?

No, but you will need someone with server access who can upload changes to your website for you. This can be an employee or your website design company.

7.How do I get started with SearchStars?

To get started simply fill in our site evaluation request and we will get back to you with our assessment of your site’s SEO potential.



Alternatively, call 020 8133 4459 or email sales@searchstars.co.uk

8.How much does it cost?

Our Partnered SEO Solution costs just £995 (plus VAT). That would buy you less than 2 hours consulting from some SEO agencies! For this fee we will optimise your site for 25 target search phrases. If you would like to target more than 25 phrases we can add additional phrases to the campaign for a flat fee of only £20 (plus VAT) per phrase. This fee covers the complete campaign plus 6 months of reporting. There are no additional charges.

9.How can I pay?

We accept Paypal, bank transfer, direct debit or cheque.

10.Do you take on any website?

No, for a start we do not work with adult, gambling or pharmaceutical sites. Also, the system is not designed for flash or frames based websites as these require a significant amount of work to make them search engine friendly. Ultimately, we will only accept a new client if we believe that we can make a material improvement to their online business.

11.What guarantees do you give?

We do not give performance guarantees. However, we guarantee that we will use all of the expertise we have developed over 7 years of successful SEO implementation to do the very best we can for your website and your business.

12.How long will it take before we see any results?

We usually allow approximately 1 month to implement the campaign from start to finish. Once the campaign is implemented you should start to see results within 3 to 4 weeks after that in some search engines. You should allow 3 to 6 months after the campaign has been implemented before seeing the bulk of the results. If your domain is less than 6 months old it can take longer to secure results.

13.Who chooses the keywords in the campaign?
This is a joint decision. We will provide you with a comprehensive keyword selection analysis for your website along with recommendations as to which phrases we believe would make the best targets for the campaign. The keyword list is not final until the client has agreed and approved it.

14.How long will the campaign results last for?

This does depend on numerous factors that are out of our control. However, our SEO campaign should last for years with little additional work and provide an amazingly low cost per visitor compared to PPC, banner ads and other forms of internet marketing. We have clients who still benefit from the results of campaigns that we implemented over 5 years ago!

15.Is there any customer support or aftercare available?

Yes, we provide a free technical support email hotline if you need help or advice after the campaign has been implemented. We also supply a project manual in pdf format that you can use for reference.

16. Are there any ongoing or additional fees?

No.
