“Search engine optimisation can work wonders for your business if carried out by the right people and Smart Traffic know how to do it very well!” ...View Full Testimonial

“Running our primary business through a website meant that this was the most important channel of sales for us. Previously, we had tried advertising through leaflets, magazines and newspapers but none of these proved to be very fruitful in terms of sales. We always knew that the best means of getting customers onto our website was through the search engines themselves. At the time, cost per click seemed like a good idea but also meant that to get more clients on to the website, we would have to pay for each and every click even if the client was not going to buy. Though this bought in better sales, soon the costs started to spiral out. What this meant was that search engines did work well to get you clients but they can be expensive if your site is not ranked high on the generic searches. We knew that the solution to our problem was going to have to be search engine optimisation. Having no experience of optimisation, we were very confused with what was available in the market. We were approached by Smart Traffic and decided to go with them because they offered us a lot of information without any pre-commitment. They explained to us how they would help us carry out the optimisation and spent time listening to our requirements. Their ideas were simple and seemed very effective so we did go along with them. The work they carried out was very visible and we were kept informed of any changes or progress continuously. Any queries or concerns were addressed effectively. It has now been almost half a year since we embarked on this project with Smart Traffic and can confidently say that they have made a huge difference to our sales figures. The work has put us on the first page of the search engines for almost all of our key phrases for our business ahead of major retailers in the same field. These keywords are all focused on sofas, a product which we specialise in. The first phase has worked so well that now we have embarked on a new project with Smart Traffic knowing that their optimisation work is excellent and works in terms of bringing in the extra revenue.”

“When Smart Traffic first approached us we were very sceptical of their promises of first page results in Google. Having recently spent a lot of money on another SEO company and seeing very poor results, we took a lot of convincing that this move would be right for our business. A Year later and it is without a doubt that working with Smart Traffic is the single most important factor in driving new traffic and customers to our website. Since working with Smart Traffic our position on Google has moved up from outside the first 100 pages to position one to four for several of our agreed keywords. We have been constantly impressed with how professional and helpful Laurence has been in not only managing the SEO work carried out on our website but also with any general SEO advice and queries we have had for him. If you are serious about promoting your website and getting results on Google, then I highly recommend Smart Traffic, we will certainly continue to work for them over the next couple of years in promoting our website further.”

“We have been using Smart Traffic to get us to the front pages of Google since October 2006 and we have now seen fantastic positions, coming from absolutely no where. Business has picked up and I would say 80% of the orders we get through our website are through Google searches, so we have seen a significant increase in sales and exposure. We also have a counter set on our website and the viewing traffic since working with Smart Traffic has increased phenomenally.

“Our company started selling blank media on the internet in November 2006; initially our sales came from pay per click advertising. We soon realised that this was not a long term option due to the cost in relation to revenue.

As our understanding grew of the business we realised that we needed a higher profile on the internet and that we would need ideally to be in the top five on the front page of the Google search engine.

We spoke to numerous companies regarding assistance with our site to enable us to reach this position

We were some what surprised and a little sceptical when Smart Traffic offered a money back guarantee if our site did not reach the front page within 6 months. Particularly as there quotation was 50% lower than other companies offering similar services.

We have now reached the front page position for a number of keywords in the time scale agreed, on the strength of which we have now entered into a second agreement to take our site into one of the top three positions within 3 months.

We are confident that they will achieve this and we will work with them in the coming years to continue to improve our site.

"Well done to all the team at Smart Traffic!”

“We were spending thousands of pounds on other SEO companies that promised to get us on top of all the important search engines but even after a couple of months still nothing happened.

So we were looking for a company that was not expensive but also did what they promised and after a while we started to work with Smart Traffic.

Even a couple of weeks the amount of visitors on our website increased with customers from the UK, but also from outside the UK people started to find our website because of our ranking in Google and other search engines.

Compared to all the other companies we have worked with Smart Traffic is the best and is always looking for a way to help you getting more customers and being more easy to find on the internet.”

Below are questions asked by a company enquiring to our client Hotdiggidydog.co.uk: We are talking to Simon at Smart Traffic regarding doing some SEO work on our websites and he has provided you as a reference. We are wondering if you could spare a few moments to provide us with some feedback on:

“How did you find they supported your requests and understood your requirements?
We found Smart Traffic to be more informative than had hoped. We had been looking for a company to help increase our company's exposure on the internet but didn't know where to find such a company and had no idea how, without spending thousands of pounds on Google Adwords, to get to page one from no where. We wanted a company that spoke our language and was friendly and approachable. Smart Traffic took their time in explaining what they were doing so that we could understand fully.

Did their work make a significant increase in traffic and genuine enquiry rates?
I can't stress enough the shear volume of traffic we are now getting to our site. We're not only getting visits to our site but sales are increasing and company awareness. In three months they moved us from no where (page 23 on Google) to 3rd or 4th positions on page one.

How soon after they started your work did you find revenue increasing significantly?
We plotted the growth in visitors and sales from October 2006 when they started their work. Month on month we have seen an increase in both fields. This is an increase on last year we are now 200% ahead of our website sales. It's very exciting.

Did you find it a cost effective exercise overall and would you use them again?
Initially we thought the rates were high and had to dig deep to find the funds let alone justify them. We have been 'had' many times with our website and spent alot of money trying to increase sales through it. Our website sales have now paid back the amount spent on getting us to page one of Google and we are now looking to invest more money with Smart Traffic. They are very helpful; will give you an honest opinion; advise as best they can; help with anything to do with the internet where they can and are very friendly communicative people on the end of the phone. They're a young company, not trading long from what we can gather, but they have some great ideas and seem to know what they're talking about.

I was at an Ebay seminar recently and the top people at Ebay are telling us in 5 years time the internet is going to be the place where everyone shops. Get ahead with search engines; websites and Ebay type sales rooms and you will reap the benefits in the future.

Let me know if there's anything else you need to know.”

• Google has approx. 78% of the UK search market, Yahoo has 9% and MSN about 5% - we specialise in obtaining Top 10 results in Google’s natural listings which bring the highest levels of traffic
• 80% of visitors to Google use the natural/ organic listings rather than the Sponsored/ Adwords listings – by ranking in the Top 10 of the Google natural rankings you will see far higher click through than with their Adwords – and these clicks are free!
• 73% of new website visitors are delivered by search engines – natural listings is by far the most cost effective way of reaching high number of new customers.
• More than 80% of Google users will not go past the first page of search results – if they are not on the first page they are missing out on the vast majority of the available ‘ready to spend’ traffic

Affordable SEO from Smart Traffic explained:

1. Determine keywords for first campaign – these keywords will be highly searched, relevant to your business, and deliver high levels of targeted visitors to your website
    
2. Onsite work – this is SEO work that we carry out on their actual website in order to place keywords in the right position and in the correct density. Furthermore, we work on internal linking to major pages and optimise for the search engine spiders to be able to index the site effectively. An SEO Specialist will work to resolve any structural or design elements that may be restricting ranking – we do all this with minimal impact on the design and layout of the website.
   
   ONSITE WORK FORMS THE FOUNDATIONS OF A STRONG, LONG-TERM SEO CAMPAIGN
   
   
3. Link building – the most labour intensive part of SEO. We source quality potential link partners and build links individually using a three way linking method.

We approach a potential link partner offering a one way link from one of our own Smart Traffic owned quality websites pointing at your website. In return, our SEO specialists will request that the link partner places a link on their website pointing back at our client website, securing a valuable one way link your website.

Our link criteria is particularly strict in order to be have the maximum effect in Google rankings:

• Quality websites with high home page PR and link page of minimum PR1
• Website is well indexed and highly regarded by Google
• Websites with relevant or search engine friendly content

We DO NOT target:

• Link farms, Free for alls, Link rings – these links will have no positive effect on rankings in Google.
• Low quality directories that are not well regarded by Google

LINK BUILDING CURRENTLY ACCOUNTS FOR APPROXIMATELY 80% OF GOOGLES’ RANKING CRITERIA AND WILL PROVIDE HIGHER LEVEL RANKINGS AND LONGEVITY OF RESULTS

Effective Search Engine Optimisation does not have to be expensive but it should not be priced at a rate that is ‘too good to be true’. Any SEO company or SEO Specialist should be completely transparent and provide a full breakdown and reporting process in order to be completely accountable for the results.
