High Rank Websites is a San Diego based web design and search engine optimization company that focuses on creating websites in a way that is different from most website design firms. We specialize in creating websites that are designed for high visibility in the major search engines like Google, Yahoo and Bing.

In today's competitive internet, it's simply not enough to have an average website if you want to grow your business through your website. At High Rank Websites, we build custom websites that meet your specific needs. We don't use templates or shortcuts when we develop a website. Our goal with each site we build is to create a website that blows away your competitors and dazzles your site visitors.

As with anything in life, you pay for what you get. When it comes to the success of your business, going for a "cheap" web design solution will only end up costing you money and profitability. Our custom built websites are always created in a manner that will showcase your main business strengths so that you can maximize the ability of your site to convert your site visitors. While we aren't the cheapest web design company around, we do pride ourselves in offering the very best value that your money can buy.

Most web design firms design and develop websites without an understanding of how the search engines ranking formulas (algorithms) work. Our knowledge of how the search engines operate help us to ensure that the code we use to program the websites we develop is "search engine friendly." This ensures that your website's content will be found by the search engine and will give you the opportunity to have your company website be found by others.

High Rank Websites offers Search Engine Optimization (SEO) services for small to medium sized businesses serious about attaining high rankings on the major search engines. Our Search Engine Optimization services include:

• Link Popularity Building: One of the most important parts of search engine optimization is link building. Search engines, especially Google, look at both the quantity and quality of links pointing to your website as part of their algorithm for determining search engine rankings. Our link popularity campaigns are an important part of our search engine optimization services and play a big part in the success we have with getting our clients sites high up in the search engines. We will also analyze the link quality and quantity that your competition has on the Internet in order to understand what type of link popularity campaign that must be implemented to get your site high in the search engine rankings. Not all links are created equal however. Search engines want to see links pointing to your website from other content related sites, especially authority sites.
• Content Writing: An important part of many Search Engine Optimization services is content writing. We write or often rewrite your websites content for both your prospective clients and the search engines. Search engines are looking at a number of factors in the page content when determining a websites rankings, one of which is the keyword density. We will incorporate your target keyword phrases in the content in a way that appear natural to visitors to your website and still satisfy the keyword density the search engines are looking for. We often provide search engine optimization content work even on sites that already have good content, but not enough to achieve high rankings.
• Directory Submissions: High Rank Websites will provide directory submissions to a large number of high traffic website directories. Many Search Engine Optimization services offer to "submit your site to thousands of directories". This will often times hurt your search engine rankings more than help since all the same information is sent to all the directories and search engines like Google will actually penalize a website if all links pointing to it have the exact same content. Our SEO services include listings in the most popular directories to both help out your search engine rankings and provide your site will additional traffic.
• Meta Tag and Title Optimization: High Rank will provide custom meta tag and title tag optimization to help your site achieve higher rankings. While Meta Tags are not as important as they used to be due to abuse such as keyword stuffing, many search engines still use these tags to help determine search engine rankings. In fact, some directories will not accept your site in their directory if it does not include proper tags. The most important meta tags are the meta description and the meta keywords tag. The keywords tag is not that important but is a good place to put common misspellings of your targeted keywords. Most important is the Title Tag. High Rank will provide optimization of your sites Title Tags while utilizing keyword tracking software to determine the most commonly searched phrases for your target market. The Title Tags are another source of abuse and must be done properly to prevent your site from being penalized from being overly search engine optimized.

Search Engine Optimization tactics we DON'T use

Many Search Engine Optimization services put your company's website at risk by utilizing techniques that the search engines view as illegal. The goal of any search engine is to produce results that are completely relevant to the search performed by the user. If a search engine feels it is being "tricked" through tactics they deem as unethical, they can permanently ban your website from their search engine. Some of those tactics include keyword stuffing, cloaking, invisible text, hidden links, page redirects, and duplicate content sites with different domains. We only use ethical search engine optimization techniques to ensure your site will not be banned by the search engines. Interestingly enough, we've noticed local San Diego Search Engine Optimization companies that use some of these tactics.

Expect Results

You will usually start to see improvment in rankings within 3 months on the major search engines, depending on the level of competition you face for your targeted keywords. Some improvements are easy and results can be seen in as short as one week. Search Engine Optimization is an ongoing process since the search engines constantly change their formulas for determining search engine rankings. Results can never be guaranteed but we have never failed to get a website in the top 10 results for the targeted keywords. Our search engine optimization fees are different for each client since each project we take on will be unique. Call us today for a free consultation and analysis.
