Questions to Ask SEO Expert Al Gomez

I enjoy helping website owners understand SEO and help them grow their online business.

1. How long have you been doing SEO?

I have been working as an SEO consultant since 2007, so that’s more than eight years now. Anybody can do basic SEO, and just about everyone can setup their own companies overnight – but it takes REAL experience to make clients happy. Through all my years at the industry, I’ve grown my knowledge, improved my strategies, and met a lot of amazing people (clients and non-clients alike). Nothing beats years of experience in my opinion, because search engines like Google are highly dynamic. You want someone who can not only fix problems, but anticipate them.

2. How can my business benefit from your strategies?

Every business is unique. I’ll need to know what your specific goals and objectives are for us to craft customized SEO methods to fit your needs. Basically, I will do a website audit first so we can see your site’s strengths and opportunities. Next, my different teams will suggest strategies based on SEO’s three core elements: links, onsite, social media, and content. These are designed to improve your ranking on search engines (better visibility for your customers), improve your social media performance (more engagement), and enhance the quality of your content (for long-term sustainability). We also offer Local SEO services to small businesses in Local search results; specifically in Los Angeles & New York.

3. When can I expect results from the campaign?

SEO takes time – especially for long-term goals. Depending on the type of industry and target market, most can begin seeing positive results as early as 3-6 months. But it usually takes a year for SEO effects to really create an impact (this is the most recommended time frame by experts everywhere).

4. Can I ask for a list of current and past clients?

Definitely! Simply send me your request either through personal chat on Viber or Skype, or through email.

5. Are you adhering to Google’s guidelines?

All our SEO strategies are in line with Google’s webmaster best practices. Also known as ‘white-hat’ techniques, we do NOT tolerate spammy content or hidden links. You can be certain that all our methods are created to keep working long after your campaign with us is over.

6. How is your online marketing different from others?

We focus on long-term results – not just overnight hits. Although the latter is great, they often cannot carry your business years later. That’s why we pooled our resources and best talents together to design tactics that are meant to improve your present standing; while at the same time, keep you on top even after your online marketing project with us.

7. How will I be kept updated about my site’s progress?

We send monthly reports that detail progress in the three SEO core elements: links, social media, and content. For inquiries, suggestions, and other concerns, I am available via email or chat (Skype and Viber). I make it a point to answer as quickly as I receive your messages. We’re known for the excellent attention we give to each of our clients – so if you have special requests, don’t hesitate to give me a call!

8. What do you use to measure the success of SEO campaigns?

We mostly use Google Webmaster (for on-site optimization) and Analytics (for web traffic, social media, etc.). However, we also utilize other tools like Ahrefs Backlink Explorer to check and compare links. We don’t rely on just one tool because we want to have an in-depth look at your website’s progress.

9. Do you also check for conversion?

Yes! Today’s SEO is more than ranking (although that’s still important). I understand that at the end of the day, you want to see how our methods could improve your revenue. So together with my teams, we crafted strategies that will not only increase visibility on search engines; but also encourage users to complete an action based on your business goals. I have talented, experienced people in my content and social media teams, ready to generate content that converts.

10. What happens if we encounter a problem in the middle of the campaign?

In my years as an SEO consultant, that cannot be avoided – but what makes our services different is we always find ways. We don’t run away and we won’t abandon you. As we have the ability to anticipate problems in the first place, trust us to have backup plans to make things run smoothly amidst a crisis.
