Site Audit

Sherpa analyzes how SEO friendly your site is and provides any recommendations for code changes that could improve the ability for search engines to scan your site or make better use of tags search engines use for indexing search terms. Note that the work identified here is additional to the scope of the SEO Starter Package.

Keyword Analysis

Next we work with you to determine 5 key phrases that you want to rank for and are worth the effort.

Google Analytics

A fundamental tool in search engine optimization is having Google Analytics to report data on how users are getting to your site and what they are doing on your site. We will setup a Google Analytics account (if you don’t already have one) and connect it with your WordPress Site.

Webmaster Tools

We will setup a google webmaster tools account which will enable us to scan your site for SEO errors according to google. We will also scan for a XML sitemap and be sure google has been indexing your site.

Keyword Analysis

Here we work with you to determine 5 key phrases (aka keywords) that you want to rank for and are worth the effort based off what you feel your clients are using to search for you, our experience in what people are actually searching for and the search volume that these terms are actually seeing.

Keyword Implementation

Next we take the keywords / key phrases we have determined to be your best initial approach and implement them throughout the site – in page text, internal links, meta data such as page title, page descriptions and page keywords.

SEO Honestly Policy


SEO Problem:


SEO – it’s a funny thing because everyone knows they need it and yet its some mysterious black art that SEO experts have the key to.
That leaves the client at the disadvantage – it’s hard to understand what they are doing, why they are doing it and what the results really are.

The Truth About SEO

In my experience I have been taken advantage of by an SEO firm – a firm that was hired to help boost my fathers photography website. We were paying about $300 a month after the initial SEO fee and did not see any results. Even myself, as a web tech, was a bit mystified as to what they were doing each month. They kept promising great results, not page 1, but at least we should see great results. Over the course of 6 months we saw little results.

I have heard this story more than a few times now.

The truth (more often than not) is that to see amazing SEO results in under a year for sites that are competing for key phrases that others are – you need to have a large budget ($1500 – $4000) PER MONTH.

Now this is not true for EVERY SITE. If you have a small niche in a location that no one is competing for a small SEO package might do you wonders.

That leaves the small business without a large budget wondering how to improve their rankings and not get taken advantage of. Enter Sherpa’s SEO service.

Born From Frustration

Sherpa’s SEO service is built from this experience – our package is designed to do what has worked for us in the past: no off site hocus pocus. We just focus on what we know works: keywords and content.

That’s why our monthly plan includes adding a keyword and content – so that each month something tangible is being added to your site.

What Our Packages Will Do For You

For most sites, our Starter package will provide a solid platform to get your site ranking and build off of. Our Monthly package will build on that platform to help boost your rankings and expand your search audience.

Will You get #1 Rankings?

Possibly – some of our sites have achieved first page rankings for many competitive search terms with the addition of many keyword rich content pages.

How Long Will It Take?

This is hard to say – sometimes search rankings respond quickly, within a month or two, other times it takes many months to climb the search results.
