SEO Consulting
Would you like to know how well (or not) your current site is optimized for search engines? Do you need to learn the basics of SEO? I offer site evaluations, one-on-one SEO consultation, group SEO classes and SEO seminars.
Original Optimized Copy
Need a shiny new about page? Some snappy product descriptions? A bio? A resume? A how-to-article? A press release?
Would you like seamlessly integrated search engine optimization with that order?
I can assess your current SEO situation, ascertain your mission and your target demographic, research the keywords you need, and write a smoothly crafted, fully optimized piece that attracts traffic from the major search engines and keeps your new visitors interested once they arrive.
I specialize in creating search engine optimized copy that delivers improved search rankings without compromising your vision or your voice.
SEO Copyediting
I can edit existing text to include important keywords related to your content, and make minor changes in your site code (like optimizing link text, image alt text and file names) to enhance your search rankings without making major content changes.
Search Engine Optimization Rates
My rates vary depending on the nature of the project, so please contact me for a detailed estimate. I offer discounts to family-owned small businesses and to non-profit and charitable organizations. I also, under special circumstances, accept barter of goods or services in exchange for SEO.
For the popular parents' product review site Cool Mom Picks and its sister site Cool Mom Tech, I provided search engine optimization consulting, Google Analytics tracking and analysis, competitor research, and SEO editing services. (And every once in a while I wrote a review).
After conducting a site-wide SEO overhaul for WomenCount, a political action committee dedicated to increasing involvement of women in the U.S. political process, I conducted a customized blogger training session to teach WomenCount's team of writers how to optimize their own blog posts.
I did extensive keyword research and wrote optimized copy and meta descriptions for more than 60 category pages at The Petition Site, an online property of Care2.com that allows users to create and promote online petitions in support of causes they care about.
For The Parenting Connection, an innovative online matching service for parents seeking parent friends, I provided targeted optimization advice, keyword and competitor research, and SEO writing training for bloggers.
For two years, I worked intermittently as a contract marketing writer and contract SEO researcher for Home Decorators Collection, a subsidary of The Home Depot, writing search engine optimized product descriptions, titles, headlines, articles, and more, and conducting SEO keyword research and competitor analysis.
