			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My name&#8217;s Sue and I&#8217;m a qualified web marketer and SEO expert.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">I&#8217;m<span style="color: #01cbd7;"> confident enough to say to local businesses </span></h2>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>&#8220;Don&#8217;t Pay me UNTIL You See Results&#8221;</strong></span></p>
<h3>I can get your website on page 1 of Google search results, and you don&#8217;t pay me until I do!</h3>
<p>How many  times have you been approached by a Marketing or SEO company  and been told &#8220;Give us X pounds and we guarantee we&#8217;ll get your website  ranked #1 on Google for 5 key words or phrases?&#8221;</p>
<p>If yours is like  most <strong>local businesses</strong> I&#8217;ve spoken with, it&#8217;s become a weekly event. Emails,  letters and phone calls flood your office, all promising the same thing:  a website ranking high in the search engines for a variety of key  words.</p>
<p>The problem most firms experience is two-fold:</p>
<p>(1)  All of the marketing firms want most, or all of the money up  front; and</p>
<p>(2) You never rank well for the &#8220;money&#8221; keywords.</p>
<p>So  after paying out £3-12,000 and having zero new clients to show for it,  you start over with a new company, or give up on the internet altogether  as a source of new client referrals.</p>
<h3>Why ranking high in the search engines for the &#8220;money&#8221; keywords is SO IMPORTANT for a local business (and why you should contact Sioux immediately)!</h3>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-115" title="Local business marketing and SEO" src="http://sioux.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/google_logo.gif" alt="google_logo" width="283" height="105" /><br />
Recent studies have shown that more than 80% of UK consumers turn to the Internet FIRST when looking for a product  or service they need.</p>
<p>That means 4 out of 5 prospective clients  start their search online&#8230;<strong>NOT</strong> in the Yellow Pages!</p>
<p>And  if you look at the reason from the perspective of the client it makes  sense: <strong>ALL</strong> Yellow Pages ads are limited in size and  therefore contain limited information. Usually just the firm&#8217;s name and  address.</p>
<p>But in your website, the amount of information you can  provide to a prospective client is nearly unlimited: Pictures, videos, audio content, press releases, articles you authored and awards you&#8217;ve  received are just some of what the client wants to see (or hear) to make  the decision to hire you.</p>
<p>Sadly, you can build the most awesome  website ever produced for a local firm, and still have it buried on page five of the Google search results for the most important keywords.</p>
<h4>Why does Google do this to you?</h4>
<p>Simply put,  Google and all the other search engines are looking for certain types of  information, both on your website (on-page optimisation) and on other  sites that link back to you (off-page optimisation).</p>
<p>If your site  is missing most of this crucial information, Google will decide that  your site fails to meet the needs of the researchers looking for  information related to your keywords, and they will bury you in the back  pages of the search results.</p>
<h4>How Important is it  to Find Your Site on Page One of Google?</h4>
<p>For the last several  years, Google has attracted around 65-70% of all Internet searches. That  means 7 out of 10 prospective clients use Google to find a local business in  your specialty.</p>
<p>About 42% of those searchers never look past the  first 3 listings found on page one of the search results.</p>
<p>85%  never look past the first page of search results. Of the remaining 15%  only 1% looks past page two of the search results.</p>
<p>This means that  99% of the people who use the Internet to find a local business never look  past page two of the search results.</p>
<p>If you are on page 5, 6 or 7  of the results for a particular keyword, you are essentially invisible.</p>
<h4>So How Do I Get My Site to Page One on Google?</h4>
<p>Getting  to page one for the various key word and phrases used by people who  want to hire a local business is not all that complicated&#8230;it just takes  some time and a cohesive plan to incorporate most or all of the factors  Google looks for when ranking a site.</p>
<p>As an expert in ranking local business websites in many cities in the UK on page one of the Google search results, I know  precisely what Google wants to see, when they want to see it and where  they expect to find it. And best of all -</p>
<h4>You Don&#8217;t Pay Me UNTIL Your Site is on Page One of  Google for Your Selected Key Word or Phrase</h4>
<p>This is where I&#8217;m different from most of the other local business marketing and SEO firms.</p>
<p>I give you the results I promise, or I don&#8217;t get paid.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s that  simple.</p>
<p>No tricks, no catches.</p>
<p>I will determine which key  words and/or phrases are the ones used by the people who are actively  searching for your local business, whether it&#8217;s an electrician, plumber, double glazing, vet or any other type of business. I will optimise your  site for  that specific word or phrase.</p>
<p>When Google moves your site to page one for that specific word or phrase for a set period of time (2-4  weeks, on average) then you pay me.</p>
<p>If Google fails to move your site  to page one for that specific word or phrase within a set period of time  (90 days, on average) I don&#8217;t get paid.</p>
<p>It doesn&#8217;t get any  simpler than that.</p>
