General FAQs

The Smart Cabbage Program works like this:

1. We start by doing a complete analysis of your website, where it is today and what keyword phrases you are looking to win for on Google, Yahoo and Bing.
2. From there, we create a summary report of the recommended  changes to your website to have the optimal chances of being ranked on Google.
3. We also create a an ongoing ranking analysis report where we compare you and your competitors (in the keyword phrases you want win)
4. We begin working on marketing your website via our proprietary SEO strategy
5. Through your Google Analytics, the ranking reports and our other suggestions, you will begin to see the climb towards the top of the search engines.
6. Most keyword phrases can be optimized and ranked within a few months, but other more competitive words, take a bit longer.
7. The program requires NO CONTRACT and is month-to-month.

It is difficult to tell you exactly how long it may take to get ranked on the various search engines.  Each search engine has it's own algorithm which computes the listing and ranking of sites based on keyword phrases.

No one has control over those algorithms except the companies themselves.  Most ranking projects that we have undertaken have lasted 6-9 months.

The guarantee that we can make is that your rankings will increase.  By how much?  Hard to tell since there are a huge number of variables in any ranking campaign, we cannot guarantee that you will be in the top ten, top five or number one position on the search engines.

That being said, we have had tremendous success using our all "White Hat" methods for getting sites ranked and keeping them there.

Any company that "guarantees" a spot on a search engine is either lying, not telling the truth, or exaggerating their abilities.  No one has control over a search engine's algorithms other than the search engine companies themselves.

The best way to see our many, many successes is to check us out on Twitter.

• Domain name

Short answer - Easily remembered name.  Longer answer:  My best friend from college is from New Jersey and has the loud, crazy accent.  In New Jersey, "cabbage" can mean a person's head.  As in "cabbage head."  More frequently, it means "money."  At WPPI I had two guys from NJ who came by the booth and said in their thick accents, "Smaaaart Money!"

We specialize in organic search results on Google and Yahoo.  We have learning videos that we are slowly migrating onto the site if you want to do it yourself, however most of our clients find it much more effective to have us market keywords for them.
