You often hear SEO companies boasting, ” I can get you on page one of the 3 top search engines”. The reality is that you do get a page one listing on Yahoo! and MSN…but not Google.

If you are using pay-per-click advertising or tracking your organic results, you already know that if you want serious traffic, you need to rank well on Google and that is what we do well at Sesimi by following the guidelines that Google sets out for their customers. We provide you with local search engine traffic based on ranking your company well in Google.

In general, if you are ranking well on Google you will soon see better results in Yahoo! and MSN. So the next time you hear an SEO company bragging about their services, make sure to confirm that they are talking about Google, otherwise they are wasting your time and money.
