+What's the deal with 'Monthly Tasks'? What has to happen every month?
In order for your search engine optimization to be truly sucessful – a Search Engine Consultant will devise a plan for your business that includes regular monitoring of the progress. Search engines are constantly changing the way they do their thing, and so are your competitors. So every month or so – depending on your unique situation – your search engine consultant should run reports and make suggestions for improvement – to help you stay ahead of the competition. Additionally, a Linkbuilding Campaign takes time and effort.

+Linkbuilding? Huh? What's Linkbuilding? (aka - what are backlinks and reciprocal links?)
Linkbuilding is one of the most important things your search engine consultant can help you with. Search engines look favorably on websites that are linked to from other sites – meaning other people’s websites contain a link to your site. However – it can’t be just ANYONE! It must be relevant, quality links coming into your site. So if you sell widgets, the site linking to you should have something to do with widgets in some way – and the link itself must be set up properly as well. There are two types of Back Links: those that link to your site, but your site doesn’t link back to them; and then links from websites that you link to as well – a sort of reciprocal agreement.
