Experience with Network Solutions Services:

Sales - Lori states, "When the sales process started, I felt a bit overwhelmed. The Monster rep spent a long time on the phone answering all my questions and when I came across any other concerns, she would promptly answer my questions through email."

Keyword Research - Lori says, "The keyword selection was quite simple and understandable, they provided a large list of words of which they recommended and we went through the steps of removing the ones that were least relevant until we reached the desired keywords needed."

Appearance of Optimized Pages -Lori states, "We were happy with the pages customized for our site as well with the 'writing' skills of your team. The team did a great job, we were very happy with the added pages and the verbiage."

Other Aspects that you were impressed with -"I was most impressed with the team being able to evaluate our site and put pages together with such valid content," comments Lori.

Overall Experience - Lori says, " I am very pleased with the traffic results since the optimization process.

EasyToGrowBulbs Business Summary:
Easytogrowbulbs.com is an online supplier of flower bulbs, specially selected for warm weather gardens. The company prides themselves on supplying the biggest bulbs commercially available; this matters because bigger bulbs produce more flowers and stronger plants. Owners Jill Fielder and Jim Threadgill started the business in 2004.

Experience with Network Solutions Services:

Sales - "I was comfortable that my questions were answered, and I had a lot of questions! I like to understand the overview and as much detail as possible. She was quite patient," remarks Jill.

Keyword Research - Jill says, "It was interesting to go through the process and understand how keyword research is done. Our company has an extra challenge because some seasonal keywords are meaningful only at certain times of the year. Our developer was cooperative and helped us balance our focus so we were aiming equally for both spring and fall/holiday seasons."

Text Writing - "I chose to write my own text. The information and example given to me were helpful; it was pretty easy to understand how to structure things. I have never written for search engines before so it took a little while to actually do it, but it was more a function of trying to follow the guidelines without making the text sound stilted," comments Jill. "From the experience, I gained a better understanding of the way search engines look for 'word' and 'word groups' on a page."

Overall Experience - "Many people who are novices in this area get confused by the misinformation and random bits of information about search engine optimization out there. It was helpful to have an opportunity to ask questions and have professionals do much of the work. With Network Solutions Services, you can hand over the entire project and have them do it or you can write the copy yourself," states Jill. "I’ve found the experience satisfying because we’ve made ranking headway, learned something in the process, and expect the ranking improvements to continue to move forward. Regarding the final product, I like the way my product images were placed on the created pages; it is aesthetically pleasing."
