That looks pretty cool! What sort of prices do you charge for your SEO per key word/paraphrase?

Good luck with it!

hey hurricane cheers for that feedback mate! Knew there would be errors around the site. I will update it asap +rep. @gareth, we charge different prices for different businesses depending on the competition of the keyword but we definitely price competitively.

Nice one.
Well I know that our contract is coming to an end with FSC soon, so I'll definitely get a quote from you guys for the company I work for when necessary.

"We drive more targeted leads and more potential customers to your website, using cost efficient PPC and Advanced SEO marketing techniques that will have you at the top of google in no time!"

What's 'PPC', 'Advanced SEO'? Are these business terms, or terms specific to search engine optimisation or whatever? My point being, someone who is coming to you for help, probably doesn't know what these are if they are terms specific to the latter. If I'm being honest, this just sounds like typical marketing spiel to me - the type of spiel that makes me stop reading.

I think this detracts from your, overall decent looking, website. It just seems too 'spamy'.

"In there tough economic times, businesses need to be focused on the bottom line more than ever. We work with you one on one creating solutions for your business. Here at Macfarlane & Le, we understand that business owners like ourselves are extremely busy. Daily tasks are strenuous due to lack of time. That's where we come in. We are experts at online marketing, and we will catapult your business past your competitors."

these*. Whats a bottom line and why do businesses need to focus on it? I don't like the "owners like ourselves are extremely busy" bit. You'll be too busy to attend to customers' concerns/problems in the future? Won't be able to give them your full attention? Your experts at online marketing? Can I have some proof please, have you got a portfolio?.. Presumably questions prospective customers will be asking.

I'm pretty ignorant to the technology of what it is you actually do, and looking at the Services page (http://macfarlaneandle.com/?page_id=8), I'm fairly overwhelmed. Maybe make it a bit clearer? For example, I have literally no idea what "4 articles (500-750 words)/month written (more can be added at £50 per article)" means.

thanks mike for thous comments +rep.

@Jd3lta we didnt want to go overboard on the cosmetics just because we wanted a clean professional site. How did you test the security btw?

@Gareth, if you come to us before you renew your contract and tell us what the other company does for you i will make sure we do a better job for a lower price.
