			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Most of my customers only know me as a web host or the owner of Truly Texan, a juried directory of Texas companies and artisans.  But my real expertise is in designing (or tweaking) websites to improve their ranking in Google and other search engines. </p>
<p>It kills me when I find that a client has been paying some SEO company to do what I do, but they&#8217;re charging them 5 or 6 times what I charge.   It&#8217;s not that I&#8217;m cheap.   It&#8217;s that these other companies are overpriced and/or charging for things that look like work but do you little or no real good. </p>
<p>I mean, will you really read a 20 page report each month that shows where you rank for every phrase remotely related to your website, even if no one would ever search for that phrase?   </p>
<p>I don&#8217;t generate reports.   If you want reports, I can certainly charge you an extra $150/month to produce them, but it won&#8217;t get your site any higher in the results.</p>
<p>My philosophy is that your money- and my time- is best spent trying to get you to #1 (a never-ending goal) for those phrases most likely to be searched for by people who actually want your type of service or product.<br />
  <br />
With that in mind, here&#8217;s what I sent my customers yesterday to illustrate the quality of my work.</p>
<p>On Jan 29, searching in Google for:</p>
<ul>
<li>Texas gifts   -  4 of my clients are in top 7</li>
<li>Paris tours small groups &#8211; my client is  #1</li>
<li>mesquite furniture &#8211; 2 of my clients are in top 3 </li>
<li>wedding keepsake gifts &#8211; my client is in top 3 </li>
<li>Texas gift baskets   - my client is in top 10</li>
<li>Texas speech writer  - my client is #1 </li>
<li>gourmet cooking classes &#8211; my client is in top 10 </li>
<li>gourmet kitchen tools &#8211; my client is in top 5 </li>
<li>furniture restoration Texas  &#8211; client is #1 </li>
<li>closet design Houston &#8211; my client is in top 10 </li>
<li>murphy beds San antonio &#8211; my client is #3</li>
<li>custom closets Austin &#8211; my client is #1</li>
<li>Austin wedding coordinator &#8211; my client is #2</li>
<li>custom fireplace tools &#8211; my client is #1</li>
<li>wildflower t-shirts &#8211; my client&#8217;s in top 5</li>
<li>custom mesquite bed &#8211; my clients are #1, #2,  #8  and #10</li>
<li>custom children&#8217;s furniture &#8211; my client is #3</li>
<li>top Austin realtors &#8211; my client is #2</li>
<li>Austin interior designers &#8211; my client is #7</li>
</ul>
<p>I could go on and on, but that should give you an idea.   If you want to learn more, please visit my <a title="Web site management and SEO" href="http://www.trulytexanwebdesign.com/management.asp">web design</a> site for all the details and to sign up</p>
