6 27 Internet Marketing Services ProposalSEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION

Search engine optimization is the process of 'optimizing' the architectural

aspects of your web site for search engines. How your site is designed plays a

critical role in how much organic (natural) traffic it will receive. Search engines

tend to give 'high rankings' to sites designed with search engine optimization in

mind. When search engines like Google can comprehend everything on your

web site, chances are substantially increased for ranking well.

Site Architecture

Using our initial research and analysis Tom Forrest LLC will examine and if

required, make optimization suggestions for changes to your actual web site

pages including both page copy and back-end coding elements like HTML, meta

tags, scripting elements, programming functions, or any other changes our

technicians believe may be necessary in preventing difficulty for search engines

which need to read, scan, and understand what your pages are about.

Example of Meta Data (web site programming) Modifications.

Example of Web Analytics (installed on site).

Your site goes through a thorough analysis to determine its strengths and

weaknesses. This allows our team to assess the opportunities for improvement

Search engines decide which sites they show users based mostly on "Pagerank",

a unique measure of importance created by Google founder Larry Page.

Pagerank is determined by the amount of links and more importantly the "quality"

and "value" of each link which points to your web site. Tom Forrest LLC has a

deep understanding of exactly how important each link is to your business based

on various aspects such as theme, relevance, positioning, and authority. Link

popularity is one of the most important aspects of your overall visibility on the

web and has the ability to greatly increase the rankings of your web site.

Tom Forrest LLC will build links to your site as well as outline various link building

opportunities. Web partners, service providers, yours, as well as other web

properties all have the ability to link to you. Tom Forrest LLC will work with you to

determine which sites these are, and will help make contact with these firms

through either phone or email.

Links pointing to your web site can be generated from:

• Web Directories

• Text Link Ads

• Banner Ads

• Press Releases

• Blog Syndication

• Article Syndication

• Social Networks

• Video Syndication

• Social Bookmarking

• RSS Feeds

• Local Search Sites

• and more

17 27 Internet Marketing Services ProposalPAY-PER-CLICK SERVICES

Pay Per Click (PPC) Advertising is now recognized as one of the most efficient

ways for businesses to quickly add targeted, measurable website traffic. With a

well-run PPC campaign, your business will start to receive targeted leads the

day the campaign is activated, and you will have the ability to control every

aspect of the PPC account on a moment-by-moment basis.

While making ads appear on search engines is relatively simple, creating an

efficient, measurable, profitable campaign is very difficult in the "New PPC

Marketplace", which is driven by highly competitive, professional PPC marketers.

In the new online market, quality scores, A-B ad testing, match types, and

conversion-based optimization are for beginners. In most cases, your

competition is paying attention to the more comprehensive aspects of PPC,

such as Remarketing, PPC dimensions, Ad Extensions, and Experiment Betas.

If you’re not doing the same, you not only lack a competitive advantage – you’re

working from behind. Tom Forrest LLC makes sure the basics are in place first,

and then uses these advanced, powerful tools to drive your ROI ever higher.

PPC (pay-per-click advertising) is an optional add on to all SEO packages and is

recommended to receive instant traffic, A PPC management fee of 3% of your

cost-per-click budget plus $1700 per month in Management fees.

Tom Forrest LLC Page of

18 27 Internet Marketing Services ProposalPPC: Increasing Click-Through-Rates (CTR) and Conversions While

Reducing Cost

PPC: Basic Best Practices

• Campaign and Ad Group Expansion (Note: NOT Budget Expansion)

Many PPC companies pack several product categories into one ad group with

the intention of saving time. Tom Forrest LLC’s best practices require an ad group

for each product or service category, which tends to increase the relevance of the

ads to the customer’s search query.

• A/B Ad Testing

A/B ad testing is crucial to the success of PPC campaigns, and Tom Forrest LLC

takes full advantage of this tool. We have found that other PPC management

firms consistently underutilize this process due to its labor-intensive nature,

which gives us (and you) a substantial advantage.

• A/B Landing Page Testing

Tom Forrest LLC tests various landing pages within our clients’ sites to find the

ones that convert best. Rather than direct ads to the homepage, TTom Forrest

LLC’s best practices require testing "deep" landing pages that are specifically

related to the product or service for which the customer is searching.

Tom Forrest LLC Page of

19 27 Internet Marketing Services ProposalPPC: What Changed to Increase Conversions?

• Conversion-Based Optimization

Rather than simply test ad effectiveness based on click-through-rate, Tom Forrest

LLC analyzes the effectiveness of the ads based on their ultimate goal — driving

conversions.

• Keyword Expansion

Most PPC companies tend to overuse broad match keywords because using

exact and phrase match keywords takes time, and research. Tom Forrest LLC

focuses on secondary match types to drive clicks at a lower cost.

• Negative Keyword Expansion

Tom Forrest LLC focuses on negative keywords to eliminate irrelevant clicks.

• Search Network Analysis

Tom Forrest LLC tests and analyzes the results obtained through both the Search

Networks and Display Networks to determine the optimal mix for the highest

return on investment.

• Utilization of Advanced Adwords Tools and Betas

Tom Forrest LLC stays up to date on the most powerful tools that the Adwords

Interface and third party software developers have to offer, and uses these tools

*Web development fees may apply for significant design or visual on-

25 27 Internet Marketing Services ProposalYOUR COST: $6000.00 MONTHLY for Marketing

and SEO consulting, including quality SEO Link Building.

+ $1700 per month plus 3% of Google Ad spend for Pay

Per Click management.

We handle Google Ads account setups in a transparent and client-first

way that aligns with Google’s best practices.

To start, we create a Google Ads account that is fully owned by the

client and registered in the client’s name. Google prefers accounts to be

verified, so shortly after setup—or sometimes immediately—we may

need to confirm key business details.

The client's credit card is securely added directly to the Google Ads

billing system. Google then charges the client directly, typically in fixed

billing increments (for example, every time the account hits $1,000 in

spend) or at regular intervals such as every 10, 15, or 30 days—

depending on account activity. This setup ensures that all payments go

straight from the client to Google, not through a middleman.

This method also helps separate ad spend from management fees. If a

client is investing significant amounts in advertising, it’s best that

Google handles the billing directly—removing any liability in the event

of chargeback which could be significant.

Tom Forrest LLC Page of

26 27 Internet Marketing Services ProposalOnce the account is active, we take care of all the technical work

involved in optimizing the campaigns.

This includes managing a wide range of advanced settings and

strategies that can be overwhelming for most business owners. On an

ongoing basis, we monitor campaign performance, track where leads

are coming from, identify which ads are delivering the best results, and

continuously adjust, pause, or launch new ads as needed. The goal is

always to maximize lead generation and ensure the client is getting the

best possible return on their investment.
