Hi, Alan - We bought WebsiteBox's SEO Tool for an extra $99 and have had great luck using it ourselves, without hiring an SEO Consultant. With constant monitoring and fine-tuning, we are getting onto Page #1 of Google'sTop Ten search results REGULARLY, at least for certain key search terms. However, our business is NOT as competitive on the Web as it is for Residential Brokers, because we are Commercial Tenant / Buyer Representatives. That said, my company, ITRA MacLaurin Williams, is located in the Metro Denver / Boulder Market, and, among Commercial Brokers here, we are in a very competitive space on the Web. So please take what I'm writing here in the context that we are not competing with Residential Brokers, which I realize is much more difficult that what we have to face on the Web for our business. Nevertheless, I can say that we sure have gotten far more worth out of WebsiteBox's SEO Tool than $99. Without, no way would we be getting into Google's Top Ten search results on Page #1.

Hi JoAnn,

I agree with Alan, I have purchased several add-on apps (while the standard price is $99 for each, there are always promotions available). I also added several meta tags to my SEO to greatly increase the search optimization. Don't forget to include misspelled search words/phrases as well, which should be part of your SEO approach.

I, too, find the Websitebox support team to be very helpful and responsive.

You can purchase your domain names through Websitebox or, if you already have domain names purchased through a provider such as GoDaddy, the instructions are in the Websitebox FAQ to update the DNS on your provider website to point your domain names to Websitebox.

Hope that helps!

The basic site is $99. You may want other "modules" (my word not theirs... I think they call them Apps). For example you may want the Blog or the Lead Apps. Like anything it as you work with it you will become more comfortable. I found it quite easy and their support people are very helpful. As for being Search Optimized, yes and no. Everybody claims Search Optimized but I have found there is search-optimized and then there is SEARCH-OPTIMIZED, I signed on last summer and have added several modules/apps since then.
