Think Investment, not Expense
When done well, the money that you spend on building your website and on conducting the full array of tactics in an effective online marketing and SEO strategy will produce lasting value and benefit for your organization. Stop wasting money on “marketing expense” and instead invest in your online presence, authority and rankings.

Google Analytics Filters Service
Note: this is normally included in our SEO Bundled Services package. It is also available as a stand-alone service on its own without being included in an SEO campaign with the SEO Bundled Services package.
There are hackers who create “analytics spam” and “ghost spam” which result in the Google Analytics visitor data for your website being overstated with “fake” visits. There are multiple reasons why they do this, but the outcome is always the same: your Google Analytics visitor traffic data becomes overstated and unreliable.
The most effective way to combat this problem is by installing filters in your Google Analytics account to prevent those fake visits from being counted.
Over time, the hackers invent new ways of creating these fake visits and making your Google Analytics data be inaccurate. You have to continually update the filters in your Google Analytics account by adding new filters to combat the continually increasing numbers of spam bots.
This service includes installation and customization of the appropriate filters for your website when you first subscribe to the service and then ongoing maintenance and updating of the filters as time goes on.
Investment:
- With a six-month commitment: $85 per month
- With a twelve-month commitment: $75 per month

- We recommend that most eldercare-related services publish new content as new topic pages rather than posting blog post articles, if they even had a blog to begin with. There may be cases where there are exceptions to this rule, but not in most cases.
