		<description>Thanks for the input and site visit, and we also respect your opinion.  I will be looking into your thoughts and suggestions.  When it came to the keywords and the title tag, was actually done internally.  Magic Yellow assisted with suggestions in regards to the linking, how to link to and from our two sites and the their site, and suggestions on some page additions.  Our goal was page ranking for exposure in our area, with accomplishing this we actually created new relationships with three new clients and numerous telephone calls.

Again thanks for the review and your professionalism.  I’ll send an email back to you when I get some changes on the website and inform you of results.</description>

		<description>Randi - When I search for &quot;cad drafting service Greenville, South Carolina&quot; I see you guys listed first overall in Google&#039;s local results (called the &quot;10 pack&quot;) and 2nd + 3rd in the regular results. Your MagicYellow.com listing is 1st.

One of the tools I use as an SEO is the SEOMoz.org &quot;Keyword Difficulty Tool&quot; - the term your site is ranking for &quot;cad drafting service Greenville, South Carolina&quot; is rated as &quot;non-competitive&quot; by this tool. This isn&#039;t to say that the term doesn&#039;t have commercial value, but usually you can rank for a non-competitive term by simply changing your home page title tag. Frankly, showing up first or second for a lengthy search term that&#039;s non-competitive is not a tremendous accomplishment. I could create something that would rank for that term by the end of the week with just a little effort. MagicYellow.com might have helped you show up for that term, but that&#039;s not worth the fee they charge.

For instance: Right now, your homepage title tag is &quot;Multi-service provider internationally.&quot; While this term might have some marketing value, it&#039;s absolutely terrible in terms of SEO. If you changed your homepage tag to &quot;Greenville CAD Services ~ Greenville Drafting Service &#124; Penrod Services&quot; you would probably rank first overall for all the terms we&#039;ve discussed without ever paying a dollar to MagicYellow.com.

As I&#039;ve said before, it&#039;s not that the service they provide is worthless, it&#039;s just not a great value in my mind. Nothing you&#039;ve said shows me any different.</description>

		<description>There are actually two websites that are coming up and only www.penrodservices.com is the that is listed.  The websites are www.penrodservices.com &amp; www.carolinacadworks.com.  The keywords used are cad drafting service Greenville, Columbia and the old was Charlotte, but have just switched to Atlanta.  We are in the process of updating our site and links.</description>

		<description>Personally, I did not have any bad experiences with Magic Yellow.  I paid for 3 listings in 3 different cities.  Within a day, our site was coming up on the first page and within a month we were in the first 3 actual businesses.  We did the back linking recommendations and the keyword recommendations and it works.  The nice thing about this was our $450 investment paid off vs. the $1500 and higher I have seen people pay for with a sales rep in Starbucks and Liquid Hiway.</description>
