Sermon Transcription and Miracles

Faith First Transcription is a sermon transcription service focused on Christian ministries and businesses. Owner Rhonda, who is my not too far away neighbor here in Tennessee, contacted me less than two weeks ago and asked what we could do on a very small budget to get her some search engine rankings for her new do-it-yourself GoDaddy website.

A quick look showed that all the structural elements important for getting indexed deeply and quickly by Google et al were missing. Her pages (there are only five) were mistitled and tagged but to her credit she did have enough content on three important pages to be able to have a shot at some not too competitive search targets.

We had a brief conversation by phone and then started swapping information using my new support messaging system which eliminates email and allows file uploads and downloads. Rhonda did all of the implementation work herself following several instruction files I have written for low budget clients who can manage the process themselves. We did a little search phrase research, picked our targets and Rhonda has done the rest.

Today she has six pages in the Google index and has a number one Google ranking for sermon transcription Tennessee and a first page ranking for sermon transcription service.

So, we went from not in the index to all pages in the index and first page rankings in less than two weeks.

I would never deny the power of prayer and the presence of miracles, and perhaps that is where the credit belongs.

But there is nothing wrong with relying on skill and hard work to get what you want out of life, or for search engine rankings. Rhonda is a very sharp and quick study and a determined implementer. Yes we can, and yes we did.

Way to go, Rhonda, say a prayer for my website!

I was so excited to stumble across your website when I searched for SEO help, especially when I saw that you were in Tennessee too.

I knew that I probably wouldn't get much help, only having a very small budget for my website, but I was very surprised at how helpful and thorough you were. You truly see customers as more than just a paycheck.

I have found my 'go-to guy' when it comes to website help, and I absolutely can't wait until I can get your support messaging system. How neat to eliminate all those stray emails floating around your inbox and have a dedicated "ticket number" for each customer!

I definitely won't hesitate to contact you when I need further website help.

Thanks again for your help,
Rhonda
