When we first took this project, a search on any of the major search engines for "The Healing Place" would literally turn up a big fat "0". We couldn't find it even when searching for it by name! The web site is now complete and we are making higher search engine rankings by leaps and bounds. Within the first week of work, we were up to #41 on Google when searching by name. The client was even more pleased by the fact that the targeted keywords "grief support for children" (quotes not necessary for searching) netted them search results as high as #21 on Google. Now that the site is complete, most relative search terms are ranking The Healing Place Web Site on page one or two of the major search engines. And we haven't even started working on page popularity yet!

Search results for our keyword phrase of "grief support for children", again no quotes required, gave us a search engine ranking of #10 on Yahoo, out of 2.75 million results. This came on the day we completed our work on the site. We're excited to see where it goes from there. You're welcome to check for today's search results. We're only #7 on Google (2.56 million search results) as of this writing, but again, we just completed our search engine optimization work today. Click below to see where we are now. And finally, on MSN, as of this writing, we were nowhere to be found, but wait till there's a new crawl. We'll get those higher search rankings.
