Questions & Answers

We have compiled some of the most frequently asked questions from our clients and also included information that you may find useful.

How long does it take to see my company in the Google, Bing and YouTube autocomplete?
In order to get you into the auto-complete, we need to establish authority for the keyword phrase. The time that it takes can vary depending upon the competitiveness of the keyword phrase, but look for the keyword phrases to start showing up in Bing and YouTube within 30-45 days, and Google within 75-120+ days.

Will this increase my business?
Google tells us that 71% of all users engage in the auto-complete. Over 91% of users look at the auto-complete, but 71% of the people actually use the auto-complete. 92% of Americans use YouTube on a regular basis. When a user looks for your product or service and they see your business suggested in the auto-complete, it tends to give them increased confidence in your company brand. Of, course, when the user clicks on your business in the auto-complete, every organic listing will display your business, not your competition. Our customers experience a spike in business.

Besides appearing in the autocomplete, does Search Box Optimization do anything else online for my business?
Yes, we do. Your business can appear in every organic listing on the first page of Google and Bing. On YouTube your videos will appear at the top of the results page for that keyword. Search Box Optimization will also enhance your overall online presence and authority for each search engine. Search Box Optimization will give your business consistency in results and monthly costs.

Does Search Box Optimization provide my business with strong leads?
Absolutely! Consumers use search engines like Bing, YouTube, and Google because they have a need or a want. When they begin their search they are a prospect. When they click onto a listing for your business, they become a highly qualified lead. We bring you leads from Yelp, BBB, YouTube, blogs, press releases, and aggregator sites like YP.com, DexKnows, Merchant Circle, and others. Because Autocomplete-Optimization brings all of this content to the first page of Bing, YouTube, Google, and soon Yahoo, users will find your website pages and videos, too.

Will I show up on mobile searches?

Yes. You will show up on all devices in Google, Bing, and YouTube searches.

Does Search Box Optimization track results?
Yes we do. Although we cannot track your phone calls or in-person business visits, we can and do track the increased traffic to your website. Autocomplete Agency will produce regular reports to show you the additional traffic we drive to your business, no matter the source. Our product, Search Box Optimization, is at the forefront of online search technology and will give your business the advantage you deserve.

Is Search Box Optimization the same as the SEO that I have now?
No. Absolutely not. Search Box Optimization gives your business much more. More presence and exposure online, more spots on the first page of Google, Bing, and YouTube, more click-throughs to your website and, ultimately, more revenue.

Do you do SEO work for us also?
Yes. In order to get your keyword phrases to show up as a suggestion in the auto-complete box, we need to build authority. To do this, we will create a YouTube video for you, press releases and/or blogs, post to directory listings, and post to social media. This is work that will be very beneficial for your organic rankings as a whole also, but we do this so Google and Bing will add you as a suggested company in the auto-complete.

Your results are amazing. Do you use any black or gray hat methods to attain those results?
We do not. In order to influence the auto-complete, Google looks to see what is currently trending, as do Bing & YouTube, so our process works down the lines of social influences, to gain authority for the website and to build social awareness, and do it in such a way that meets Google’s algorithm standards for determining what to suggest in the auto-complete. This social media trending work that we do is very specific to eventually get Google to start suggesting the company in the auto-complete. So we do some things similar to SEO, but specifically tailored towards influencing the indicators that Google looks at to determine what to put in the auto-suggest, which is mostly social trending and includes utilizing Bing and YouTube’s algorithms.

Do I own exclusive use of the keyword phrase, or do you sell the same keyword to my competitors?
Once a keyword phrase is sold, it is no longer available to anyone else. To test if the keyword phrase that you want is still available, just go to Google, YouTube, or Bing and type in the keyword phrase. If the auto-completes box shows any company name after the keyword phrase in the suggestion box, the keyword phrase is taken. If not, then the keyword phrase is likely still available. There may be times when the keyword phrase has been purchased, but not yet appearing in the auto-complete. Contact us today to get started on your business evolution.

Do I have to keep paying while we wait for our business to show up in Google, Bing or YouTube’s autocomplete?

No. After you make your one time Private Reserve fee, you will not make another payment until one of your keywords is in autocomplete. You will then pay the monthly success fee as each keyword shows up in autocomplete.

Are there any additional fees?
In our Search Box Optimization program, there are no other fees other than the monthly fee & the one time Private Reserve fee. We have no hidden costs – your monthly fee is locked in when you submit your Private Reserve fee and work process order.

What is a Local keyword phrase?
We sell keyword phrases for local and national businesses. A local keyword phrases means that you have a location designation in the phrase. For instance, “garage door repair Los Angeles” would be a local keyword phrase, whereas “garage door repair” would be a national keyword phrase. Local keyword phrases must have less than 5000 monthly search volumes to qualify. Over 5000 search volumes qualify as a national keyword and require an individual quotation.

When you purchase a national keyword phrase, you should be able to assist customers across the country. National keyword phrases are great for franchise businesses, but local keywords drive customers to the local business. To submit a request for a proposal for your business please contact us directly.

What is the price for a National keyword phrase?
National keyword phrases get thousands and even ten’s of thousands of searches per month. A national mortgage bank may want to purchase “home loans” and other related searches. They will receive inquiries from every State and need to be able to service those customers.
The price for keyword phrases is based on the competitiveness of the keyword phrase. The work involved in getting a national keyword phrase will be dependent on many factors, so we price the national keyword phrases individually.
