SearchGuru is a premium Search Engine Marketing company that puts our clients’ interest before profit. It will be like having your own SEM department, complete with technical consultants to link-builders and copywriters. The only difference is you only pay a fraction of the costs. Larry Lim also consults behind-the-scene at a number of big agencies and service providers – working as “consultant to the consultants”. For example, he is Technical Consultant at Locus-T Sdn Bhd, an ISO-certified Internet Marketing company that was established in 1999. Larry also plays an advisory role at SigMax eServices Sdn Bhd, an MSC-status company that has been around since 2002.

=== Why Guaranteed SEO Services Is Bad ===
=== Why Guaranteed SEO Services Is Bad ===
Many years ago, SEO was well regarded in Malaysia. The SEO Consultants that existed back then were real specialists, and they optimized client websites as if it was their own business. As the awareness picked up, more and more SEO “wannabes” joined the industry because they saw a business opportunity. Since these wannabes were more interested in making money than actually providing good SEO, they started slashing prices to attract clients …fast!

*Ask for examples of websites that the SEO Company has worked on – see if they’re big clients or mom-and-pop shops. Check if those websites were optimized for the best keywords or easy keywords.

'''3. Fees, Guarantees & Payment'''<br>
*If the company provides a ranking guarantee, ask exactly what are they guaranteeing. I have come across a company that guarantees to get x number of keywords (from a customer-chosen y number of keywords) into the first page of Google, Yahoo or Bing – combined! Considering that Google receives 80% of the total search volume and the top 4 organic results get more than 70% of the clicks, doesn’t the guarantee sound like marketing gimmick and nothing more?

Search Engines like Google, Yahoo and Bing receive over 1 billion searches a day. SEM lets you promote your business to search engine users in your TARGET MARKET and who are already INTERESTED in your products and services. You can optimize your website for increased visbility in the organic search results with SEO, or advertise through PPC programs like Google AdWords. Got damaging content about your brand in the search results? Fix it with ORM.

We see SEO and AdWords as complementing each other. For example, we would run an AdWords campaign to mine for keywords to target for SEO (because Google’s Keyword Tool is not always accurate). We would also advise the client to let the AdWords campaign continue running, until the SEO starts to show results. In addition, you’d also maximize your visibility in the search results by running both. This is because some search engine users only look at paid ads, while others may have developed “ad-blindness” and only look at the organic results. Naturally, you’d have to consider the CPCs and whether you’ll still be making money if the CPC is too high. For example, it’s not uncommon for the CPC to be RM5/click or higher for property-related keywords. This is the main reason why many property companies put in a lot of effort into SEO for their website.

== Online Reputation Management (ORM) ==
In business, a brand is everything. It takes years (and lots of money) to build a brand, yet mere minutes to destroy it. It doesn’t matter whether it’s genuine or engineered by a competitor, any NEGATIVE news, reviews or opinions on the Internet is BAD for business. Period! Not only will damaging content affect sales, we have seen clients face problems with contracts, bank loans and investors. SearchGuru’s ORM services can help you fix it where it matters most – the search engines. Because whether the potential customer is looking for product information or user reviews, prices, retailers, etc., they all start with the search engine.(''A May 2011 Pew Internet survey found that 92% of online adults use the search engine to find information on the web).''
<br>
<br>
We can help you supress bad press, fake reviews, wrongful lawsuits and other damaging content in the search engines using SEO, and PREVENT potential customers from discovering them. We achieve this by creating, optimizing and promoting neutral to positive content to the top of the search results, for keywords that are related to your brand. The end result? Anyone searching for your brand will NOT find any damaging content.
<br>
<br>
'''ORM for Search | The Process'''<br>
There are basically four steps involved in ORM:<br>
1. Monitoring – monitor your brand on Google, Yahoo and Bing.<br>
2. Content Creation – write neutral to positive content about your brand.<br>
3. SEO – optimize and build links to promote the content on search engines.<br>
4. Reporting – send monthly reports showing the search results for your brand.<br>
