HOUSTON, July 11, 2007 - A Houston SEO company launched a new website today that outlines new services and improved pricing for “the little guy out there who knows he needs SEO but doesn’t know where to turn or who to trust or how he’ll ever afford it,” says Steve Lawrence, owner of Neostead Web Design and SEO Services, a north Houston search engine marketing business.

Lawrence says Neostead’s niche is small Houston companies. “These are hardworking, informed men and women who know the importance of marketing. They’ve heard about SEO, they heard about what it can do – but every time they start to make a move, all they encounter is conflicting information mixed with grandiose promises. They don’t know who to trust – and if they did – they think they’d never be able to afford it.”

The Houston SEO expert says he launched the new website (www.neostead.com) with these business owners in mind. Our focus,” says Lawrence, “is small and startup companies who have big needs and a small budget. They want first-page placement on Google and Yahoo. Lawrence says the new low-cost, high-performing websites come in 10, 30 and 50-page sizes, and can be custom-modified, if necessary. A fully-search-engine-optimized website with 30 pages is priced at less than $1,000, and $349 for SEO maintenance.

“If custom-designed, these websites would cost from $4,500 to $5,000. Because we pre-design them, we deliver a full-featured SEO marketing website that is project-priced on the front-end. The ROI is economical and powerful.”

Lawrence recalls one client, a southwest Houston accountant, “who said it best when he told me: ‘There was only one thing scarier to me than taking the SEO website plunge – and that was not taking it.’”

Houston small business owners should keep the following points in mind during the SEO website decision-making process, says Lawrence:

• There are only 10 places on page one of Google – and almost no one lands there by accident.

• The Yellow Pages have gone the way of the phone booth – nobody needs them; nobody wants them; nobody cares. It’s all about ‘search.’

• Website SEO is a steal next to the eat-‘em-up costs of pay-per-click– natural search.
