We realize you have a choice when choosing a SEO Agency to work with. So, what makes us different from most?

A Few Words From The Owner...

Hello. My name is Jeff Fagan. People often ask me, “Why should I choose your company?” Well, the short answer is: we know what we are doing. I’ve personally been involved with the Internet and the World Wide Web before most people knew what a domain name was. It started with the days of using Internet Gopher, Veronica, and Netcom. At that time, I was also overclocking CPUs until they literally burned up, so that every last bit of processor speed could be obtained. I evolved with the technology. I have seen and done just about everything relating to the Internet and the World Wide Web. I remember things like dial-up modems, when the ability to add an animated .gif file was worth celebrating, and a search for “website developer” returned about 5 results. Oh, and that wasn’t on Google because they were not around yet.

In 1994, I was given the responsibility of heading up the Internet Division of a multi-million dollar Consulting & Marketing Company in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, where I spent 5 years developing and overseeing an extensive intranet course management system. I also worked on online training programs and assessments for sales and selling skills, utilizing all the breaking web technology as it became available. I was writing HTML in a text editor before there was an HTML editor on the market. Technologies like Java, JavaScript, CGI, Perl, PHP, and MySQL for database development became our tools of the trade. We used them all to build something so ahead of its time that people didn’t even believe it could be done.

During this period, I became accomplished in defining and driving product branding, marketing, and search-engine optimization, as well as setting strategy and requirements. My experience included management functions and building an online presence targeting consumers and small business markets. I also participated in a beta test program with a large communications carrier, testing live video conferencing over ISDN. Additionally, I was one of the original members of the WebTV developers program, participating in creating content optimized for the WebTV standard. I also served as an early DMOZ Editor for several categories within Web Hosting and Development. Suffice it to say, I have 'been around the block' more than a couple of times.

In 1999, I ventured out on my own and started a website development business named "It's Your Prerogative." The demand for websites was on the rise, and my business quickly gained momentum. Around that time I also came across an ecommerce platform that Yahoo! had recently bought up from a company called ViaWeb which they rebranded to Yahoo! Stores. I’ve been around long enough by that time to recognize a good thing when I saw it and I decided to sign up as a participating designer. After all, I was always way ahead of the curve with my thinking and I envisioned that in the years ahead there may be a lot of people that would want to start selling online as this whole “Internet thing” continued to evolve. Yahoo! thought so too and was so intent on building up their user base that they paid the handful of us designers $100 for everyone we signed up plus gave us use of a free test store for development. They actually still owe me money from 1999 ;-). Yahoo! Stores used a proprietary scripting language based on LISP which was named RTML. There was no documentation around for RTML at that time so a lot of what we did was trial and error, experimenting and learn as you go. Some of the early stores lacked a lot of features available today but now there really isn’t too much that can’t be done.

Our name changed to CustomYstores.com to take advantage of this niche market until, several years later, Yahoo! said they prefer we not use "Ystores" in our domain name. With their request in mind and a desire to evolve, I started WebStoreSEO.com in 2007 as I broadened our services beyond Yahoo! Stores (Now owned by Turbify) where we remain today.

As a company, WebStoreSEO.com is focused on developing and implementing strategies and designs to increase traffic to clients' web and e-commerce sites, resulting in higher customer acquisition, better customer retention, and measurable return on investment.

We pride ourselves on our strong track record of success and our deep understanding of the latest trends and technologies in the industry. Our team consists of highly knowledgeable and dedicated professionals committed to delivering top-notch services. Communication and customer service continue to be top priorities for us, as we believe that building strong relationships with our clients is key to achieving success. We are confident in our ability to help our clients achieve their marketing goals and drive real, measurable results for their business.

We are competent in all aspects of web development and digital marketing, but we particularly stand out in search engine optimization (SEO) and search engine marketing (SEM). We have achieved first-page rankings for many high-volume keywords for numerous companies across various industries, resulting in high returns. Our clients often remain with us for many years, a testament to our commitment to going above and beyond in every service we provide.

I like to say that we are large enough to get any job done but still small enough to give you the personalized service you desire and deserve. Sometimes we are spread a little thin but we always try to adhere to that philosophy. I have a roll up your sleeves, hands-on approach and I am involved in every project.

Keep in mind, other than working on corporate and client projects, I have also personally owned, developed, optimized, and managed e-commerce and other websites on a variety of platforms. This has given me extensive experience from both sides of the table, encompassing a broad range of technologies and market strategies.

So, if you are looking for a “partner” and not just another “web company”, give us a try. We have the experience, resources and desire necessary to help you compete successfully online. We’ll do our very best not to disappoint you. - Jeffrey Fagan email: Jeff@webstoreseo.com.
