We are currently Mr. Kirkland's full time web staff. We designed every aspect of his website, we build links for him, handle copywriting, and are currently working on a custom IDX solution unlike anything available in his area.
In the beginning
We first met Ed Kirkland--a realtor/real-estate agent in Destin, Florida-- near the end of May. He was working at the time with an SEO company that had charged him quite a lot, and yet had not achieved any material results. In fact, he had a total of only three backlinks, and no search-engine placement to speak of. Ed said to us, "Here are my keywords: Destin Real Estate & Emerald Coast Real Estate". The rest is history.
Testimonial from Mr. Ed Kirkland
I had been handling my own SEO and web site development for going on nine years with a reasonable level of success. Slowly, more and more of my sales were coming from internet generated leads, but as the internet grew and search engines became more sophisticated, I found myself spending more and more time studying the internet and SEO. I had to make a tough decision. If I wanted to go “All The Way” and get really serious in sales I needed to hire a professional SEO company so I could devote more of my time to improving lead conversion and marketing, advertising and managing my team and my company.
I figured I had enough experience to find the best. What I did in reality was throw away a fortune on SEO's that knew little more than myself. It was depressing! Then I met Morgan Carey, a.k.a. SeoGuy, owner of Real Estate Optimization. I realized right then that what I needed to do was cut my losses. Even though I had already invested a ton into a dud SEO firm, I needed to move on! I have learned after many years in business that sometimes you just have to face reality, take the hit, brush off your bruised ego and move on. I decided to stop wasting money and time and hire SEO-GUY. And I’m glad I did!
Folks, this is the guy all your SEO people go to to find out what they are doing wrong. And he didn’t even tell me. I discovered it for myself. See for yourself on www.seochat.com, www.seo-guy.com/forum/, www.realestatewebmasters.com or any other forum where SEOs hang out. Odds are, if you have a good SEO, SEO-GUY is their consultant already!
In a little over two months, my site had risen dramatically in all the search engines and business is getting better every day as a result. To sum it up, stop wasting time, energy and money on an ineffective SEO campaign. If you have gone more than a couple of months without a dramatic improvement in your search engine rankings you are throwing your money away, period!

Exclusivity:
If you are a realtor that services any of Ed's areas, we're sorry, but we can't help you. For as long as Ed Kirkland is a client, in any capacity, he owns exclusive rights to Real Estate Optimization Services for his areas, and we will not SEO sites competing with his. Good news for anyone else, though (especially if you're a realtor!)--we have a considerable knowledge base when it comes to optimizing websites for the Real-Estate profession--in fact, we have a full-time staff and forum dedicated to it, at www.realestatewebmasters.com. And yes, there is a thread for Mr. Kirkland and his Website: Read the Ed Kirkland thread here. In reference to Ed's site, one forum member even went so far as to say:
"I like it based on the search-engine friendliness. It should be in the books on how to make a search-engine friendly Real Estate web site..." --Member: Site Tutor
