Make sure you review the company and what they are offering good. SEO placement and SEO submission services are COMPLETELY different. No company CAN guarantee placement, however they can Guarantee submission. YOU Will find a lot of companies guaranteeing submission, stay away from those if possible. If you have just a few hours once a month, you don't really need to pay for services at all.
Queen,Do you mind me asking who you use at 3.99 a month and how are you doing it yourselves?
Vista Print has a "optimizer" feature that you can pay for that supposedly allows you to boost your search potential by others. What we have to realize is this..........how many providers are truly seeking a billing service versus a medical biller??? Even with the clients that I have landed via Craigs list, they (all but 2) were seeking an in-house medical biller. I had to market myself to them. Vista Print has a way to view who comes to your site, ironically most on my website, come from this forum. Every now and then I get providers who have "searched" for a billing company and will send me an email requesting more information. The one provider I did get that way, thank God I am an investigator, she was a scam artist.

Like you said I am mostly spreading the word on my own besides the search optimizer. I like that vistaprint shows you who has visited your site. I get a lot of visitors from here but I have also got some from other areas here in california.
I am paying like $3.99 a month to optmize the word search and other marketing tips through my sites server.
they have a SEO optimizer for $55.00 a year so that's not to bad.
A lot of our members get hits from their sites, I am constantly getting requests from doctors for referrals and recommendations from our listings, so they are out there!!Be careful of the "template" websites, I see so many of them where I say.."I've seen this one before" If you must use a template service go for one that will allow you to buy the unique design if offered. I like Vistaprint for my biz cards and they have gotten better over the years. QuoteI am paying like $3.99 a month to optmize the word search and other marketing tips through my sites server.$3.99 is not bad at all, but you can save that 3.99 just by learning the basics with HTML and the meta tags, it only takes about 5 min once a month. Quotethey have a SEO optimizer for $55.00 a year so that's not to bad. Is that just for one URL? Does it spider? I ask because you can do better than $55 a ear and have multiple URL's which is better than depending on the search engines to spider the one site. I have a high end one because I have a website design/hosting company in addition to medical billing and it allows for unlimited URL's, all updates are free and no annual fee.
I definetely need to get better with html. I have a friend who can do it. I am going to have them design a new template for me so my website doesn't look like others and stands apart. I also designed my business cards off of vistaprint but I had my logo created by a design person.
