Growing Westchester Firm Seizes Top Google Ranking

Hartsdale, NY (PRWEB) September 16, 2008 -- Cut-It-Out Communications (www.cioediting.com), a full-service Westchester public relations firm, today announced a surprising top Google ranking after only five years of existence.

The search term for the company was geo-targeted for the phrase "Westchester County public relations" and has remained the number one response for several months, besting veteran organizations serving the region for decades. The company's rise occurred after retaining a website design and SEO company, Calico Systems.

Willy Gissen, President of Cut-It-Out Communications, said, "I was flabbergasted at the results. Westchester public relations is an extremely competitive field, and this ranking was totally unexpected. We learned a lot about online activities from Calico and hope to spread some of that knowledge to colleagues in our industry."

Joanna Cali, President of Calico Systems, added, "We've achieved some great results with our SEO, website coding and design. But the project with Cut-It-Out Communications was unique in its collaboration and generated a plethora of interesting ideas. We look forward to helping the company build upon its success."

Mr. Gissen went on to discuss the concept of geo-targeting and how it can help almost any organization. Instead of competing against the entire nation -- searching for "public relations" returns thousands of results -- the competition can be narrowed by including a regional area to make the key phrase more specific.

Calico also achieves its results by focusing on inbound links for its clients' websites. These links are emphasized in the search-engine process by Google's ranking algorithm and can be boosted by online press releases, articles submitted to content provision sites, and blogs.

Founded in 2003, Cut-It-Out Communications focuses primarily on business-to-business, hi-tech and local political clients. The company has also provided grantwriting assistance to non-profit organizations, including a proposal submitted at the Clinton Global Initiative, and recently edited a book by a local radio celebrity.
