Website SEO and Search Marketing

SEO & Website Marketing

How often do you click past the first page of search results when you’re looking for something online? If you’re like most people, the answer is probably, “Rarely.”

If your business isn’t showing up immediately for your desired keyword terms, do you think people are finding you on page two, three, four, or beyond?

No matter your field, the first page of Google
is where you always want to be.

So how do you get there?

Search engine marketing has exploded over the past few years. It is an absolutely essential piece of any marketing plan. Small business owners have come to realize that merely having a web presence is not an automatic guarantee that their website will appear in search engine results – in fact, far from it.

Serious marketing efforts are necessary to make sure a search engine recognizes and shares the pages of your site. Without search engine marketing, you might as well not have a website at all. With technology comes great things, but it also means there are plenty more marketing and promotional responsibilities for every single enterprise so that you can increase visibility and stay on everyone’s radar.

Make your website an online superstar with Google+ Local (formerly Google Places).

Google+ Local is a no-brainer and a must-have when it comes to internet marketing. And, even better, this extremely powerful way of getting your business found by searchers is free.

Get on the Google Map

Another crucial element of search engine marketing is Google Maps, which is a completely separate search engine from the regular Google search.

This element of searching offers street maps, route planners, information about public transportation, and – most importantly – an urban business locator. All businesses “exist” on Google Maps, but this site isn’t going to do all the marketing for you. Business owners need to claim their account and optimize the account to vie for a top position in the search results.

Onsite Content Authoring

Onsite content simply means content that is found on your site – whether that’s the “about us” page or “services.” But onsite content also includes a blog that is integrated into your site, and search engines are incredibly friendly to websites that have regularly updated content via a blog or news section. But remember that your blog is only as good as the content that populates it – the first part of the goal is to get visitors to find your site through content that includes strategic placement of keywords, but the second part of the goal is to keep them there once they arrive. Your content must inform, entertain, and engage with a light-handed soft sell. Our professional writers create that kind of customized content that proves to search engines that your site’s well-written articles are worth anyone’s time.
Offsite/Off-Page Optimization/Link Building

References to your website (citations) can be optimized just as the content of your site is optimized. Inbound links (IBLs) are a critical part of achieving high rankings. IBLs are links from other websites to your website.

Social bookmarking is a method for Internet users to organize, store, manage and search for bookmarks of resources online. These bookmarks can be shared amongst users on the internet. Bookmarks create back links for your site and lend your site credibility with the search engines.
Social Media

Social media is a vast territory that includes popular sites like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, LinkedIn, and Pinterest. Not in the mood to manage these social sites on your own? We have people to do that for you. But the bottom line is that if you want to compete, you have to start creating some hash tags and beyond.
Press Releases

Press releases get the word out about your business, but the goal is to get accepted by reputable press release distribution networks because then your search engine results will be even more enhanced. The press releases our writers create for you will be newsworthy and interesting, but they will also be laced with keywords that get you even more search engine love.
