Job #1 is making sure people can find YOUR site when they need a local retailer that does what you do. That's exactly what SEO accomplishes.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO), is a combination of Web design and marketing techniques. The goal is to take full advantage of the organic (free) listings that major search engines like Google, Yahoo, and Bing provide to all Web sites.

Since people rely on search engines to find what they need, achieving maximum visibility for your Web site is critical.

Some SEO work (like Keyword placement, XML and HTML Site Map creation, and Meta Tag design) is done while designing your Web site. Additional techniques are employed during the marketing phase. We do NOT use banned techniques or shortcuts designed to trick the search engines. Rest assured, we will optimize your site properly.

Careful placement of keywords throughout your site ensures that people can find your site.

Our experts carefully place keywords and keyword combinations throughout the content of your Web site, as well as in the tags of your Web site. This is essential to ensuring that people can find your site.

This does NOT consist of merely listing keywords on your site, nor does it include repeating keywords over and over again. Those techniques are known as "keyword spamming" and are banned by all major search engines including Google, Yahoo, and Bing. Our experts do NOT employ ANY banned techniques, ever.

Carefully constructed XML and HTML Site Maps are critical to ensuring that people can find your site.

Our experts carefully construct XML and HTML Site Maps in compliance with established guidelines and protocols, including those practiced by top search engines like Google, Yahoo, and Bing.

Our carefully constructed XML and HTML Site Maps ensure that both humans and search engine bots (spiders/crawlers) can navigate your site effectively.

Offering newsletter signup is an effective way to capture a visitor's contact info.

All quality Web sites offer email newsletter signup for one reason: it is an effective marketing tool. People are not responsive to junk mail they get from the post office like they once were, but everyone uses email.

Sending out regular email newsletters to people who have subscribed is a very important component in maximizing the overall effectiveness of your Web site as a tool to help you to acquire new customers.

We're not talking about spam. People will NOT react well to spam, but people will respond favorably to email that interests them once they have requested it.

Integrating your Web site with social media sites like Facebook and Twitter will serve you well.

For example, when a visitor "likes" your Web site on Facebook, everyone on that person's Facebook friend list will see it. That means free advertising for you.

If you are active (professionally) on Facebook and Twitter, there is a tremendous benefit to having your Facebook status updates and tweets displayed automatically on your Web site. We know how to set this up the right way for you.

There are many other uses and benefits of Social Media Integration, particularly when coordinated with your site design and other marketing efforts. Contact us for a consultation.

A blog is a valuable feature to have on your Web site.

In addition, spending just a few minutes blogging every day adds rich content to your Web site and can greatly aid the SEO process. (Remember, SEO is an absolutely essential marketing technique.)

Like the blog set up, blogging must be done correctly for it to be effective. We also provide blogging services as part of our ongoing marketing packages.

Local SEO is essential to ensure your site is found by people using mobile devices.

When mobile users do a search, results are displayed based on their current location.

The results displayed to person who is using a mobile device such as a smart phone or tablet may be drastically different than the results shown to someone using a desktop in the same physical location. This can be attributed to SEO vs. Local SEO. Some Web developers optimize their clients' sites for mobile users, and some don't.

Our experts will ensure that your site is optimized for both standard SEO and Local SEO.

This is a very important marketing component for businesses.

Maps Optimization culminates in your business being displayed at or near the top of the Maps results when people in your vicinity are looking for a business like yours on major search engines like Google, Yahoo, and Bing.

The Maps results are often very different than standard organic search results. Having top listings in both is important.

Our experts will ensure that you are listed properly in the Maps results.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO), Maps Optimization, and Local SEO are subsets of Search Engine Marketing (SEM).

While the goal of SEO, Maps Optimization, and Local SEO is to take full advantage of the organic (free) listings that major search engines like Google, Yahoo, and Bing provide to all Web sites, it is important to keep in mind that search engines make their money by charging businesses for advertising.

Combining SEO, Maps Optimization, and Local SEO with a paid SEM campaign is a winning strategy that will enable you to reach the maximum number of potential customers. We are adept at all of these techniques. In addition to SEO, Maps Optimization, and Local SEO, we can create, deploy, and manage a paid SEM campaign for you.

Listings in certain Web directories can help direct prospective customers to your Web site. These include sites like Yelp and several Yellow pages sites. Directories which are locality specific can also be very helpful.

Integrating your Web site with Facebook and Twitter will serve you well. When a visitor "likes" your Web site, everyone on that person's friend list will see it. That means free advertising for you.

But integrating your Web site with social media sites is just the tip of the iceberg. Facebook and Twitter can be utilized for additional, valuable marketing.

We are experts at making social media work for you.

Email marketing, when done correctly, is one of the most effective marketing methods available.

When you send an email to someone who didn't request or authorize communication from you it's called SPAM. Don't SPAM. It's unethical and can cause serious repercussions if you are caught doing it, not to mention you will not make a positive impression on the people you are SPAMMING.

Avoid purchasing or renting what some unscrupulous marketers call "opt-in lists." If you email to people on those lists, you are SPAMMING. The only way for someone to "opt-in" to YOUR list is to sign up on YOUR Web site.

You can and should send email to the people who opt-in on your Web site. Email marketing must be done correctly. Let our experts put together a winning email marketing campaign for you.

Blogging can add rich content to your Web site, and can greatly enhance your site's reach.
