When I started building websites back in 1996 part of the process was to teach small business owners that having a company website was the way ahead and not just the latest fad.
At the same time I was fortunate in that my position was in a marketing and not a design department. That way, I got to learn how to websites needed to work as a promotional tool rather than look pretty.
So when internet marketing became a buzzword, I was already there!
With the growth and importance of web-based search engines such as Google came a whole new discipline - SEO (search engine optimisation).
Search Engine Optimisation is crucial to every business success
Once you have a professional-looking design and the functionality is working correctly, you need to constantly market your business online. Keep regularly updating your website and business blog. Fresh content keeps both the search engines and potential customers interested and aware of your products and services.
SEO (Search Engine Optimisation)
An ongoing SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) program is vital. Don’t think a one-off ‘makeover’ is going to be enough. The search engines are looking for your website and blog to continually add relevant, authoritative and good quality in-bound links.
Furthermore, once you start to receive high ranking for popular keywords, your competitors will also be attempting to leapfrog you in the rankings.
There is plenty of help at hand as search engine marketing is big business in 2010 and so it is crucial to setup a good ongoing working relationship with an SEO company you can trust.
