I’ll help your company develop a Total Internet Presence (SM) – The combination of Internet-focused strategy, design, marketing and technology that protects your brand and grows your business.
SEO – essential for your website’s success:
SEO (search engine optimization) is the process of optimizing a website and web pages to achieve high rankings in the results of a search engine such as Google. Whether your market is Columbus, Ohio or the world, SEO can make a huge difference to your bottom line. Consider these facts:
- Search is the #2 daily activity of Internet users, just behind email
- Only 1/3 of searchers go past the first page of search engine results
- The top 4 listings may get as much as 80% of all clicks.
- Nearly 40% of search engine users believe that the top ranked sites for a search are the leaders in their industry.
Effective SEO increases website visits and improves brand reputation.
Social Media – is it right for your business?
I’ll help your organization use Social Media in conjunction with other Internet marketing tools to improve consumer perception of your brand and grow your business. For a brief introduction to Social Media, view “Social Media Explained.” Also, be sure to read my blog post “What to look for in a Social Media consultant.”
