Small Business SEO Management

These days your SEO (Search Engine Optimization) strategy and ratings with search engines are extremely important to your business and its’ web impact.   I suggest using a hybrid CMS site that integrates your blog with your regular html pages and content.  This allows you to blog regularly and include keyword tags which the search engines will pick up and your ratings will begin to improve.  The first important step is using  key phrases.  Key phrases are words that people actually type into Google or Yahoo etc when they are searching for something.  Thorough key word research is essential  if you wish to improve your organic website rating.  Here are two free tools that you can use to effectively research your keywords.  Google Keyword tool and SEO Book Keyword Tool

Local Marketing Solutions that Work!

People are searching… not in the “yellow pages”, but online. The question is… are you easily found by those local consumers who are in proximity of your business?

FACT: “83% of U.S. households now use the Internet as an information source when shopping locally for products and services… the Internet will soon surpass newspapers as a local shopping information resource.” Source: The Kelsey Group

Because these consumers are actively looking to shop locally they are motivated BUYERS!

PROBLEMS:

1. Local offline businesses often have very limited online visibility in their local market, when consumers do searches for their services.

2. Local offline businesses often not listed in Google’s local business directory listing & Google Maps. Many local consumers do searches for local business phone numbers, hours of operation and directions so they do map searches.

3. Local offline businesses often have poor online visibility & branding when consumers do searches for the business’s name. Many consumers do searches on search engines and now searches are done more often on mobile phones and smartphones for specific company names in order to get phone numbers, hours of operation and directions.

SOLUTIONS:

Within 3 months time, we have been able to help local businesses greatly increase their company’s visibility online (using 2 key strategies) which has resulted in huge gains in visitors to their new updated and locally optimized mobile website & local Google business listing.

New CMS website live!

I just finished building a great CMS website which I love and so does my client!   Shane Ann Younts teaches Voice and Speech for Actors in NYC and is a well known expert in the field.  She needed a creative site, fun, innovative yet professional.  It also needed to be optimized for mobile technology and social media as most of her students and clients range between 18-35.  Check out some of her students at www.shaneannyounts.com

“Virtual Webster has been an amazing source of information on creative web design and innovation.   Now I connect with my audience in various ways but most importantly I am connected and reach them through mobile technology.   My site looks fabulous and it builds confidence in my business.”

We built her a fabulous looking site with all the functionality she needed.  The blog automatically posts to her facebook account and has some links coming back in to please the search engine robots.   The site renders for all mobile technology out there.   She can upload blogs right from her I-phone.   Using some slick portfolio technology the “what my students say” page drops the head shots as if from the sky……zup zup zup…..It is a huge success.
