Is Search Engine Optimization foreign to you?

“WHO” implements and maintains our SEO?

“WHAT” is SEO?

“WHERE” do you start?

“WHEN” do you set up your SEO?

“WHY” is SEO important?

“HOW” does SEO work?

WHO: Alive Media offers several different SEO packages to meet the needs of your growing business, no matter how small or big your business is! Just email us at info@alivemediaonline.com for more questions.

WHAT: SEO communicates to the search engines your intentions so they recommend your website for relevant searches. Search engines want to do their jobs as best as possible by referring users to websites and content that is the most relevant to what the user is looking for. It is a process of organizing and sorting titles, headings, content, keywords, links and tags in best possible way for Bing, Google and Yahoo to find your pages.

WHERE: Keyword strategy is important to implement on your website, but it should also extend to other off-site platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest, etc. Being consistent with keyword phrases within these platforms will only help your branding efforts.

WHEN: A great time to implement your SEO is when you’re considering a site redesign, or planning to launch a new site.

WHY: SEO will help you position your website to be found when people are searching for particular topics. It is not enough these days just to have a website. The search engines add in the values of popularity and links to determine page ranking.

HOW: So how is relevancy determined in SEO?

Content: The title of the site, the text on the page, and descriptions that are given should all have real value, substance and be useful to the keywords given.
Performance: How fast is your site and does it work properly? Some key performance measures for SEO is a mix of branded keywords, how well pages on your site drive search engine traffic, visitors per keyword, and having unique pages on your site because the more content you have the more useful your site is to the consumer.
Authority: Making sure your site have good enough content to build relationships. This indicates to the search engines that your content is a trusted source of information.
User Experience: How does the site look? Is it easy to navigate around? Does it look safe?

New Site Launch – Evans Fitness Club

Evans Fitness Club – Website and Ipad Kiosks

A modern fitness club with state of the art equipment deserves to have an equally impressive website and that’s exactly what Evans Fitness Club has. With a website, Evans Fitness Club can showcase its 50,000 square foot facility on the web together with its high tech exercise equipment which are difficult to find in other facilities within the area.

The website contains all information regarding the fitness facility complete with contact numbers and emails, hours of operation and the management that keeps the place running. Various fitness programs can also be accessed through the site like yoga, Pilates, bootcamps and group exercises with their corresponding schedules. For interested parties, they can ask assistance through the site from members of the customer service team or the sales team. Contact information is available on the website.

iPad kiosks are the latest additions to the facility that could very well facilitate training and efficiency at Evans Fitness Club. Through these iPad kiosks, members can view their schedules as well as the programs the club offers. Training will be smooth-sailing and a lot more manageable with their help.

With an updated training facility, effective training programs, helpful and accommodating coaches plus a website from our web design team, Evans Fitness Club easily becomes the benchmark all other fitness centers tries to measure up to.

Web Design Myths

Here are a couple of web design myths to think about:

Myth #1: “Field of Dreams” Myth (“If you build it, they will come”) – If you’ve seen the Kevin Costner film then you remember how we hears this phrase whispered several times. He listens, builds a baseball field in a middle of a farm and presto, famous baseball players show up.

A lot people carry this misconception about having a website, blog, etc: If it is online (built) then web traffic will just happen and my website will be on the first page of search engine listings. That’s just not the case. Simply put, you must promote your site if you hope to have “hits” on it.

While there are several solutions to increasing traffic and visibility, here are a few tips:

The right code (Search Engine Optimization) – make sure your website has the correct “tags” and code that search engines crawl to index your site.
Advertise – Every business card, email, letterhead and piece of advertisement, whether paper or electronic, should have your web address on it.
Search engine submission – make sure that your site is submitted to search engines. Start with google.com (it’s free!).
Social media – take advantage of social media like twitter, facebook, stumbleuponit, digg, etc. to network and promote your business.
Blogging – consider adding a blog or latest news item to keep new and fresh content on your website.

Myth #2: More is better – The idea here is that the more “stuff” I have on my page (flashing graphics, advertisement banners, blinking text, pictures, etc.), the more people will pay attention to my page. The truth is that most pages like that are simply confusing, poorly designed and annoying. Statistics show that you have probably less than 8 seconds to keep a visitor engaged. If there is too much going on, you’ve lost most. Keep it simple and fresh. Either educate yourself on how to design pages or find a professional web design company to do it for you. Either way, it is possible to have a site that is both professional and simple.
