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?

Augusta, The Masters and Your Website

The Masters® practice rounds begin in less than a week. Personally, this is one of my favorite weeks of the year. During this week, much of the national eye, really international, focuses on our community in Augusta, GA and the Augusta National. It really is a fun part of living in the CSRA.

For local business owners that have a brick and mortar storefront, it’s also a great opportunity to take advantage of the thousands of guests the tournament brings. That’s a much welcomed business boost, especially in the current state of the economy. If you’re a business owner, you no doubt have spent a good bit of time and resources in getting ready. Have you considered your web presence in those preparations?

If not, here’s a scenario to consider: A tourist is in town for the tournament. They’re looking for a place to eat dinner at that evening or looking for something to do. There’s a high probability that they will be searching for places using their smart phone or laptop. If they’re driving, it’s more likely they’ll be grabbing their iphone or droid and searching for a place online.

Here are some questions to think through:

Do I have website? Is it one that I would be proud to show off and for people to see?
Do I have some promotional items ready? Maybe a special Master’s week deal?
Is my website high enough in the search engine listings so that it can even be found?
Should I have a mobile version of my website or will my current site work?
Do I have social media connections to the site (Twitter, Facebook, etc.) so that customers can keep up to date with sales, product offerings, new releases, etc.?
Is my website current and up to date?

Advantages to Having Your Own Website

I was meeting with a client earlier this week and in the course of conversation, he was counting off the number of colleagues in his profession that did not have a website at all…not even a simple one page “business card” site. In thinking about that, I put together a quick list of advantages to having your own website.

Professionalism – The amount of users on the web has grown 200% each year over the past 3 years. If you look at a Fortune 500 company, then you will notice that almost all of them have a website. A well-done website, including your own domain name (www.yourcompanyname(dot)com), communicates to a potential client that your company is professional and is doing well.
Websites are a relatively inexpensive means of advertising – Whether you pay someone to design your site or do it yourself, your business can have a professional web presence for relatively little money, not to mention the vast number of people you can reach.
“Piggy Back” Advertising – whether you’re using TV, a newspaper ad, direct mail or a billboard, at some point the amount of information that you can (and want) to communicate has to come to an end (unless you’ve got more money than you know what to do with). The great advantage of having a website is that you can list the web address on any piece of advertising, and a potential client can go to your site and get plenty of information.
Increase your potential target market – While it may not be the goal of every small or medium size business to go international, a website can increase exposure to more people inside and outside of your current area of focus.
Increased convenience for a customer – Whether you are selling products or services, a website is a convenient way for a potential client or current customer to purchase products, get information, contact you or your office and give feedback.

A website doesn’t have to be overly complicated or confusing. The important thing is to begin to establish a credible online presence and go from there. Questions? email Alive Media at info@alivemediaonline.com
