1 – invest in an SEO session to create and distribute a press release for your company
2 – decide what are you want to target and invest on SEO sessions (pay as you go) to produce content to target those areas

How to get started:

1 – press release
At the very least I would suggest investing in 1 SEO session to get some links to your website. If you’ve done no marketing up to now, there are no important websites linking back to yours, so your website has no authority (ranking power) in Google.
Your first couple of sessions should consist of a press release and include some article marketing.

All the above will produce good quality links back to your website, helping you create a little authority.

What this means
When somebody searches for what you offer, Google generally shows those websites with the most authority first in the results.

Generally speaking, authority is built up on hundreds of links, not just a few, but nonetheless, a few is better than none.

The second thing having a few links back to your site will do is encourage Google to index your website more often (to take your site more seriously, if you like) which is also believed to be a ranking factor.

2 – SEO

If your goal is to get new clients from your website, then you need to market your website in order for prospects to find you in the first place.

If this is the case, you need a strategy. The simplest and most effective way to approach this is to invest in a series of SEO sessions to target the areas you want to mine for new business.

I’ve tailored my services to work on a pay as you go basis, which means you can invest on some SEO sessions to cover the areas most important to you, then pause your SEO campaign and measure results, then resume and pause as and when you please.

Ultimately, your SEO should pay for itself and create profit for you. Once your page ranks well in Google for a keyphrase that you’re targeting, it generally stays in the results for some time (as long as your competitions aren’t busy working on their SEO for the same phrase of course). This means that – often times – a single SEO session for a low competition term can get your page up to the top of the results and keep it there for months to come (and sometimes beyond that) thus creating the potential for many sales over and over again. It’s a smart investment compared to a newspaper advertisement that will cost you in the region of £75 for a single week, on a medium that is not making your sales message appear in front of targeted prospects.

Market analysis
The one thing you will need before you create content (articles) to target specific areas, is market research. This consists of keyword research and competitive analysis.

This is what shows you how many people are searching for your keywords, and helps you determine which keyphrases to optmise for.

If you offer policy writing for companies, but nobody is searching for that term, you’d be better targeting corporate legal document writing instead if that’s what your target audience is searching for.

A keyword research will show you who’s searching for what.

That should get you started with your online marketing.

Generally this happens after a website has been updated. The thing to understand here is that what you see in a sear engine’s results are not ‘live’ results.

Google don’t make public when they update their own database. It’s generally (usually) every few days.

When will Google update their search results, and my listing?

Generally, most companies use the best testimonials they have as part of their persuasive sales message. The problem is that  the testimonials don’t always reflect the average user experience.

For instance, if you searched online before today for a course in Internet Marketing, you’d have come across dozens of sites with glowing testimonials and claims based on people who took the course and became very wealthy as a result.

And there it is: those results are not typical. It’s usually the case that 99% of the other buyers didn’t become rich, and many of those didn’t even recoup their investment.

The Federal Trade Commission has decided that this is misleading advertising, and no longer is a small disclaimer that states ‘these results are not typical’ good enough.

You now need (legally) to make it very clear what it is that you’re selling, and the testimonials you use must illustrate the average experience.

Failure to do so can result in a fine of around $11,000

There are also additional guides that state that you must show your trading address in your contact page, as well as have a terms and conditions page with your trading address (again) and so on.

I’m not yet familiar with the whole ruling, but the gist of it is not to create what could be viewed as misleading advertising by showing only the extremely positive testimonials – if these don’t show the average user experience.

That’s my take on it.

If your customers are extremely happy with your products or services and they all give you glowing testimonials, then that shows the average user experience so you should be fine (that’s my take also, not the FTCs).

The bottom line: use the testimonials that show the average user experience and don’t hide your contact information.

1. SEO Earlestown – Drive Traffic to Your Website

If any of the above apply to you and your business, it sounds like you need some professional SEO!

SEO – short for search engine optimisation – is, as the name implies, the art of optimising your website for the search engines (or making your website search engine friendly, if you prefer).

With good SEO comes an increase in search engine rankings (or position) and hand in hand with better rankings comes visitors.

Arguably, the lifeblood of most business websites is the amount of visitors they receive. However, visitors are not the bottom line: conversion is. In order to stay profitable, your website needs to convert visitors into customers. This process is known as conversion.

If you or your business are based in Earlestown, you may qualify for a FREE SEO consultation in which I will help you by answering any questions you may have and present to you a solid strategy for marketing your business effectively on the Internet.

Businesses searching for a SEO in Newton le Willows are also welcome.
