Search engines

If you're going to update your own website you need to be aware of how the search engines work and how they view your website.

There's lots of advice about what the search engines look for on your web pages over at www.panpage.com - how to choose search keywords, how to use your keywords and where on the page to put them etc etc.

Getting links from other websites can be time-consuming but is worth it as inbound links from good quality websites in a similar or complementary line of business will help raise your site's position in the search results.

Google My Business

For many search categories, and especially where you include a town or postcode in your search, Google will return a few ads first, a couple of natural search results, and then a map with pointers to local businesses which match your search.

To get yourself and your website into these local results you need to set up a local business listing. It only takes a few minutes and it's free. Its well worth doing for any business or organisation with a local client base.

Social media

Love it or hate it, its just another way of communicating. For some people its a way of life, for others its the worst time waster imaginable. But if you're in business, you can't ignore it.

We can offer advice on how social media can help your business, and depending what will work best for you, we can set up the relevant widgets on your website, or point you in the direction of experts who can manage a social media campaign for you.
