Your website design has many target audiences.  These could include you,  the search engines, the boss, current and future employees, donors or a board of overseers,  but most importantly your "target audience".  These are the folks we need to inspire and encourage to take action. We can help you inspire acts of inspiration like subscribing, donating, making contact, social sharing or watching a video.  WordPress helps us do that while also providing responsive design, cross-browser compatibility and code validation. Yep we do that too. Our WordPress services enable you to reach your target audience and provide a pleasant website experience for your customers.

Where can we look for speed optimization improvements?

• Your web hosting server
• Your CMS
• Your configurations and settings
• Your code
• Your content
• Your DNS provider

When you get into the solutions, you will find words and phrases like; DNS Lookups, HTTP requests, gzip compression, image size, redirects, broken links, image dimensions, CDN (content delivery network), and out of date software.

A thriving local pest control company was seeing page load speeds of up to 6 seconds a page.   We provided an audit, determined where to focus and started optimizing.  The client was thrilled to see page load speeds under 2 seconds. If your pages are taking over 2 seconds to load, we would be happy to provide an audit to show you what kind of improvement is possible.

Google AdWords PPC campaigns can be very valuable business drivers, when configured properly. Otherwise a campaign can be a worthless financial drain.  Your AdWords campaign configuration needs to be optimized from the start, from day parting to geo limits, from campaign structure to keyword groupings. But, first, do you have a product or service people are searching for and well written and properly designed landing pages that converts? We can help.

You have an existing Google AdWords account and maybe have been running the campaign yourself until now. Or you want the confidence of knowing that the campaign is fully optimized before you double or triple your spend since things are looking good. We don't have to run your campaign. We can audit the settings and configuration, tweak and optimize the campaign and turn it back over to you. If you are interested in Bing, Yahoo or other networks, we can help.

Would you enjoy flying with a pilot in a storm with no instruments? Me either. But that is a legitimate comparison to using paid search with no conversion tracking in place. Instead of flying blind and spending handsomely for it, better to have the complete set of tools available to show where you have been, where you are and where you are headed. It's not the clicks, page views or visitors. It is instead the sales that matter.

Most piano tuners don't crank the handle once on each note and leave it there. There is a bit of back and forth, some testing either side and then the decision that the true note has been found.  Then depending on conditions the process is repeated when tuning is required in the future. Your campaign also needs constant tuning and testing.  Can we improve conversions by altering the language on the ad? Can we reduce bid prices by altering the landing page? Constant optimization in a changing market gives you the best return on investment.

The properly designed landing page provides an optimum buying environment for your visitor.  Choices are limited, objections are answered, the value is clear and next steps are obvious. For most, that description is like no other page or post.  This customized experience maximizes the potential benefit for your business. Employing A/B split testing is a proven method for seeing solid percentage point gains in conversions.  Contact us now.

The foundation of successful search marketing efforts start with an audit to answer primary questions.  What assets do we have? What is the quality, quantity and relative value of our current assets? What resources do we have (staff, funding, content, knowledge, time) and how much effort is required to make improvements that will make a difference?

Real estate agents advise sprucing up a house before putting it on the market. Fresh paint and mulch, removing unnecessary items and ensuring that everything is functioning optimally sells more houses. The same holds true for search marketing. The audit will reveal what is not functioning optimally and what needs to be removed or added. The basics in the code and the content (text, images, video, audio and more) need to be in place before pushing for more visitors.

Your location can provide huge advantages in the search results when you leverage local search. Local citations, links from local organizations, maps, reviews, ratings, social can all be powerful optimization features. Consistently formatted name, address and phone number (NAP) in the major directories and on your site ensure the search engines know who you are.

Valuable content benefits your visitors. If you explain thoroughly something that they want, you might have a sale. Really valuable content will attract links to your pages and improve your rankings. Social sharing through Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, etc.  make it very easy for word to spread about great new content.  We have coached and rewritten content for clients until they became independent authors. Contact us now.

The assessments that we perform at the beginning of an engagement and the recommendations that we offer on a continual basis are strategic. In some cases we move on to tactics to implement.  Some require broader assistance to clarify online business objectives, opportunities, resources and the challenges of a proposed entry into a digital channel.  We have the background and expertise to take on these challenges.

Revealing and evaluating marketing resources and existing assets and then aligning them with business goals brings clarity and focus.

How do your design, content, services, link profile and other assets compare to your competitors? Where can modest changes result in out-sized gains?

With a clear idea of business goals and drivers, the resources and assets at hand and knowledge of your competitors we can determine where to look for the talent to bring the business to the next level. Do you have staff on-hand or are contract specialists needed or will a training or hybrid solution work the best?

What types of content should be created? Where should it be published? Do you have the connections and resources in place to optimally benefit from off-site publishing? From Strategy to implementation, we can help. Contact us now.
