Grow Your Local Business Online

Do a search for your business, plus a local modifier.  For example: home contractor minneapolis, weddings st paul, and boats minneapolis.
Do you see your website in all areas of the local search:

• in the top ten local listings, next to the map?
• in the "natural" listings, under the map?
• in the pay-per-click area, in the right column?

If you don't, you are losing potential customers, as they are simply not finding your website when they search for your services and products. Let us help you dominate all these areas so your website will attract those customers, all while you do what you do best: serve your customers.

When you do a search for your local business, are you showing up for the local terms in the search engines' "natural" search results?  Try a search for your local business plus your locality, for example "training minneapolis", "photography st paul" or "tree services st paul".

Is your business showing up in the search results (under the map, if there is one)? This area is often the most trusted area for searchers, as search engines carefully craft their algorithms to serve up what they have determined best suits the searchers' needs.

Let us provide the services that get your site ranked in this important area, so prospects can come to your website and turn into customers.

If you want people to find your website, you want the phrases/keywords your prospective customers use found on properties throughout the web. Towards this, article marketing is very effective, as it gives your business multiple places on the web for people - and search engines - to find you. Plus, other people will often take these articles and add them as content to their websites and newsletters with your links embedded in their content.  It is a win-win for all, and the best way to get known.

You can promote your business, as well as create multiple properties throughout the web with press releases. People are always attracted to interesting news, and their opinion of your business increases as they read press releases. Plus, there are now online press release services that will distribute your press releases throughout the web. Therefore, people - and search engines -  can find out the unique news and events of your business throughout the web.

Many people find is difficult to write press release - what do you write about, and how do you write it? That is where we come in. We can write press releases, as well as distribute the press releases to continuously-vetted electronic press distribution services.  

Do you have to call in an HTML expert every time you want to add or edit your website? That can be costly! Plus, this HTML-expert dependance can severely decrease the chance that you will add those new, fresh updates that keep people - and search engines - coming to your site.

If you want to change your site, we offer the ability to create a new site in Drupal, the foremost content management system. With Drupal, you can add and edit changes yourself. Plus, Drupal is a premier system for getting the search engines to find your site. This page is an example of Drupal in action. Note how you can click on the "read more" link for each of the services, and go to a new page. Therefore, this one page is, in effect, over ten pages of website content. Therefore, there is a ten-fold chance for people - and search engines - to find you. Plus, Drupal is written with "search engine optimization" in mind, and includes all of the features that search engines are looking for when they index the pages to serve to your prospective buyers searches.

If you don't have a website, or want to refresh your site, we can set you up with a basic Drupal package with a standard theme. If you want more than that - we have a wide system of partners we work with to give you superior website design and development. Note, though, that we can still provide you the local services we offer if you don't want to update your site to Drupal.
