Who Is Your Website Targeting? | Web Design Gwinnett

noreply@blogger.com (Cynthia Mitchell) — Thu, 13 Nov 2014 19:51:00 +0000

Who is your website targeting? If your answer is I don’t know or everyone, then you just may have a problem. Most businesses do have a target and/or niche market(s), even if they do not realize it. Getting to know your current customer base can help you determine who your target market(s) may be. You may want to consider age, gender, geography, income, hobbies, and shopping patterns, when identifying your target market. Once you know who you want to attract with your products or services, you then need to make sure your website is helping you achieve that goal.

Here are a few tips to help you reach your target market:

FOCUSED CONTENT: Don’t simply depend on generic content that you copied from competitors’ websites. You need content that speaks sincerely to your target market about who you are, what you offer and why you want them to be your customer.

SHOW AUTHORITY: Become an expert on the focal points of your industry that would be of interest to your target market. Share your wealth of knowledge on your website, blog posts and social media. Contribute to other websites as well. Build trust with your target market through becoming an authority in your industry.

CREATE TARGET (NICHE) PAGES ON YOUR SITE: Create pages on your website that address very specific products, services or areas of interest. Dive deep with rich content and be sure to continue to tell visitors how your business can enrich their lives.

Target, target, target is the moral of the story. Trying to create a website to combine unrelated services and products that target totally difference markets will likely fail. Know who you want to reach and strategically go after that group. If you need help addressing your target market on your website, contact us, and we can help.

Taking Control of Your Website | Gwinnett Web Designer

noreply@blogger.com (Cynthia Mitchell) — Wed, 03 Sep 2014 19:45:00 +0000

Having a business means having a website. It can be very exciting to have a new site developed or watch your traffic grow on an existing site. There are risks and stress that comes along with having a website as well, including online marketing, hacking and updating the website. These realities can’t be avoided, but you can reduce the stress involved by taking control of your website. Here are 4 things you can do to help you stay in control:

1. Own Your Domain Name: Never allow a web designer, colleague or relative to register your domain name. As the business owner, you need to own your domain name—no exceptions!

2. Keep Track of Your Log In Information: Know the company names and log in information for your domain registration, hosting, business email, etc. There will be numerous times when you will need this information and many of them may be time sensitive so have them at your disposal.

3. Have a Reliable Web Designer: Don’t wait until your site is down or you need urgent updates to find a qualified and dependable web designer. Have your designer’s phone number and email on hand for emergency situations.

4. Know Your Traffic Statistics: Sign up for Google Analytics (or something comparable) and monitor your traffic statistics, including visits, bounce rate, pages visited, etc.

Control your website… don’t let your website control you. Your website is a valuable asset and regulating and monitoring it is crucial. To learn more about how to maintain your website, contact us. We offer expert web design, SEO and marketing consultation services.

6. Is the look, feel and logo used on your website consistent with the rest of your marketing?

7. Are you actively driving traffic to your website?

Do You REALLY Need To Worry About SEO? | SEO Services Gwinnett

noreply@blogger.com (Cynthia Mitchell) — Wed, 04 Jun 2014 16:01:00 +0000

Is SEO really that big a deal? YES! Even if ranking for your major keywords isn’t imperative to your business or marketing model (even though for most businesses it is), the principals behind SEO are still beneficial to your website and marketing overall. For example, these 3 SEO factors have intrinsic benefits and value all their own.

1. Quality Content: Writing good content that will engage users is not just an SEO thing, it’s a good thing in general. Your visitors want quality content. They want to know about the subject matter they are searching for. Vague, thin or outdated content can frustrate visitors, reflect poorly on your reputation and cost you business.

2. Call To Action: Call to actions on your website drive conversions. What business doesn’t want potential clients to call, fill out online forms, or sign up for their newsletter? Asking for business is a positive practice and can make visitors feel welcomed and valued as a potential client.

3. Social Media Engagement: Even if you personally do not like social media, that is completely irrelevant. Many of your website visitors and potential clients do. After all, is your business owner focused or client focused? Be sure to have a strong presence on all social media platforms and links to them on your website.

If you need help getting your SEO on track, we can help. We work with clients in Gwinnett, Metro Atlanta and across the U.S. offering them affordable and effective search engine optimization packages. Call us for a complimentary SEO consultation.

Simple Websites Fast Supports The Women’s Resource Center To End Domestic Violence… Will You?

noreply@blogger.com (Cynthia Mitchell) — Thu, 24 Apr 2014 14:02:00 +0000

For the last 4 years, SWF has supported the heroic and life saving efforts of the Women’s Resource Center To End Domestic Violence. This nonprofit organization has been a dedicated advocate for women and families affected by domestic violence for over 25 years. They serve more than 6,000 individuals annually with programs such as a 24-hour hotline, emergency safehouse, legal and family advocacy, child and youth advocacy, financial education and assistance, support groups, supervised visitation and exchange, and community education. There is no cost for their services, so they rely on us and our support to continue their mission.

I personally volunteer, for their silent auction committee and am asking for your support by making a donation toward our annual silent auction. We accept items valued at $100 and above, and gift certificates valued at $50 or more. All contributions to the event are tax deductible as allowed by law.

This year, the Champions for Change Luncheon will be held on June 3rd at the Georgia Aquarium.

Is Updating Your Website Really THAT Important? | Web Design Gwinnett

noreply@blogger.com (Cynthia Mitchell) — Wed, 19 Mar 2014 16:25:00 +0000

So what is all this fuss about updating your website frequently? Well, there are some pretty important reasons why your website should be updated regularly. Here are a few reasons why you want to keep your website fresh and up to date:

1. IT HELPS WITH SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION: Search engines are always scanning websites for fresh content and factor this into to their rankings. Fresh, unique content can definitely benefit your SEO efforts.

2. KEEPS VISITORS COMING BACK FOR MORE: Fresh content can be enticing to website visitors. For example if someone visits your website 3 times over a year period and saw new content, images, etc. 2 out of those 3 times they will likely be more encouraged to visit again in the future.

3. PROMOTES THE LATEST YOUR BUSINESS HAS TO OFFER: It’s just good for business in general to promote your most current offerings. Telling existing and potential clients or readers what the latest and greatest service or product you have simply makes sense and can help your business grow.

Business owners often are so busy they neglect their websites, not intentionally, but nevertheless it has the same damaging results. Monthly or quarterly website updates are a great idea. The updates do not have to be dramatic or drastic, but should add real value to your website. If your website hasn’t been updated for years, then a more full website makeover may be in order. If you have more questions on updating your website, give us a call or email us today.

3 SEO Factors to Consider in 2014 | Gwinnett SEO Company

noreply@blogger.com (Cynthia Mitchell) — Wed, 08 Jan 2014 17:37:00 +0000

SEO is constantly transforming and changing, and this past year was no different. Though all the changes may seem overwhelming, keeping abreast of the current SEO landscape is crucial to your success. You have to customize your SEO Solutions to ensure you are maximizing your efforts. Here are a few SEO factors you may want to consider for the start of 2014:

1. Google’s Hummingbird Update: Hummingbird was designed to provide end users even better search results, especially as it relates to conversational types of searches. In light of this, you may want to enhance your website content to ensure that it effectively answers conversational type questions related to your products and/or services.

2. Google Analytics Update: If you regularly use Google Analytics, you probably already have noticed that much of the keyword search data is no long there. As a result of Google’s new search privacy policies, very little keyword search data is provided. Creating new methods and work-arounds are important so that you are still able to analyze, assess and improve your website’s performance and rank using Google Analytics.

3. Content is Still King: Creating new, unique and engaging content is pivotal to your SEO success. Update and add to your content frequently and make sure it is well written. Search engines, especially Google, weighs this heavily.

Does SEO Begin & End With Your Website? | SEO Gwinnett | SEO Atlanta

noreply@blogger.com (Cynthia Mitchell) — Mon, 11 Nov 2013 16:10:00 +0000

So once you have your website optimized properly, you’re done right? Wrong! You’re just getting started. SEO is an ongoing and comprehensive effort that expands beyond one time site optimization.

Unique, Keyword Relevant Content
Consistent Branding
Appropriate Links/Link Building (white hat only)

Frequent Updates

Should SEO Be An Ongoing Effort? | SEO Services | SEO Gwinnett

noreply@blogger.com (Cynthia Mitchell) — Tue, 08 Oct 2013 15:01:00 +0000

The question of the day seems to be if SEO really needs to be an ongoing effort… YES! It is not to say that doing some SEO, even once, isn’t much better than ignoring SEO altogether, but to really see long term success and growth you need to have ongoing SEO services in place.

Search engines, particularly Google are moving more and more toward delivering highly relevant, local, fresh content. If your site doesn't have any, you could be left out. Google’s new Hummingbird algorithm only hits this point home even more. Having dated, stale or unfocused content on your site can diminish your online ranking quickly. Even if your initial SEO efforts worked brilliantly, you cannot believe that those results will last indefinitely (because they won't).

Adding new optimized pages, introducing new products/services and focusing on targeted geographical areas can help you gain higher placement on the prominent search engines and actually stay there. To learn more about how ongoing SEO efforts can benefit your business, call us today.

3 Small Business Website Do's and Don'ts | Web Design Gwinnett

noreply@blogger.com (Cynthia Mitchell) — Tue, 24 Sep 2013 13:58:00 +0000

Small businesses need a quality website. But what does "quality" really mean? Every small business is different so their website and visitors will require different things. Still, there are a few generally universal do's and don'ts that you can use as a guide for getting started with your small business website:

Do Have Some Idea of What You Want | Don't Tell The Designer I'm Leaving It All To You: You don't have to know it all or have every detail completely thought through, but have some idea of what you are looking for as far as budget, features, number of pages and general style. Do some research and check out competitor sites as well (local and non-local). This will help stimulate your thought process and give you ideas of what you do and don't want your website to look and feel like.

Do Listen To The Professionals | Don't Let Them Steamroll You: Once you do a little homework, share you ideas with a few potential designers. Get their professional feedback and quotes on your project. They should be able to give you explanations for all of their suggestions so that you can determine if you agree with them or not. Do not take their experience for granted. Many of their ideas may be very helpful and valuable to you, but make sure your ideas are being heard too. The final decision should always be yours.

Do Set A Reasonable Budget | Don't Be Completely Inflexible With Your Budget: Of course most small business owners do not have unlimited budgets. So setting a budget or price range for your web design is a good idea. It's important to keep in mind though that you may have to adjust your budget based on the complexity of what you want or adding important features like SEO to your website. Paying a bit more and getting a site that is much more attractive and effective is well worth it in the long run.

If you need a free web design or SEO consultation, call us today. We work with small businesses everyday to help them grow their businesses. Our small business websites are affordable, fast and marketing focused. We also offer comprehensive SEO services to ensure that your new website is visible online for the right keywords.

How Do You Know If You Need A Website Makeover? | Web Design & SEO Gwinnett

noreply@blogger.com (Cynthia Mitchell) — Wed, 07 Aug 2013 17:55:00 +0000

Most everyone business owner knows that they need a website, but having an outdated or unprofessional website can do more harm than good. Even if your website looks pretty decent and performs okay for you, you still may want to consider a website makeover to ensure that you are maximizing your branding, online visibility, website traffic and website’s ROI. Updating or redesigning your website may be much more simple and cost effective than you think. Here are some questions you should ask yourself to determine if you may need a website makeover…

Has it been more than 3 years since you have made any significant updates to your site?

The chances that your services, products, industry, target market and/or branding hasn’t changed at all in that amount of time is very slim. Your website needs to reflect your current business and customer base at all times.

Is your website optimized for search engines?

If SEO was not a part of your original web design or has not been audited recently for SEO, you need to have your site optimized right away. Overlooking the impact of being visible for your most profitable products and services is costing your business profits.

Have customers complained about your site or their inability to find it?

If your site is difficult to navigate, doesn’t answer basic customer questions quickly or rank for relevant searches, then you need a website makeover ASAP.

Investing is your website and in SEO is well worth it. Your site should be more than a glorified electronic brochure. It should make your company money and help you retain valued customers long term.

noreply@blogger.com (Cynthia Mitchell) — Mon, 29 Jul 2013 16:30:00 +0000

There are so many directions you can go with a website as far as design, graphics, platform and style, but in the end your website (with only a few rare exceptions) needs to hit some basic marketing goals or you will likely only see only minimal success with it. In most cases, business owners want there website to help bring in new customers and retain old ones. To do this your website should hit these marketing basics:

- Give contact information/options (phone and electronic methods) prominently on every page

- Give them at lease 2-3 reasons they should do business with you immediately upon entering the site

- Have consistent branding with all your other marketing

- Allow for easy, consumer-friendly site navigation

- Answer basic questions that are common to your business and industry immediately or within one click

You have minimal time to make an impression with a visitor to your site, in many cases under 15 seconds. Be sure your site is giving them a reason to do business with you, not a reason not to. Don't base your design solely on your personal preferences. After all, your website is for your customers, not for you.

3 Things You Need To Ask Your Web Designer | Web Design Gwinnett

noreply@blogger.com (Cynthia Mitchell) — Wed, 03 Jul 2013 19:38:00 +0000

Finding the right web designer for your project can be quite an exhausting task. When and if you finally do, you may think everything is simply smooth sailing from there. You don’t want to depend on your web designer to “think of everything” though. You want to be sure you are asking the right questions and requesting the right things before your web design project even begins. Here are 3 essential questions you will want to ask your web designer:

1. How long will it take for my website to be designed? While, giving an exact date is not usually feasible or realistic, you should have a rough timeline with specific numbers. “Soon” or “pretty quick” is far too vague. About a week or roughly 2 months is a much more reasonable answer to your question. Also, be sure that the estimation of time makes sense for your project. If your website is only 5 pages, then a month is not a reasonable amount of time to wait for your design completion.

2. How will my site be designed? You should know whether your site will be HTML, Wordpress, Joomla, custom, a template, etc. If you are not sure what options are out there, take the time to do a little research so that you can speak intelligently to your web designer about your options. Choosing the right solution for you needs should be addressed before the web design process even begins.

3. Can you revise the website? Once your site is developed, you may want to make changes to the design, images or content. You need to know if those revisions are included in your design costs or if it is an additional fee for that. You may also want to know of any terms and/or limitations to the type and scope of revisions you may request.

Don’t be afraid to ask questions. If your web designer doesn’t want to answer them, then keep looking. Communication is key during the web development process. If you are looking for a web developer that will take the time to listen to your vision and answer all of your questions, than call us today for a free web design consultation. We have developed custom websites for businesses throughout Gwinnett and across the country.

Hashtags Seem Here To Stay | SEO Gwinnett

noreply@blogger.com (Cynthia Mitchell) — Mon, 17 Jun 2013 17:59:00 +0000

So do you put hashtags (#) after all your social media posts? Do you even know what a hashtag is or what it is for? If you answered "no" to any or all of these questions, you should definitely keep reading. When you see the # symbol before a word on social media, that's a hashtag. It allows your post to be categorized based on the hashtag itself.

How does the hashtag benefit your post? Well, if some one is on Twitter and wants to look for a beauty salon in Atlanta for example, they may search using this hashtags: #atlantasalon. Twitter will then compile results that match that hashtag. So using hashtags can definitely help you put your information, promotions and content in front on interested consumers and fans.

Lot's of marketeers thought hashtags would not stand the test of time and ignored their importance, but it looks like they may be here to stay. Facebook has now announced that they will be using hashtags for categorization and so does Google +. So love it or hate it, it looks like hashtags aren't going anywhere... #getusetoit .

If you have more questions on how hashtags can help your SEO efforts, give us a call for a free SEO consultation #SEO #Gwinnett.
