About Promoting Your Website

Very often people just need a website as a legitimate representation of their business, and once it's built everyone can relax, but if you want to use your site to bring in new business, it is essential that the site be active.  That means adding new content, and promoting it with social media.

When we create your website, we optimize the site structure right from the beginning, taking into consideration, menus, keywords in URL's, length of Title tag, snippet description, subheadings, labelled images, readability, and much, much more, so your website is optimized for the search engines.

When your website is ready, we submit a sitemap to Google, Yahoo, Bing, Yandex and Ask (Search Engines).  These are the big ones, and the little search engines feed off of them, but if you wish, you can always add your site to the smaller ones too.  

We then promote your website with Active Search Results Search Engine and we submit your site monthly to Attracta SEO Company. 

Now it's time for you to get involved.  

To Help Promote Your Website/Business 

1.  Ask every customer, in person with reminder cards, or by email with links, to give you a Review.

2.  "Claim Your Business".  Read about Citations and use the list to register your business with as many directories as possible.

3.  If you are a local business, try to get other businesses to link to you.  These are called "external links" and they will help your rank if Google thinks others are linking to your website.  Do a search for "Local Directories".   They are easy places to get external links.

4.  Do a search for "Submit My Website" and list your site on as many FREE search engines and directories as possible.  I personally don't think it's worth it to pay for this service when it's something that anyone can do.  It's just time-consuming.

5.  Ask friends, relatives and co-workers to do a search for your main keyword or keyword phrase, and then click on the link to your website.  Let them know that your site may not be on the first page.  It may not be on the fifth page.  They will just have to keep looking until they find your site, but don't let them click on a link other than yours.  Google wants to know what sites are being clicked for what keywords, so if they click on another site, they are actually promoting others instead of you.

Then ask them again in a few days, and again in a few more days until you lose all your friends.  LOL

6.  Try to exchange links with other sites. Links to other websites, and links from other websites to yours, are an important ranking factor.

7.  Create a Facebook page and ask people to "Like" and "Follow" you.  You can do the same with other social media like Twitter and Instagram.  LinkedIn and Alignable often get excellent results for business to business clients.

8.  Put a "Subscribe to Newsletter" form on your website, and notify people when you post new content, have a sale, etc.

9.  I will get you listed with Google Business Profile.  This will put your website in the top right corner when someone does a search for your business.  Ask people to post reviews.
