A recent internet marketing study has confirmed that almost 90 percent of potential web customers use search engines to find products and services. SEO, or search engine optimization, is the method used to attract visitors to a web site. Simply publishing a web site does not guarantee that search engines have indexed your web site, or that your web site will automatically show up in the SERPS (Search Engine Results Pages). We strategically market your web site to search engines, which in turn drives potential customers to your business.

Another important aspect of SEO is “local visibility”, or your website’s position in Google Places, Yahoo Local and Bing Business Portal, just to name a few. Consider these findings released by Google:

• Almost 80% of consumer spending occurs within 50 miles of their residence.
• Over 100 million people a month use Google Maps from mobile phones to find directions and information.
• 97% of consumers search for local businesses online.
• 60% of local searches on Google lead to sales.

When using search engine results to find a product or service, potential customers rarely go past the first page. If you are not on the first page, your website will probably not be found and all the money spent on building a web presence is wasted. All the major search engines establish a user’s location to determine what results will be displayed (using either the IP address or GPS on mobile devices). It is for this reason that your business website needs to be optimized for local visibility.

Our SEO services will get you listed using on-page optimization and relevant listings.
