Search Engine Optimisation
How do people access my website?
Accessing
your website can be done by typing in a URL (website address) or
clicking on a link to your website. Ensure your website address is
prominantly displayed on business cards, brochures and print
advertisements. Links from search engines, emails or other websites is
more effective as there is no need to type in the web address.
How can my website be found in search engines?
Search
Engine Optimisation is relatively new phenomonan that promotes websites
in search engines. Google is responsible for more than 75% of website
searches and is the most common means of searching for information
across the globe. Having your site well ranked in Google, Yahoo and
other search engines is the most effective method of generating traffic
to your site - but the process of optimising your website is complex
and can be time consuming.
Why is it important to have content in my website?
People
browsing websites are generally researching before buying. It is
important to give your audience enough information to encourage them to
the contact you – but not too much to overwhelm them.
Should I have more or less content?
This
depends entirely on your industry and the product or service that you
are offering. In our experience, service based industries need a
greater amount of written content
Is it better to write the content myself or use a copywriter?
Copywriting
is one of the most essential elements of effective online marketing.
Often there is a difficulty in balancing content that grabs attention
with the ultimate intention of having the reader take some form of
action and content that is being found in search engine listings. No
one knows your business better than you do – but communicating in
writing is difficult for some people. Generally it is best to draft
your ideas and have a professional copywriter finish it off for you.
