3. Social Media social-media

Traditional advertising is expensive, in decline and is mostly ineffective because most people these days don’t like advertising, don’t trust advertising and do all they can to “skip” through ads or avoid them completely. So how do people find out about businesses, products and services? . . . mostly by recommendations from friends, “Google” searches for information and via Social Media. More than 25% of the population on planet Earth have an active FaceBook account, that’s around 1.8 billion people! In your market area hundreds of thousands of people area are making recommendations about businesses and sharing them with their networks of family and friends . . . are they able to find your business on Social Media? Almost all businesses need a FaceBook business page that can be used to share important information with existing and potential customers.

We help clients to integrate FaceBook and other social media networks into their website and online stores. Social media is a powerful FREE tool that you can be using to grow your business online.

7. SEO buzzz-it-icons-search

Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) is important and that’s why we ensure your website is SEO optimised to help you rank well with Google search and other popular search engines.

WordPress is SEO optimised, the WordPress “themes” we use are also optimised. We use state of the art SEO plugins to ensure your website complies with current SEO specifications, plus we assist you with your website content and “keywords” development to ensure your website and content can be easily found by your current and potential customers.

WARNING: If you are a small to medium sized business you do not need to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars a month paying “SEO Experts” to add “secret SEO stuff” to your website . . . it’s a waste of your money. Google actually warns that most SEO “experts and companies” are “snake oil salesman”. We save our clients thousands of dollars on unnecessary SEO fees and payments.
