There is no point in having a beautiful, expensive website if it can’t be found.

It is feasible to spend thousands on a quality site just to see it languishing in obscurity.

This section is intended to provide a brief overview of how you can benefit from improved Search Engine Management (SEM). Please call us if you would like to discuss your specific requirement further.

Search Engine Management (SEO)

SEO ensures your site ranks as highly as possible on the natural listings are of the search engine page. The is done against specific combinations of words that constitute the most likely search terms used by a consumer looking for products or services in your sector.

Search engines like Google and Yahoo send out programs called ’spiders’ that read the code of each site and rank it against predefined criteria, taking into account the construction of the site and the relevancy of its content, storing the results in an index. When a user conducts a search Google compares that search term against the index, displaying the results in accordance with the score.

The key is getting that score as high as possible. The key benefits of good SEO other than the high listings are that natural search results are based on relevance and so tend be of better quality, and because they are based on content and code, the results have longevity and don’t stop just because the contract does.

Pay Per Click (PPC)

Sometimes referred to as the “marketing managers profit centre”, PPC is paid for search listings that appear based on the users search. Advertisers bid for specific search words or phrases and pay on a cost per click (CPC). It is a very cost effective way of driving relevant traffic to your site, especially if the site has a transactional function and a direct ROI calculation can be made.
