Market Your Website
Having your website look good, function easily, and be full of information will make people want to stay on your site and come back for more. However, having a great looking site is only half the battle. You need people to find your website first. A perfect website that is not promoted is as effective as a flyer in the middle of a forest. You need to market your website so it can market your business. In addition to off-line promotions one of the best ways to promote a website is through organic search engine listings and paid search engine listings. To be listed high in a search engine for a particular keyword phrase your web page must be optimized for that keyword phrase.
At Sarno Photography & Graphic Design™ I optimize every page before I submit them to search engines. It typically takes 6-8 weeks for a website to be listed in many search engines and up to 6 months to achieve top 10 key word positions. If you can achieve high link popularity the above can be reduced to a few weeks or days. SP&GD does not make false promises or guaranties that you will be listed in the top ten on all your key words. I do guarantee you will be listed in the top ten over time if you follow proper SEO, and in the top 30 within 6-8 weeks, in a few key words. If top ten listing is needed right away I can discuss some strategies such as the option of pay per clicks on major search engines.
Sarno Photography & Graphic Design™ will continue to advertise your website on every marketing project I create for you. Now you need to actively promote your website. All my web design clients receive a list of things they can do to make their website more successful. A few of these tactics are free, and some are paid advertising. If you like you can also commission me to perform some or all of the procedures for you, and implement customized advanced Search Engine Optimization.
