We have been getting a lot of enquiries from small business owners from around the world and here in the UK, asking how they can get to the number one spot on Google in a very short space of time. Whilst this is quite possible, the task is made more of a challenge if the existing website design and architecture has not been built for search engine marketing.

How much money do I need to spend each month? This is a common question too. How long is a piece of string? There is no definitive answer. What is key, is deciding and agreeing what is achievable with your existing set-up, and what might be achievable by making just a few small optimisation tweaks to the website initially and then bigger more robust changes over time. Are you a local business, only really seeking out and attracting local business? Or, are you a national, or even international business seeking customers from different countries, who search in different languages and using different behaviours?

There is no simple answer to any of the first questions relating to how you get to number one on Google or even how to get to the first page of Google with great and consistent rankings.

At Marked Effect we have those initial discussions and agree on an effective and sensible way forward, that does not involve burning too much start-up cash or monthly online budgets until we have established the best online marketing strategy for your unique business case. Please get in touch with us, and we will help you to get your Internet marketing and web design marketing up to speed.

The importance of an SEO Company for Entrepreneurs and for small business marketing is on the increase as online overtakes press and other media channels share of voice to reach consumers (bookers, buyers, leads and enquiries etc).

For the uninitiated, SEO is just an abbreviation for search engine optimization. But for serious business people or the hardcore entrepreneurs, an SEO company is a bunch of people who affect their balance sheet and make their website rise in terms of popularity, business and profitability. Here are a few reasons highlighting the importance of an SEO company for businessmen and highly serious entrepreneurs who are out to make a living.

SEO is where over 80% of clicks are achieved compared to Pay Per Click (SEM-Search engine marketing)

Makes your website searchable:

The effect of a professional SEO company is such that it can make a mundane job of creating a website look extremely eloquent and attractive. In fact, it makes the business as well as the website look much more relevant to the visitors of your website. This makes the well known search engines such as Google, Yahoo etc search your website easily and make it accessible to all. Such companies have all the tricks ‘up their sleeve’ to ensure that the search algorithms are able to crawl through the meta-tags and find relevant data as fast as possible.

Locating the website:

When a new website is launched, much is done to ensure it that it is of immense use to the readers and target audiences. What about the correct promotional activities for the website? It has to be done in a way which promotes the website in a unique way in order to grab as much attention as possible. An SEO company does just that. It offers services and solutions for their clients which are tailor-made to suit their individual requirements of a website. This makes it easier for the internet users to search and find out new websites and highlight their plus points.

Generation of traffic:

The popularity of a website is due to few substantial reasons such as:

• Amount of traffic the website attracts
• Submission to the directories
• Backlinks

These are just a few methods to improve traffic to a business. Entrepreneurs understand this aspect and hence, take the help of an SEO company to help them with writing superb content for the website which is most likely to be of help to the online readers. The more the readers find the content interesting and of some use, the more will be the number of followers to the website.

People with an intention to do hardcore business and earn profitability out of it are aware of the benefits that an SEO company can offer and hence, avail their services. These are professional companies which have a host of options for their clients to choose from in order to facilitate the popularity of their website. A good company offering SEO based services will guarantee that the outcomes are effective and generate worthwhile results.
