Search Engine Optimisation (SEO)


There is no point spending money on a website for it to only fall on deaf ears. Without visitors to your site, your message won't be heard. Your products won't sell, your services won't be learnt about and the contact details will go unnoticed.

Your website is a tool in selling your business but first it needs to be seen in order to work. Successful marketing of any business involves a holistic approach. There are many facets which need to be addressed to build traffic to your website, and one of the biggest is search engine optimisation (SEO).

This is when people search for a topic on a search engine (like google, yahoo or bing) and are then provided with options relating to that topic. Being listed early is key to getting traffic to your website. However, most people don't understand the work that goes into getting this high ranking. Search engines use complex, ever-changing algorithms to give websites a page rank. These page rankings are what determines where your website sits in search engines.

Because of the ever-changing nature of these algorithms, and the ever-changing nature of the market, effective search engine optimisation requires an on-going approach to be of any true benefit.


Google AdWords Management(Pay per Click)

A properly managed AdWords campaign is a cost effective and immediate way to generate high quality traffic for your website. You only pay for visitors when they click on one of your ads, and can rest assured knowing your campaign is run by a Certified Partner of Google. 


Google Maps Optimisation(Google Places)

Google search results include maps and geographical locations for many keyword searches. If you offer a product or service to a particular location then Google maps and location search optimisation is essential.


Conversion Rate Optimisation (CRO)

Getting lots of website traffic is often not enough. Conversion Rate Optimisation (CRO) is about increasing the percentage of visitors to your website who turn into customers. This maximises marketing spend as conversion rates are improved over time.
