SEO

SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization. It refers to the practice of optimizing websites and webpages to improve their visibility and ranking on search engine results pages (SERPs). The goal of SEO is to increase organic (non-paid) traffic to a website by making it more relevant and valuable to search engines and users.

Content is king,” and the more keyword-rich your content is, the better. However, it needs to make sense contextually, as search engine crawlers are now sophisticated enough to fully comprehend text. Your site can be penalized for “keyword stuffing,” or using a keyword too frequently within your content.

Several factors influence SEO rankings. While search engines like Google use complex algorithms to determine rankings.

It’s important to note that search engine algorithms are constantly evolving, and these factors may change over time. Staying updated with industry best practices and keeping your website’s SEO strategies aligned with the latest guidelines is crucial for maintaining and improving your rankings.

There is no magic bullet for this – if someone tells you there is, run fast and run far! Keyword density, local listing accuracy, website speed, social media, metadata, and backlinks are just some of the items that need to be optimized for your website to have the chance to appear in the number one spot. And this is only for one search term – multiple keywords take even more effort.
Check competitor websites, use Google’s Keyword Planner, ask customers what they would search to find you, and look at your business as a consumer. Consider what you would type in the search bar to find yourself!

There are many “tools” that can be considered for use in SEO. It can be something as simple as a WordPress plugin or a dashboard that allows you to look at keyword data and website speed.

It could also be your Google My Business page or social media profiles. SEO is constantly changing, so staying on top of the latest tools and trends is important for increasing and retaining your rankings.

SEO is immensely important for companies to make sure that current and potential customers can find them on the web. Companies with a good web presence will show in searches under multiple search terms, and they in turn are able to collect more leads and convert more business.

Wrong! SEO is not only important during the building of your website, but in the months and years to follow. Think of it as eating right and exercising – once you get to where you want to be, you can’t just stop. You’ve got to maintain. SEO works the same way!

Your ads must be engaging and informative to make the customer want to learn more. What makes customers more likely to visit your website is when your business shows up in the ads AND organically. This shows that your website is reputable enough to have good presence on its own, and your ad is speaking to exactly what that customer needs at that moment.

eCommerce

Reach out to us and schedule a free consultation today!  We’ve got a bevy of options we can help you with for setting up an eCommerce website, ranging from WooCommerce, or even Shopify.

Have your own products you’ve created and want to sell? Then you’re all set to go! Have an idea for products or services? Let us know and we’ll help!

There are some good off-the-shelf options for DIY websites such as Wix, Squarespace, or Weebly, and for limited budget startups, those work just fine. Creative Web Designs can help in whatever capacity is needed, from recommending a platform, to helping with product entry, to actually having our talented designers and developers put an eCommerce site together for you!

Creative Web Designs works with multiple platforms for eCommerce websites such as WooCommerce (through WordPress) and Shopify. We also have the ability to build completely custom shopping cart and eCommerce solutions, tailored to your exact specifications!
Much like the answer to the question “how does a house cost” or “how much does a car cost”, the answer to this is, “it depends.” The number of products, the amount of other content on the site, and the level of design all factor into the total cost for a website. See our pricing page for more information, or request a consultation to get a custom quote.

Social Media

In most cases, social media won’t directly lead to sales. However, it is imperative for your SEO and giving your brand a voice. Social media like Facebook and LinkedIn helps your business develop relationships with your customers. In the long-term, this leads to brand loyalty and sales.

Social media can be used to promote products and services, engage with customers, and even to comment on current events (though it’s best to stay away from hot button political topics.) Learn more about why social media is crucial for businesses on our social media pages.

Social media can be used to promote products and services, engage with customers, and even to comment on current events (though it’s best to stay away from hot button political topics.)

Used properly, social media does a great job of providing a voice for a business. It helps draw people in and show customers exactly what you’re about. Again, it may not directly result in bottom line sales, but it’s still crucial for your business to have an active online presence that brings recognition to your brand.
Promoting products and services, and on occasion specials, on platforms like Facebook is a great way to draw customers in, depending on your niche. Where it is easy for a shop with actual products to show what they have on social, it is much more difficult for an attorney or a dentist, due to the natures of everyone’s respective businesses.

Using Facebook and Instagram to promote products, announcing sales and happenings inside your shop, and engaging with your customer base are all great ways to market using social media!

A social media strategy allows a company to create a voice and tone that it wants to use to address its customers. It also lays out a roadmap for anyone who will be managing the accounts. Whether that is done in house or by an agency such as Creative Web Designs, knowing how to say what you want to say is important!
