If you have a website of your own for your small business first of all congratulations. Many of you competitors do not have one yet. You have a leg up on them. For those that do have their own website they may not have it optimized for the maximum results from the search engines.
Here are a few ways you can get a leg up on them with proper search engine optimization for your small business website.
1. Duplicate Content: As a general rule keep all of the content on your website fresh and original. Don’t use someone else’s content unless you have paid for it and it is 100% yours to copyright. Read more »

Did you know that most small business websites generate very little traffic? Whether you have outsourced your web design or have it done in-house, it is important that your webmaster understands the basic structure and on-page criteria that will make the search engines happy. And when the search engines are happy, the result is increased targeted traffic.
Website Mistake #1: Not Building Trust
Probably the biggest mistake I see is the lack of trust-building content. If your website is filled with sales pressure tactics or doesn’t offer any helpful and informative content, people will simply move on to something else.

CONGRATULATIONS! If you are thinking about how to market your Smart SIte, you are already ahead of most of your competitors!
Our Smart Sites are built “Search Engine Smart.” This means that they are hand-created, hand-coded and are designed to provide you a solid foundation for success on the web. However, further marketing completely depends upon your keyterms and the competition for those keyterms.
Example: targeting the key term “coffee”), then a Smart Site might not be for you. If you are a local business serving a local market and your keyterms are local (Example: targeting the key term “Boise ID coffee shop”), then the Smart Site is for you. However, there might be some more marketing to do in order to get your site high on the search engines. Again, it completely depends upon the local competition. Read more »

To a greater extent search engines and local services are being used by people in your hometown to find what they are looking for. A deep research has shown that somewhere in neighborhood of 70% of households do some kinds of search for a local product or service on a daily basis. That’s the reason, why every local search is becoming more and more important to your advertising campaign and major search engines are rushing to become the next local search engine. But, what is a Local Search and how can it be helpful to your Business? Let’s get ahead to know more about it.
What is a Local Search?
For an example, lets assume Google, but most of the search engines have a parallel system to Google. When you search for anything using a location in your keywords you will find Google will display a map at the top with links to 10 local results, then the usual organic results will be displayed. In fact Google has made some changes to its algorithm recently so that when you search for anything Google will display local results fourth in the list. It does this by reading your IP address and detecting where you are based. The aim of this is to give people the most relevant results and helping them to find a local business. Read more »
