Search Engine Placement

Every online search that occurs results in the display of website pages and content that the search engine or directory has determined to be the “most important” according to the specific search terms that the user has entered. The importance of having your services and content “ranked” at the top of the search engine rankings determines how easy it is for customers to find your company online when they are searching for the services and products that you offer.

It is important that your clients and prospects find you first first when they are searching online for information about the services and products that you provide. If your current and prospective customers cannot find you in an instant from their desktop, laptop or mobile phone you are not going to get the visibility, leads and new business that your company needs.

Having your company listed at the top of the major search engine rankings is important for every business online. This is more than simply creating a single listing for your company website. Multiple listings with a wide variety of media to insure that your clients and prospects find you online no matter how they search and what resources they prefer to use. This includes mobile media, video, social media, articles, blogs and local directories.

Social media properties provide a unique opportunity for your company and services in several respects, one of which is link building. These sites can be categorized in many ways but are typically grouped together as bookmarking, video sharing, image sharing, professional networking, blogging, knowledge sharing, news, etc. There are numerous properties online which allow users to socialize amongst themselves; You Tube, My Space, Facebook, Yahoo! Answers, and Digg are a few good examples.

As users interact with each other there is a link trail that is left behind for the engines to follow. Knowing this and leveraging it for our clients is where the opportunity exists.

Links from social media properties are relatively easy to obtain, fairly easy to manage, highly customizable, they are followed by the search engines, however – do keep in mind that the time/effort to setup and continually maintain can be high. This means that these sites provide a great opportunity for building out the type of links that engines desire. The links can be numerous and relevant, which is another way of saying they provide both quantity and quality.

It is important also to note that this is also about more than a one-time effort. You can’t just establish your business online and forget about it- you need to constantly keep your information current and relevant. If you are not offering new content on a regular basis- you will be knocked out of the search engine rankings by some other person who is.
