How to get to #1 on Google

1) Have a compelling, professional, dynamic and easy to use website, filled with relevant content, a Sitemap.xml file submitted regularly, relevant directory links and tons of high value links with keywords from other websites.

2) Create a compelling ad, submit it to Google and bid higher than your competitors (using relevant keywords) using Google AdWords. 

A Website google loves

Google loves a dynamic website, with relevant content and frequent updates.  A Joomla CMS website accomplishes this since it's much more than a website, it's a web program that can update automatically.  Plus it's editable so it means you can update the site yourself instead of requiring a web designer to make changes (Note: We can update it as well for a small monthly charge). 

Joomla's features include

• Mobile web design!  40% of customers are using phones and tablets to access websites.  How your site looks on these devices is increasingly important! 
• BLOGS
• Slide shows, pop up windows
• Embedded videos from YouTube
• A password protected part of the site (you can offer a login to your valuable customers and provide additional info or services)
• Intelligent updates (display sales for Christmas only in December then stop Dec 26th)
• Beautiful graphics/icons
• Conduct polls to learn what your customers like
• Web forms and questionnaires, contact forms
• Language translation (habla Espanol?)
• Social Media integration
• SEO features, and more! 

All of these features are a fraction of the cost of using a non-Joomla based website. 
That's why we offer these to our customers since it gives the most value for your web design dollars.

GOOGLE ADWORDS

Google AdWords allows you to pay to advertise on Google based on keywords.  You'll show up in the top 3 or on the right column based on your bid for keywords relevant to your business.  It can be expensive but there are ways you can keep costs down and control your budget to get the most for your advertising dollars.

Google doesn't care how compelling your site is but you do because it's what drives your potential customers to contact you for more information.  If a potential customer calls you, you're likely to convert that call into a new customer.  This is why you need a compelling 'landing page'.  It can be the home page or another page with a contact form, specials or sale information, newsletter sign up, etc.  

WHY CHEAP WEBSITES ARE TOO EXPENSIVE

A cheap website is easy to spot even to a casual users and consciously or unconsciously reveals a lot about your business. 

"If you just need to get something out there it would be better to have a one page professional looking website, than a below average site." - Shawn Armstrong

A professional website, with correct spelling and grammar, professional pics and logo will gain you higher paying customers since they can tell you pay attention to details. 

HOW SOCIAL MEDIA CAN CHANGE YOUR BUSINESS

You may have a Facebook page &/or a Linked-In account but possibly can't imagine how it can affect your business.  Social Media can drive customers to your site.  You can advertised on Linked-In, Facebook in a select market (e.g. Dallas, Fort Worth, etc.)  and if you keep it fun, it's an easy  (and inexpensive) way for customers to help spread the message about your business.  We can help you with a Social Media campaign to help you get the most from Social Media.
