SEO In Omaha – do businesses see the value in being found?

Filed under: Building a web site, Content Development, Marketing Your Site, Optimization, Uncategorized — Tags: , , — admin @ 9:16 pm

I have been working with several businesses in Omaha who have hired me for my online marketing expertise, either in the PPC arena, or for SEO services. Several things amaze me when I speak to new clients – usually, they don’t understand the value of the SEO process, since oftentimes it involves changes to their website. The average business owner does not understand the on or off site processes.

On site processes to SEO:

  • Tags, Titles and code changes
  • Content, copy and key words
  • links and urls

Off site Processes for SEO:

  • Backlinks
  • Directory Listings
  • Blog comments

These processes should both have attention paid to them as they are important to the overall site optimization.

All of these, of course, take time and energy to accomplish, and I always say you should put at least half of your online budget towards some form of SEO. It takes time and skill to get your site found on the net. Please call me if I can be of assistance in your SEO program. Steve 402-210-3283

SEO – The Good, Bad and the Ugly

Filed under: Optimization, Small Business Issues — Tags: — admin @ 9:26 pm

Ever got an email or phone call from a telemarketer that “Guarantees they can make you number one in Google”? Hopefully you are internet savvy enough to recognize that this is most likely a bad business decision at best and a scam at worst. I have seen too many people who are desparate to optimize their site who fall for this.

Bad SEO companies use black hat techniques that could get your site banned from the major search engines.

Good SEO companies: All I can say is choose one who can sit down with you locally, they are not doing black hat techniques on your site and they can do the appropriate research to help you. If you choose someone local, they can sit down with you and explain their methodology.

Yes, SEO is worth paying for, involve a local professional! I am in Omaha and willing to help! Steve 402-210-3283
