Search Engine Optimization & Internet Marketing Strategy
Your website cannot yield results (that is, bring in business) if no one can find it. Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and web marketing refers to getting results from your website by driving high-quality traffic to it. It's not rocket science but it takes a concerted, thoughtful effort.
Cunning Web Solutions examines your business to plan a web marketing strategy that is as unique to your business as your website design. It helps to know a few tips, terms and tricks.
What every business owner should know
Know Your Audience
Web marketing, like any marketing strategy, is most effective when the target market is clearly defined. This includes knowing your target demographic (age, interests, technical level, etc). Knowing your market will facilitate an easier and more effective strategy selection process.
Decide on a monthly budget
Any web marketing strategy will likely include free (or inexpensive) strategies as well as those that will incur a fee. A highly effective strategy will incorporate both natural search engine optimization and Pay-per-click (PPC) campaigns such as what Google and Yahoo! offer. Reserve a portion of your regular marketing budget for your web marketing strategy. We can help you decide what might be a reasonable budget for reaching your business goals.

Consider your resources
Most small business owners do not have the staff or resources to monitor the results of their web marketing strategy. If you think that is true in your case, then be sure to get a package that will allow your web marketing expert to review the progress of the campaign with you at least once a quarter. We offer web marketing packages for your small business that include quarterly reviews to evaluate the effectiveness of your marketing strategy.
Measure your results
The sucess of your web marketing strategy must be measurable. It is not enough to say that you received 10,000 visitors to your site. You must know how many unique visitors, what pages they viewed, and what actions they took. Thus, you must define how you will determine when your visitors have done what you wanted them to do (such as buying a product, joining your mailing list, or requesting information). We can help!
