Search Engine Optimization = Lead Generation
Improve Your Website's Search Engine Ranking
Is your website lost in the woods of Google's search results? Finding the balance of form versus function is never more true than in Internet marketing. Attractive graphic design (form) is necessary to capture your visitors' interest, but images (especially all Flash websites) are largely unseen by the search engines.
Search engine optimization (function) deals largely with the unseen elements of your website's architecture and content presentation that the search engines do index. SEO leads potential clients and visitors to your website, content and graphic design keep them there.
Typically businesses have three ways for potential customers to find their website:
- Traditional print advertising lists the web address,
- Pay-per-click advertising on a search engine drives traffic, and
- High organic ranking on a search engine's keyword search results.
The first type is what we call a "business card" website. Due to lack of SEO, people find it by your business card, since it is largely invisible on any web search. Short-term, a solution can be PPC advertising. PPC can get expensive depending on your marketing campaign and the competitiveness of your market. However, it may have a place in your marketing strategy in the first months of your launch.
Long run, we find companies get a much better ROI with a business web design that uses SEO optimization to organically rank high in the search engine results. Getting visibility on keyword search results has the added benefit of having the search engines do your work of prescreening, promoting and referring web visitors to your website. No wonder the payback from successful SEO is so big! Get Google working for you!
The art and science of search engine optimization is finding and using those keywords, key phrases and "longtail" keywords that bring potential sales leads specifically searching for what you have to offer to your website. Once they find your website, then the graphic design and web content present your sales pitch.
Why have a website your customers can't find? A website with the best-looking graphics in the world and the most compelling copy will remain invisible to most of the Internet users if it isn't SEO optimized.
Refining SEO Keywords Improves Your Sales Lead Quality
Lightwave Communications goes over the keywords and key phrases marketing strategy with you and then implements SEO copywriting in your web site for those keywords. Just as in any marketing campaign, testing is the key to finding the best words and combination of keywords. After your site has been up for awhile, we can check to see which words are generating the best sales leads and tailor the web content for better keyword appeal. In our experience, little changes - even between the use of the singular or plural - can make a dramatic difference in the quality of your leads.
CSS Web Design For Maximum SEO
Getting your business website ranked high in the search engine results is the organic (and least expensive in the long run) way to bring sales leads and clients. Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) web design standards are better suited to search engine optimization. Lightwave Communications creates your web design utilizing a CSS web design architecture that is both optimized for search engines as well as easily edited and maintained to reflect changes in your business or the market.
If your website is not currently using CSS and you need greater web visibility, contact us for a CSS conversion of your current site.
Only Ethical SEO Techniques Used
Lightwave Communications only uses the ethical "white hat" SEO techniques. "Black hat" techniques, used by spam sites, are optimization techniques that may fool the search engines for a while and get your website high ranking, but after a time will cause your website to disappear from the rankings all together. No business that is building value in its online marketing presence should risk the long-term damage of unethical SEO
