Search Engine and Google Optimisation
Having a website is one thing, but it’s of little use if no one knows it exists.
These days, most people turn to internet search engines such as Google (link to google.co.uk) to search for a particular subject or service rather than turn to the yellow pages. So its important to ensure your website has the best chance of being found online.
This is called Search Engine Optimisation.
There are many companies who may guarantee you top results in Google. In our experience, these can frequently be a bad choice as they often use ways of tricking the search engines, which potentially could lead to your website being banned all together.
In theory, the basics of good search engine optimisation are reasonably straight forward. A well designed website with plenty of relevant content, appropriate use of the website META tags and a number of good incoming links all contribute towards seeing your website appear when someone searches for it.
We offer a dedicated Search Optimisation Service for all new websites we design.
As standard, we’ll ensure all new websites are of course built to high standards and all META tags include any keywords you have provided us with.
Our SEO Service works in addition to this, and particularly for locally based websites, ensures that your website has the best chance of being found.

Case Study
Our client, a guitar tutor in Bournemouth wanted a new website and to be found in Google if potential customers searched for ‘Guitar Lessons in Bournemouth’
Click the link to see how well his website (www.guitarlessonsbournemouth.co.uk) performs for this search term.
This example shows the potential of both the Google Local results (the results shown higher up the page next to the map) and the standard Google search results further down.
Remember, apart from the original SEO costs – unlike paying for Google Adwords or ‘Sponsored’ results, there are NO regular ongoing costs ‘per click’ etc.
