SEO is the acronym for Search Engine Optimization. You will hear and read more nonsense on the subject of search engine optimization than almost anything else on the web. The truth is make your content relevant and keep it fresh. To get high search engine rankings ensure you create quality content, relevant linkage and researched, targeted keywords.

If you do that, the engines will find you. Getting to the top of the rankings, however, needs a little more skill.
SEO increases targeted traffic to the site - not any old traffic - targeted traffic - customers who want to buy.
Effective search engine promotion and optimization is mandatory for businesses that want to drive targeted traffic to their web site.
Simply adding hundreds of meta tagged keywords doesn't work. Why not? Because most search engines ignore keywords in the meta tags.

We research the precise words and phrases which will have greatest impact on specific engines or directories and rewrite (optimize) your pages accordingly. Does it work?

How much does it cost?

We find that a site with 50 pages or more needs 2 to 6 weeks preparation. Find SEO priceshere.

Strategic review and implementation is a minimum of 5 man days but usually closer to 10. On a large site implementation could take a 3 person team 3 months. 

Like all advertising, once is not enough - the best results are achieved from a continuous campaign.

After the initial implementation the average annual SEO budget for a small commercial site would be about £600 to £800 per month whilst a larger commercial site could run anywhere from £2,000 to £4,000 per month. Our competitors charge more.

Email campaigns

Cost effective email campaigns and newsletter marketing management are absolute priority for generating sales leads and staying in touch with your stakeholders. But be aware of the content you are sending. An easy way to benchmark your own newsletter is to analyse why you read the emails and newsletters you're subscribed to; it's usually because the information is pertinent and topical to your requirement. Seems simple; but in the same way that you delete boring corporate puffery remember your readers will delete yours too.

However, run your email campaign, ezine or newsletter well and discover even more benefits.

• Address capture for pro-active marketing.
• Build corporate/brand awareness.
• Deliver added value to the customer (new offers, news etc)
• Stimulate repeat visits.
• Drive the sale.
• Develop e-CRM.

Getting a good ROI from your email campaign, newsletter or ezine is more than writing truly useful copy in scintillating style; you must address cost savings in administration too. Ensure your newsletter is fully automated: for example subscriptions should be double opt-in; an email is automatically sent to the new subscriber asking them to confirm their request. Additionally you will need to automate unsubscribes - users will complain to your ISP if you don't do this promptly and you may get blacklisted after to many complaints.
Check that your newsletter/ email marketing management tool features timed distribution, searchable databases, and full featured content management.
