Reno Website Design

*Cut to the chase and speak with a local Reno website designer with a 5 STAR verified Google ranking as well as a 5 STAR ranking on Facebook, Linkedin and on Youtube. 775-870-0488

Are you looking to have someone build a website design that helps sell your products and services online?

Hello there, real quick, I wanted to share with you who I am, so you know that you can TRUST that the information I am sharing here for free is actually useful and still relevant.

Why is this important? Glad you asked. 😉

I have been creating custom website designs for over 18 years. I have seen every fly by night web design company or solo web design entrepreneur you could imagine. Some are new budding web designers, looking to learn their craft off of your hard earned money, others are looking to make a quick buck, sell you the moon and leave town without saying good bye.

How are you to know what web design expert is qualified to help grow your business with so many choices online?

Great question. You can start by asking people that you know and trust. Compile a list from trusted friends and family. Next, hop on Google and search for ‘Best Website Design in Reno’ or ‘Top Reno Web Designers’ and see what local Reno web designers come up in the Google search.

Now, look through each listing and look for verified Google reviews. Who has the most 5 star votes? What web design company is most active on social media sites like Facebook, Linkedin and Pinterest?

Take note, if a website design or social media marketing company in Reno has a Facebook page or a blog that has not been updated in a few months, this is your warning sign. Worse, if they own social media sites do not have real followers or engagement, walk away man…just walk away.

You need a SUCCESSFUL website designer who knows how to do SEO and Social Media marketing that gets positive results, not some new millennial who has a few followers and not a flipping clue what he or she is doing, but would be more than happy to take your money.

DO YOUR RESEARCH, save your self some headaches and cold hard cash.

You know, as a successful Reno Business owner, that success comes from real hard work, not wishful ego mainiac dreams. If it is too good to be true, omg it is.

What is SEO?

SEO stands for search engine optimization. SEO helps a website rank in Google and other search engines for keywords that people are using every day to find products and services they need. Having your website SEO optimized improves the chances of this website ranking for those keywords in a search engine.

Learn more about our Internet Marketing Workshops here.

How can SEO help my small business?

Small business owners cannot ignore the opportunities that a SEO optimized website will bring to your company. Who loves free internet marketing? Seriously, if you were to start a PPC or pay per click campaign to advertise your business on Google, you can expect to pay $2.00, $10… and more per click to position your website at the top of the search results. With a solid SEO marketing plan with simple actionable steps, your small business can rank at the top of Google search results in the free clicks section!

Can I learn to do SEO on my own?

Yes, I work with small businesses every day. That is what I do! I have found that doing one on one SEO workshops on a regular basis can really help your local business achieve your SEO goals within a few months or less. Some small businesses see results within a week after implementing my simple SEO strategies.

What are the average costs with SEO?

It depends on a few things. One of which being, how competitive are the keywords your small business is looking to rank for? Some keywords area easier than others. Most small business SEO plans can expect to pay $900 and up per month to rank for a handful of top keywords in their niche. Other businesses like medical, dental, legal and restaurants can expect to pay thousands a month to compete. I can do a quick search and give you a good idea of what you can expect to pay a local SEO expert if they were to do the work for you versus you learning what is needed for your unique website, existing ranking positions and competitive market at the time.

What is SEO Conclusion

As more and more small business owners understand the benefit of SEO services, I expect the competition to increase online across the board for all niches. In the 18+ years’ experience I have in web design, SEO, internet marketing and email marketing I know one thing to be true for SEO ranking, the early bird does get the worm and the persistent small business owner who builds up their authority online over time, will always outrank their competitors.

Make sure to get on the waiting list for my once a month FREE Internet Marketing Workshops held each month at Swill Coffee & Wine.

Search Engine Marketing Services

 

Looking to buy search engine marketing services? You might want to learn some of the options available and what each really means.

I regularly keep an eye on my local and national SEO or Internet Marketing competitors. I want to see what services they sell or changes to their offerings.

Lately, I am noticing a number of larger marketing sites popping up claiming that for a small monthly fee, they will seemingly rank your website at the top of Google and  Yahoo search.

This intrigued me, because I know that no one marketing plan will fit every business, even if those businesses are in the same industry or niche.

Have these big guys figured out some ground breaking SEO strategy that magically works for everyone?

Businesses who are looking to rank their websites locally at the top of the Google search results need to focus on 3 things when researching affordable and reputable marketing packages or services.

  1. Does the marketing company guarantee results? Results that matter like your website being positioned at the top of Google search for a keyword that actually has a fare amount of search volume each month? A lot of larger SEO companies will promise to get your website into all the major search engines, what the fail to mention is that you will only rank for your company name and nothing more.
  2. Is the company actually selling you Search Engine Optimization and on going SEO services or are they buying a few PPC pay per click ads each month and charging you a great deal of money to do so? SEO is all about ranking your website naturally in the “free clicks” section of Google. PPC is very helpful, but can be a huge waste of money if not done with a specific goal in mind.
  3. Ask to see reviews from a real small business that you can call and chat with. There are lots of SEO company websites that look like they are located in the US, but are actually a front for businesses in other countries. You always want to work with someone local if you can find a qualified SEO expert. You want someone that has credibility and is around when you need them. Working with a company in another country is just asking for trouble.

Each website has its own score card with Google. There are over 200 ranking factors that Google assesses to determine if your website will outrank the competitor down the road.

Some of the SEO terms to know about are:

Time on site – how long do your website visitors stay on your website with each visit? The longer the better for your SEO.

Bounce rate – How many people that click onto your website from a Google search immediately hit the big bad BACK button the second they land on your website? The lower this number, the better.

CTR or Click Thru Rate – The higher this percentage, the better. Your CTR is calculated by how many impressions or times your website address came up in a Google search, then was clicked on.

Google has reported that they update their search engine algorithm at least 600 times a year. I think they do it to play with our heads, but that is another story. Us SEO experts have to stay up to date with these changes in order to protect our client’s rankings as well as our own.

With so many changes, I find it very hard to believe that any one SEO company can offer a one size fits all marketing package that will work for everyone.

My guess is that they blindly offer these marketing packages to hundreds of thousands of unsuspecting businesses around the world, hoping to get lucky with those businesses who have no clue that they are paying for a SEO service that is not even working for them.
