Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and why it matters!
Each day, over 550 million searches are performed by people looking
for something. Unless your Web site is ranked in the
top 10 results for your critical keyword phrases,
prospects won't find you and sales opportunties are
missed. Fully 60% of your prospects
won't look past the first page of Google's results!
Can you afford NOT to be there?
So how does BANG! Web Design position your site to be found on that
top 10 list? Ideally the process starts before your
site is even designed, or at the very least before
the copy writing is done. Why? Because search
engine optimization should be performed as the site is
structured. SEO (search engine optimization) after
the site is built tends to be more expensive than designing
the site correctly the first
time. Below you will
find our game plan for search engine optimizing a typical
site.
Improved search engine rankings...
Step-by-step
- Consult with the client to learn about their business and target customers/Web visitors.
- Research keywords the clients' customers actually search for (You say "search engine
optimization", I say "search engine positioning.")
- Build Web pages for each of your primary keyword phrases used by prospective web visitors.
- Write Web copy using previously identified keyword phrases in the correct density. Insufficient keyword repetition
results in poor rankings. Overload the page with keyword repetition and the search engine penalizes
you... and once again the page doesn't rank well.
- Place keyword phrases in the correct locations on the page. For example, keyword phrases that
lead off a paragraph count more than phrases deeper in the sentence.
- Properly link your keyword phrases from page to page within your site.
- Develop an internal sitemap with links to every page in the site using keyword phrases.
- Develop an inbound link program from other relevant sites to yours. Information on your site
is only one factor in search rankings. Inbound links from authoritative sites with the right keyword phrases forming
the links (anchor text) is critical for top rankings.
- Measure the results... make changes... track the results... make changes... repeat the process. Search
engine optimization is not a one-time event. It's more art than science and always a moving target.

meta tags, having been told they are the magic bullet
to high search engine rankings. (By the way, it was
at one time, but not anymore!)
Ask yourself this... "If I had BANG! search engine optimize my website, and my traffic doubled,
tripled or even increased ten fold... what would that do for my sales? How many "extra sales"

What other techniques can be used to get Website traffic?
Pay-per-click advertising is a popular solution to quickly increase web site traffic. Essentially you're
paying a search engine (such as Google or Yahoo) to display your text ads when a searcher types in a keyword
phrase relevant to your website. If the searcher clicks on your ad, you will be charged. While the cost per
click varies greatly, the industry average right now is between 60 and 80 cents per click. Narrowly focused
keyword phrases generally cost less, and are more likely to convert into sales when they're clicked.
Think "Search Engine Optimization Company in Phoenix Arizona" as opposed to "Search Engine
Optimization."
Another popular means of driving traffic to your web site is through e-mail marketing such as
e-newsletters. This allows you to reveal more of your business personality, maintaining interaction with
those who have visited your site and, in that way, developing a relationship via the Internet. And don't
forget conventional advertising such as billboards, postcards, even radio, TV, or printed materials as a means
to drive traffic to your site. Be sure to include your web address on every communication with current and
prospective customers.
