Website Marketing

Market Your Website to Gain Higher Ranking

Once your website has been designed and optimized, it needs to be marketed. There are a couple of different ways to achieve the desired outcome. Ideally, more than one method will be employed at the same time.

SEM stands for search engine marketing. It is used to promote websites and obtain a higher ranking in search results. SEM goes hand-in-hand with SMO which is social media optimization. To put it simply, for every marketing activity, a business needs to consider its impact on search engine ranking. From blog comments on relevant blogs to content submissions to articles and blog posts submitted to 3rd party sites, all are carried out with an eye towards increasing your website’s visibility.

SMB Creative Group will construct and manage a complete SEM and SMO strategy for your company that can include targeted keywords, monthly ranking for each term, press releases, social bookmarking and more.

PPC is pay per click advertising. It is what it sounds like. Every time someone surfs the web and clicks on your ad, you are charged. While SEM and SMO are a more organic way to bring traffic to your website, PPC will allow potential clients to find you quickly through your paid advertising.

Businesses need to work closely with a company, such as SMB Creative Group, to ensure that the correct keywords and copy are used to route your target audience to your site. Incorrect keywords can bring visitors, but they will not be buyers. SMB Creative Group will work with you to make certain that the correct type of clients end up on your website with ongoing link building, article submission, ranking reports as well as pay per click services.
