Hiring a Website Designer
So how do you find a company to build a website geared towards advertising? Here is a great place to start, think local.
National companies often organize themselves in a very profitable way. Economies of scale are at hand. How do you create economies of scale? Mass production. How do you mass produce websites? Templates. You create 100 websites (example). Then you create a sales force to start calling businesses. A sales representative creates interest and makes a sale. The new client picks one of the websites that they like out of the 100 examples. The company then inputs the client’s information into the template and voila, the website is done. What happens when 10 other business in your market also buy the same template website from the same company? Now you have 10 very similar looking and similar coded websites in your market. If you have a number of similarly coded websites on the internet, than YOUR chances of good rankings on the search engines go down down down. Not all national companies are this way, but a large number of them are.
One last point to make, large national companies are often too large to react to market trends. By the time they organize a new initiative and launch it, the market is on to something new. Often times, these large companies are promoting internet tactics of yesteryear.
So why is a local company so much better? First, consider this. Don’t confuse local company for local freelancer. While a freelancer may be good at developing a website, or even marketing a website, they typically are not good at both. Think about it, if a person is diligent enough to sit in front of a computer and learn coding, html, and site design, usually their brain is wired differently than someone who understands good marketing and advertising tactics. It’s not unheard of, but rare. Freelancers usually have too much on their plate, with the design, the marketing, their billing, and everything else needed to run their small operation.
So a local web marketing company is the best option? Well, yes, usually it is! A local company will (should) come to see you. This is important so they can get an idea of your real image, who you are, what you’re about, what does your business look like, etc. They also typically employ a number of individuals that specialize in their respective fields, all working together to deliver the best product, at the most economical costs.

Should I be using Social Media to market my business?
Depending on what type of program you are considering, social media can have tremendous influence for prospective new clients. And while a social media program may not be what is right for your business, it is definitely worth looking at. Many web development companies in Milwaukee, and abroad aren’t taking full advantage of these four practices and are therefore, selling you short.
As you are searching for a company to work with developing your internet marketing strategy, pay consideration to what they are saying about each of the four applications. After all, once you decide to partner with an Internet marketing company to handle your advertising, you want to make sure they are looking at all the angles for your business.
While not every business needs to implement all four of these practices to have an effective marketing program, (the only shoe repair man in Wausau Wisconsin probably doesn’t need to optimize his website any further than registering with the search engines, and making sure his website appears on the map feature) every business should consider all four. Furthermore, every Internet marketing company should have a good grasp on all four applications of Internet marketing, and understand the how each can work to your benefit.
Applying the right marketing mix is crucial to ensuring that your marketing dollars are stretched as far as they can be. Some of these practices are not as profitable to Internet marketing companies as others. However, at the end of the day, its not what makes your Internet marketing company money, it is what they put into play for you that makes you money.
Be wary of taking advice from any web developer who has negative things to say about social media or any other practical Internet marketing strategy, they may be more interested in their profits than yours.

Optimize your website with a Blog Part 2
Fresh and new content updated often is a great way to ensure that Google keeps returning to your blog again and again. Once the search algorithms are trained to realize that the content on your blog changes often and is completely original, you are way more likely to see your website higher up in page rankings. Why?, because your blog is linked to your website. And by linking the two together, because your blog is well optimized, your website becomes well optimized (i.e. higher in the search results). A blog is a great way to increase site recognition and page rankings for your website. (Insert ah ha moment here)
So by creating a blog, and posting it to the internet, you have achieved one very important crucial way to optimize your website better. You are developing brand new fresh original content and posting it to the search engines. You are giving your customers much needed advice and information that they are seeking when they use Google. Your blog will appear high in the search results and because of this, will get clicked on. People will read your blog and obtain valuable information. The blog will link to your website as well as highlight your business as the expert in the field. Your blog is well optimized, your website is well optimized, and you start to see more traffic and sales as a result.
The most important thing of all is to take action. Brew City Marketing provides blogging services and can help to optimize your website better on all the search engines.

Optimize your Website with a Blog

Maybe you have heard of a blog before but you are not entirely sure what it is or how it works. I hope this blog will help educate you on why blogging is a great way to help optimize your website.
Everyone knows that search engines drive traffic to your website. 80% of new Internet users will find a website by using a search engine such as Google.
When you do a search on Google, Yahoo, Bing, or any other search engine, it will provide you with a large number of results for your search query. How do those search engines determine which websites to show first, based on what you just typed in? Some of the criteria (secret recipe for ranking websites) that they use:
•The number of keywords in your site that match what was typed in the search bar
•The number of times your website has been visited in the past, after being served up by the search engine (How relevant is that website to the end user. The more times one website has been clicked on over another makes that website more relevant)
•The number of links from other websites that link to your website
•And last but not least, FRESH WEBSITE CONTENT
One way to optimize your website better is to give a valuable resource away for free, like a newsletter, mini-educational course, or just industry information that will educate the customer about the value of your product or service. You can achieve all this by creating a blog!

What is SEO? Part 2
What is a well optimized website?
A well optimized website has meta tags for all the keywords that relate to your business. The website has been registered with all the major search engines and has proper domain names for each relevant page title.

This is why it is an art and a science…there are rules to follow but creativity also plays a big part.
