Search Engine Optimization

1. If you start with a search-engine friendly website design, search engines will find your website.

2. A search friendly website will often rise to the top in its key search terms on its own merits.

3. A poorly designed website will never rank highly regardless of how many keywords you stuff into your meta tags or how much money you pay for search optimization software or services.

Each search engine has it's own rules and if you don't follow those (frequently changing) rules, you don't make it to the top. We want every website we build to be on page one of its targeted keywords -- and the ones we actively manage do. So we analyze each project before we build. We consider the nature of the business, the target market, the content (images and text) that will go into the website, and the results expected from the site before we design.

We pay attention to the latest webmaster guidance provided by Google, Yahoo, and MSN and make sure we do everything right while we're building web pages.

When we're done building, we fiddle to make sure the content is easy on human eyes and the internal coding is clean and organized so search engine robots find it.

After a website is fully tested, we submit it to the major search engines. Once they find it, usually in a week, we tweak content as necessary to improve search ranking.

We'd love to promise you instantaneous results, but we can't. Neither can anyone else if they're telling you the truth. But most of our websites find their way to the first page of search results for the targeted keywords in a few months time with just a little fiddling every now and then. And they are often found above the fold of page one.
