We combine web design, web development processes that we have developed since the beginning of the Internet with search engine optimization tactics and Pay Per Click (PPC) marketing. This powerful and synergistic combination ensures that our clients all achieve their online sales goals.What Makes Effective Web Design, Web Development?Effective web design and development is the design and construction of a website that elevates your online brand and status, and meets or greatly assists in your business sales goals. It must do all of these. There are many disciplines involved, and if you don't incorporate each and every one of them into your website then you will most certainly fail - you will spend a lot of money for the privilege of looking at it yourself. These are the features you must incorporate into your website for success Your website must:
What is Search Engine Optimization?Search Engine Optimization, or SEO, is the process of placing a website at the top of organic search engine results pages (SERP). Here is a picture of Organic and paid (Pay Per Click - PPC) listings.  When a searcher clicks on one of the either top or right-side paid PPC links the owner of the PPC campaign is charged varying amounts for the click. Organic listings in the SERP are labeled above. When a searcher clicks on one of the links in this section the website owner is charged nothing. Such is the power of getting top search engine rankings, and the value of SEO - free, relevant traffic. If you successfully run SEO campaigns and are ranked at the top of the SERP then everything is rosy - until the search engine changes their ranking algorithm and your site gets dropped out of sight. Many companies have tanked for this very reason. If you only run PPC ads (marked as Sponsored Links above) then your margins can suffer, especially if you are not running them optimally. Small mistakes can cost you dearly, and if you find yourself being charged $3.00, $5.00 or $10.00 and up per click then take this as a warning - Google has your number. Some keyword clicks do cost this much, but most of the time click fees like this are an indication of an un-optimized PPC campaign. Your campaign is not optimized and Google is charging you for not knowing how to run the campaign. A dual effort using both PPC and SEO is recommended by 21st to minimize risks to business owners. The ideal scenario is that we'll use a PPC campaign to determine what keywords, ad content and landing page content converts the best. A conversion can be a sale, form completion, phone call or email. Once we have this optimally performing content after 2 or 3 months of the PPC campaign then we roll the golden keywords and content back into the website and start the rest of the online SEO marketing campaign focusing on the keywords that have proven to bring in the most sales and conversions. All non-profitable PPC keywords are dropped and those that have performed as profitable are kept. Keeping both PPC and SEO in the mix reduces your business risk! A Business Case for SEORole of Search in Business Lead GenerationThere is no denying that search engine marketing has become an important lead generation tool for many companies. And it's no wonder:
Organic versus Paid Search ResultsSearch engines deliver prospect traffic two ways: via Pay-Per-Click (PPC) paid advertising, and through organic or natural search (free clicks). In addition to the cost difference, each method delivers a measurably different volume and quality of prospect.
Importance of Organic Search RankingResearch by MarketingSherpa on business buyers who are researching a purchase suggests that buyers do take time to look for relevant sites among organic search results. Higher rankings, therefore, do improve a company's chance of getting a buyer to click-through. 1. Laura A. Granka, Thorsten Joachims, Geri Gay.
