Content is King

You have to fulfill a need for information. If you do not, your SEO campaign is sure to run into problems. I started off offering SEO as a sidebar to web design and web copy writing. Now I offer it alone, and the first thing I advocate when I get an SEO job is that the whole site be designed around the content. Huge graphics, animations, even product listings are not desirable, as I seek to replace them with content that answers queries and searches.

Hiring a development consultant that is knowledgeable in the art of search engine optimization to guide your site's creation can help to ensure that you don't fall prey to these types of problems. Fixing structural issues often requires an entire makeover of your site resulting in thousands and thousands of wasted dollars.

If search engine marketing is important to the success of your site, you must design it to be as "search engine friendly" as possible from the start. Web designers and developers often do not realize that text contained within graphics, especially text inside Flash files, cannot be indexed by spiders. You cannot rely entire on Meta tags to attain top ranking positions, Content Is King!

We will work directly with your developer, to ensure that your site isn't doomed to failure from the start. We will recommend proper technology usage, coding convention, and alternatives to areas that we consider to be problematic all while explaining the reasoning behind our recommendations as well as advantages/disadvantages.
