Common question from client & how to answer it.

Juliette had a client that asked the following question: “I do have a question. After the website is live, still, how do potential clients know that my website exists? How do they know what my name is, where to find me, my domain name etc……I’m sure everyone wants to know this as well.”

The best way to answer this is by saying (from Becky):

“I would FIRST state that, as part of our website work, we optimize your site so that google gets signals as to what your site is about (spiritual counseling, etc.) However, there are a lot of factors that Google considers when ranking sites, so often, more pages are needed and more time is needed in order for you to rank for your desired terms.

Google places is a vehicle that can also help your ability to rank and get traffic. We can talk with you about this work, as well.

Regarding showing up for searches for your name, your website should be the biggest signal online for your name, and google should serve up your site if your name is searched, however, we cannot control this. It may need to be looked at later, if your site does not come up when your name is searched as this sometimes does happen.

Adwords is the fastest way to get traffic online. Once a campaign is created, you can be on page 1 on day 1. You need to pay use to create your campaign, and then pay google click charges.

Finally, at the end, you can include suggestions to also do traditional marketing.”
