Online Advertising -
Our Process

Our online advertising philosophy is simple — if you're not properly marketing your website, you don't need a website. In this game, it is not a field of dreams in which "if you build it, they will come."

Therefore, we have designed a simple, step-by-step process with an extremely reasonable fee structure to ensure you get the most "bang for your online advertising buck." This allows you to build up your online advertising efforts at your own pace. Call us for specific pricing and let's get started...

Step 1. Website Design & Development

• Graphical User Interface - GUI Design
• Interaction Design (Website architecture/navigational organization)
• Programming implementation of HTML, CSS and Java script as required
• Copy editing (Complete copy writing services are available)
• Comprehensive Search Engine Optimization (SEO) set-up, including metadata & site map submission

Now you have a website — great start. But having a website without properly marketing it is like having a billboard in the middle of the woods — you've got one, but nobody can see it.

Step 2. Search Engine Marketing (Natural, or Organic search)

This is an ongoing process, not a "lock-it and leave it," proposition. Those businesses you see showing up in the organic or natural page-one search results page don't get there by accident.

Looking for instant gratification? It's true, organic listings are free, but the natural rankings are determined largely upon a search engines underlying algorithms. An advertiser cannot pay their way to the top with organic listing results. It's a process that requires dedicated expertise and time to elevate to page-one visibility (Anywhere from 90 to 120 days).
