As a website design company in Dorset we know that the inception of Google+ has the social media world buzzing and all for good reason. The internet search giant’s foray into the social media sphere is a complex, powerful and versatile social media tool that takes the best of the web and consolidates it into a single service.

While Google+ has yet to be released in full and although the details regarding business and fan pages are still unclear, the service holds tremendous value for businesses, especially given the service’s heavy integration with other Google apps. Targeting an audience will be easier than ever thanks to Google Circles, and an SEO company in Dorset we are abundantly aware of the coming changes.

We consistently achieves top-notch optimisation for both search and social media. Through keyword research, compelling content and a strong social media presence, we are able to produce top results for websites of all kinds. Google+ is set to become yet another major force in corporate social media and as an SEO company in Dorset we will be at the forefront of the migration towards it.

Over the last year Facebook has blown into a multi-million dollar advertising giant and now has over 500 million users.

As a website design company in Dorset we are constantly looking into ways of taking advantage of Facebook on behalf of our clients.

One way we do this is to create a Facebook fan page. Here’s an example of a great Facebook fan page from Pringles.

As you can see from their website, their Facebook fan page is very much part of their website design. This means all their website visitors can instantly access their Facebook page and engage with their company/brand, keep up to date with developments, get special offers and mix with like minded people. That’s quite something for a free service from Facebook!

The most important purpose of a website is not providing your customer with information.

We’ve seen this report on Search Engine Optimisation (SEO Services) crop up a few times now, so thought we’d share – it’s fascinating!

One of the findings of the report entitled ‘The State of UK Business Websites 2010′ was that 47% of all business websites have none or very basic levels of SEO, which is worryingly high considering Google is now used by almost everyone to run their everyday lives and find suppliers and products. Think about it – when was the last time you used the Yellow Pages?

Check out the SEO report now by following this link.

If you feel you fall into this category or have any concerns or questions, please call us today on 0333 1234 404 and we’ll throw you some ideas. That’s why we’re here!

You may have noticed that the Google search box (where you type in your search terms e.g. ‘hotels London’) has increased in length recently.

The reason for this is more and more people are typing in long questions and not just short bog standard search terms (e.g. ‘hotels London’). Ultimately people (e.g. potential clients) are looking for the answers to their questions from a reputable source (e.g. you!).

As a business you have the opportunity to take advantage of this by answering their questions quite easily (e.g. by having a page or blog post on your website containing that question and the answer). Once you’ve helped that person, the chances are they’ll contact you directly as you’ve proved you know your stuff and are a trustworthy business.

Accounting is mind boggling to most people and as such there are hundreds of questions that people type in to Google hoping someone will be able to help. Here’s a few examples:

How can I avoid tax?
How do I fill in my tax return?
Do I need to be VAT registered?
Do I need to pay tax on dividends?

The list goes on!

Why not start a blog or add more pages to your website posing related questions and then answering them? This way when someone types in a question to Google your website will rank highly, as Google will see you have related content on your website.

If you can’t think of any questions, go to the Google homepage now and put yourself in the shoes of your customers and start typing in questions. You’ll see many other businesses (e.g. your competitors) taking advantage of this.

By doing this you will quite easily get high in Google as questions are not classed as ‘popular keywords’ (e.g. like ‘hotels London’ is) and therefore you’ll get more visitors and more enquiries, which is what everyone wants isn’t it?

Best of luck!

If you have any questions please get in touch today, we’ll be happy to help.

Also why not visit this page and we’ll hand pick 3 great keywords for you for free. No catch – again we’ll just be happy to help.

I’d like to say we made this video (but we’d be lying!), as it’s a really simple and clear snapshot of the complicated world of Google and Search Engine Optimisation. Brought to you by Google themselves!
