Internet Marketing
DEFINE:
Internet Marketing is the term given to the marketing of products and services over the Internet.
Internet Marketing includes a number of disciplines:
- Search Engine Marketing (SEM)
- Search Engine Optimisation (SEO)
- Pay per click advertising (PPC) e.g. Google Adwords
- Email Newsletter
- Banner Advertising
- Web 2.0 - Initiatives such as Blogs, Social Networking, Hosted Services.
Search Engine Optimisation
DEFINE:
Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) is the process of improving the volume or quality of visitors to a web site from search engines via organic (unpaid) search results. This is typically achieved by making the website appear earlier in the search results.
We approach Search Engine Optimisation in two ways. First, the Content Management System we use has a "Search Engine Friendly" architecture - this means that our clients' websites are inherently "Search Engine Friendly" even before we begin the optimisation process. Second we use specialised tools and methods to "optimise" our clients' website content and meta data in order to improve their rank in search engines.
Who's it for?
- Search Engine Optimisation can be completed as a stand-alone project for your current website or as part of a wider website development project.
What does Search Engine Optimisation involve?
- We research and create a list of keywords and phrases that are likely to give the greatest gains in the quality and quantity of traffic to your website.
- We update your website's content and meta data to use the keywords identified in the first step.
- We create a benchmark report of your current search engine rankings and monitor improvements over time.
- Search Engine Optimisation can often yield great improvements in traffic to your website in as little as a few weeks. Talk to us about increasing the quality and quantity of traffic to your website today.
Website Reports & Analytics
DEFINE:
Website Analytics (also known as Website Metrics) is the collection and analysis of data relating to the performance of a website.
It is common practice to measure marketing initiatives to see which are most effective - and it should be no different with your website. With every website we create we include one of the best website analytics packages on the market - Google Analytics. Google Analytics provides comprehensive reports relating to the quantity and quality of your website traffic. With Google Analytics you can measure things such as:
- Bounce Rate - The number of people that land on your website but leave straight away without viewing any other pages.
- Length of Visit - How many minutes visitors are spending on average on your website.
- Most Popular Content - Which pages are receiving the most visitors.
- Visitor Location - What country or city are your visitors from.
- Campaign Results - Track the clicks and actions from your online and offline campaigns.
Website Audit
If you are not sure where to start, perhaps a website audit is the first step to take. In a website audit we review your website considering the following:
- Is the website design well laid out and easy to navigate?
- Does the website connect with the target audience(s)?
- Can visitors easily find the information they are looking for?
- Does website contribute towards the business objectives?
- Do the website metrics reveal any useful trends or problems?
- Has the website been optimised for search engines?
- Does the website rank well in search engines?
- Are there any technical issues with the website?
