Flash and SEO: Like Oil and Water

Tue, 10 Mar 2009 04:21:55 GMT

We often deal with clients that are planning to “revamp” their sites with Flash, with SEO having already generated tremendous gains in their sales.

Google Profiles and Reviews Helps Promote Business Online

Mon, 02 Feb 2009 20:03:18 GMT

If you haven't familarized yourself with Google Profiles and/or Google Reviews through their local business section, you should! It is an easy and inexpensive way to promote your business a little more online.

Google Profiles

If you have a Google account then you already have a Google profile! Make sure it is up-to-date with your lastest business information. You can upload links to your website, blog, LinkedIn account, and Facebook. You can customize it with your company logo or a picture of yourself.

Once you have a Google account and profile you can write reviews for other businesses that you network with. You can also invite clients and business partners to write reviews about your own business. Next time someone Googles your business, those reviews will show up in the results. People can start reading testimonials before they even get to your website. Talk about getting off on the right foot!

Google Local Business

It is important that you are registered with Google Local Business. Google tries to index as many business locations as possible in Google Maps. However, you need to make sure that all the information is correct and complete. Don't leave it up to Google to get it right.
