Your Web Presence is the foundation to all other marketing efforts. It’s the footprint that you take up in the online world.
The quality of that presence affects your brand, and the likeness that your prospective customers convert into paying customers.
Every business has a presence on the web, even if they’ve never lifted a finger to shape or control it.Google will buy your company information from government business directories, customers will create blank Facebook location pages to leave reviews on - there are 100s of ways for your company to show up online. Managing your web presence means you take control and improve both your customers’ experiences and your bottom line.
Is your website a data-driven sales platform, or just a brochure posted on the web? If your website could be printed out and left on the table in your lobby, you’re doing it wrong. Every companies’ website should be a dynamic sales platform that is judged by its performance - you can measure it!
People are looking for you online. Are they finding you or your competitors first? And if they do find you, what are they finding? What is the quality of that experience for a new customer?
Customers decide how they want to reach out to you, and they expect you to be available and responsive. Cover off their expectations, and open up new lines of communications and new sources of revenue.
If your website is only converting visitors to paying customers at half of what it could be, that means you’re wasting half of every marketing dollar you spend. You can spend more and more money to make up for a poor conversion rate, but half of every extra penny is still going down the drain.
Your website will have clear call-to-action buttons always close at hand, making it easy for users to convert when they’re ready.
And nothing where it’s not. People don’t want to think about how to use your website; they just want to find what they are looking for. For them, it needs to be that simple.

It’s clear now that mobile is no longer the future of web design, mobile is the default. The majority of people looking at your website will be looking at it on their phone or tablet. Every step of the design process must consider mobile, tablet, and desktop layouts concurrently.
Some agencies dabble in SEO, but for us Search Engine Optimization is a key pillar in any company’s web presence strategy. Every website we build follows Google’s best practices for on-site SEO. We can include keyword research as an early step in the web design process to make sure your website has the content it needs to rank on Google in your business category.
Your site will follow current UX standards, so it is intuitive and easy for users to navigate. We also take extra care to make sure that every graphic on your website is properly formatted and optimized for web, keeping load times down.
When business owners learn to read their website analytics, one of the first things they notice is that the majority of their website traffic is sent from Google, for free. Without that traffic, they’d be facing some very hard times.
Conversly, they also see that increasing that free traffic from Google by even a modest amount would be very lucrative for them. The art and science of attracting more free traffic from Google is called Search Engine Optimization (SEO).
The foundational step to any SEO effort is having your website built in accordance with Google’s recommendations, and general SEO best practices. This alone won’t get you to the front page of Google, but screwing it up, will keep you off of it!
If you want to go further, it’s time to start creating content targeted to specific keywords that research and data analysis shows to be the most likely to get you to rank higher, and bring in quality traffic with a commercial interest in what you have to offer.
Do you want more people walking in your front doors? For brick and mortar companies, there is an entire sub-field of SEO called ‘Local SEO’ which focuses on getting customers physically into your space.
You want to show up first in local searches, with 5 stars reviews greeting your prospective customers. We’ll support you in generating reviews, keeping your GMB up to date and optimized, and all of the other tasks you need completed to give you the best chance of showing up first in local searches.
