Organic Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
You hear a lot about SEO of a website these days and what does it really mean? Organic SEO is the process of optimizing your website, both internally and externally, to improve its prominence and traffic on the search engines. This is very important as it can make or break your business presence on the internet and ultimately your revenue stream and profit.
Google Ads or Sponsored Ads
Google Ads are paid ads on Google that can help supplement your organic SEO. These ads show up as Sponsored Results at top of bottom of the first page on Google for the search terms. They can be a good way to get your website listed on the first page of Google search results as you build your organic search engine rankings. They are expensive and may be beyond the budgets of some small businesses. We can help set up and manage these Google ads for our clients.
Generative Engine Optimization (GEO)
GEO is the process of optimizing your business brand's content, structure, and internet digital footprint to appear in AI-generated answers on Google searches. Typically these are Artificial Intelligence (AI) platforms like Google's AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini. Unlike traditional SEO, GEO focuses on how AI systems source, understand, and deliver information on search results.

Important Website SEO Ranking Factors

Not enough content or low quality content can harm your website's credibility for your visitors and the search engines. Having high quality website content attracts and retains visitors and can help your organic search engine results and rankings.
Internal Links: Internal links within a website are just as important as external links are. When we design a website we make sure there are sufficient and appropriate internal links in the website.
On-Page Optimization: Are your website pages optimized for search engines? Things like page title, page descriptions, meta tags, keyword usage, proper use of headings and content play a crucial role in helping search engines understand what your website is all about. Poor on-page optimization can be negatively affecting your website from ranking higher in search results.
Mobile Optimization: With more and more people browsing the web on mobile devices and Google indexing first the mobile website, having a mobile-friendly website is no longer and option—it's essential. If your website isn't optimized for mobile users, your website is missing out on a significant amount of organic traffic.
Page Speed: In today's fast-paced digital world, nobody likes waiting around for a website to load. If your website takes too long to load, visitors are likely look elsewhere. Optimizing your website's speed can make a difference in attracting and retaining organic traffic. Google considers a first page load speed of 2 seconds or under good.
Business Listings: Where possible and appropriate you should have your business listing with a website link. This includes; Google business listing, Yelp, TripAdvisor, Thumbtack, listings specifically for your type business, etc. This will help increase your search engine rankings and make it easier for your customers to find your business.
Social Presence: Social media is very important for your business and website. Facebook, Instagram, X, Linked In,, TikTok, etc. If any of these are relevant for your business you need to make sure they are updated regularly. We do not manage our clients social media accounts
Reviews: Reviews are an important part of any business. We all get user reviews on various platforms. Some are great, some are good and some are bad. It is important for business owners to respond to these reviews both good and bad. When you respond to reviews, do it in a kind and responsible manner. If you feel that a bad review is unwarranted or false then you should contact the provider to see if you can get the review removed.

If your webmaster or web designer is not doing all this for your website then you need to ask them why. Most website designers will tell you they will do this for you for an extra charge, if they even do it.

Restaurant and Bar Websites
If your current website has a menu and it is not in text format, but an image file or pdf file, then you may be missing out on a substantial opportunity for search engines. Search engines cannot read image files or pdf files. Further when menu images or pdf files are viewed on a mobile device they sometimes have to be downloaded or moved around on your mobile device making it difficult to view the menu items.
So why do most website companies do this? It is cheaper for them to do this rather than convert it to regular text and put it on the website. It is also easier for them to update. If they don't do it this way, then they would have to charge you more for your website.
We do not do this for menus unless,; requested by the customer or daily menu changes make it not feasible. Our websites with menus have them online in text format.
