There
is no point in having a lovely web site if nobody ever sees
it. Once your web site has been loaded onto the Internet you
need to attract people to the site. The correct design &
choice of text for the website is essential if the search
engines are to find your site.We will advise on these issues
and optimise your web site for the major search engines that
people use when researching on the Internet. Well known examples
of search engines are : Google, MSN, Cuil and Yahoo. After
a few weeks people who put suitable words into the search
engines should be lead to your site. For example if you offer
accommodation in Kampala then anyone who types in the words
’accommodation Kampala’ into Google should be
led to your business and any other Kampala businesses that
offer accommodation and have web sites. Search engine listings
are free and your ranking depends on the relevance, size &
popularity of you site to the search. Google also offer paid
for advertising space, but this does not affect your ranking
and is no guarentee of a prominent position. However if your
business will rely heavily on Internet promotion as a way
of advertising then it may be worth paying for this service.
We can advise you and manage paid for website promotion on
your behalf.
If you
are in a highly competitive market such as tourism or hospitality
then unless you have a large site, preferably featuring several
hotels or tour companies it may also pay you to subscribe
to one or more of the more populat online directories. Thie
may also help your site to achieve a high search engine listing,
In addition
to the search engine optimisation carried by us on your behalf
you can do a great deal yourself to promote your web site.
As soon as possible after the site has been loaded onto the
Internet you should make sure that the site address is included
in all your advertising, publicity material, business cards
etc. When talking to customers draw their attention to it
, make sure that all your staff are aware that the web site
exists and have seen it. Make sure that when potential customers
telephone for information they are also told that they can
find information about your company on the web site. |
