THE BASICS ELEMENTS OF A GOOD WEBSITE

Here are the basic foundational elements of a website that will work for you, not against you.

A GOOD WEBSITE ENGAGES ITS VISITORS.

A smart website will allow your customers to text or phone you from any webpage and start a 2-way conversation that you can continue offline. If you’re not available your website visitor can schedule a callback. If they send a text, you can respond at your earliest convenience rather than submit to the tyranny of a ringing phone. We can give you either or both during our custom SmartCalls setup. Prices start at only $47/month. GO HERE

A SMART WEBSITE HAS CITATIONS ONLINE

Be recognized online for who and where you are and what you do. The fastest way to establish your business and website online is to be listed in various relevant directories and social media. You can publish your name, address, phone, website, and business description.

When the search engines see your organization mentioned on the web, they will begin to cite these listings in search results. More importantly, they will notice that other websites (the directories and social media) acknowledge and verify your existence, authority, and relevance. READ MORE…
