So you’ve launched your website, but it’s a month later;
you can’t find it on the first page of Google and hardly anybody is visiting the site?
Your new website looks amazing, but here are some questions to ask:
- How many visitors are you getting?
- How many of them are calling or emailing you?
- Why are they leaving the site?
There’s nothing more disheartening than investing time and money in your brand new website, and no one notices it’s there.
Why does this happen?
- Google takes time to find your site and display it on the search results page.
- There are thousands of competing businesses working hard to appear higher up the search page.
- Your site’s content doesn’t match the user’s search terms or intent on Google.
Just because you open a restaurant, doesn’t mean anyone will walk in the door.
Unless you market your new website there’s a chance nobody even knows it’s there.
Any new website requires a well thought out and planned online strategy.
Also, don’t forget traditional forms of advertising such as print, and definitely don’t forget word of mouth.
Digital marketing can be absolutely vital to the success of your new website, and your business.

Have you received one of these reports?
These SEO reports come packed full of bewildering stats, and help digital marketing companies appear more knowledgeable.
But here’s the catch…
A lot of information in these reports is meaningless.
Information without knowledge is dangerous!
Without the knowledge to analyse the data, and devise an SEO strategy, information is irrelevant
Dishonest, or amateur digital marketers can sign you up to a subscription to fix the issues from these reports.
Because SEO has such long return times it may be months before you realise something is amiss.
This approach only skims the surface:
It’s likely they haven’t considered any Long-Term SEO Strategies.
