Local Internet Marketing
Make sure your website is seen !
Having a website is a bit like having a nice glossy brochure. But
if you
don't send the brochure to your customers, they will never see it.
In the
same way, once you have your website built you need to promote and
advertise
it - otherwise nobody will know it's there.
If you have a business that sells nationally, you will need to
rely on
Google, existing contacts and maybe on some newpaper or magazine
advertising.
Local businesses can now promote their website to local people
using
the popular and long standing local town websites :-
www.poyntonweb.co.uk
www.bramhallweb.co.uk
www.hazelgroveweb.co.uk
www.cheadlehulmeweb.co.uk
These local town websites supply quality local news
articles,
announcements and events news as well as information on clubs,
societies, churches, schools, sports, healthcare, children’s
groups and other community organisations.
We encourage local organisations to promote their activities
for
free on this website which in turn automatically promotes the
website to
their members.
You can promote your business and website online to
local residents
in the Poynton, Bramhall, Hazel Grove and Cheadle Hulme areas with
links to your website.
News and promotional articles are
tweeted to our Twitter accounts with over 2,500 local followers. Business listings with links, email and map buttons are
available.
Google Adwords:
When you search on Google you usually see some results at the top of the
page and some at the bottom of the page which have a small 'Ad'
symbol in a green sqaure to the left of the website address. This
denotes that these are paid for advertisements. These
advertisements look like normal search results but they are paid
for - the website owner will pay Google everytime a link is
clicked.
To be certain of gaining traffic to your website from people who
are genuinely interested in your products or services you will
need to do the Google Adwords (otherwise known as 'pay-per-click'.
For this you would need a Google Adwords account, a monthly budget
and a set of correct keywords and advertisements. Call or email me
if you'd like to know more about this.
