Website Development is Not Just Another Pretty Site


During the website development process keep search engine ranking in mind. It is important to incorporate appropriate triggers on your site, i.e. calls to action, lead capturing tools, online forms, professionally written content and customer engagement features such as blogs and social media integration.

Be sure to establish social media goals and articulate how they will align with your overall brand, marketing and public relations goals. Will this include content development such as blog posts, case studies, white papers, webinars, etc.? You need to decide what will drive prospects to your sales funnel. If you choose to go this route you will need to pay attention to SEO keywords to improve your search engine rankings. Your website will be raising brand awareness to increase brand recognition and online influence. Thus creating loyal website visitors and boosting community awareness and engagement.

Lastly, creating metrics to measure the goals by tracking URL shares, clicks and conversions that move through the various social media sites (e.g. Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and YouTube) to your website is very important. It will drive brand awareness and increase prospects.

So while you are developing your new website remember search engine ranking. It is vital to the success of your company and brand.
