what is SEO?

Website Search Engine Optimisation is all about optimising your website in ways that will result in your website achieving top positions in a Search Engine Results Page (SERP) when someone searches for something relevant to your business. For example, if you own a Backpacker in Queenstown, you would might want your website to come up if someone searched for “Queenstown backpackers”, or “group accommodation in Queenstown”, or “cheap places to stay in Queenstown”.

Take a minute and write down a few really important words that describe your business, and the services or products you offer. If you have sell clothing, you might write down words like “clothing, clothes, sales, adults, childrens, dresses, free shipping” etc. Now, group them into a few key phrases. An online clothing store might have “online clothing store, childrens clothing, clothing sale, free shipping nationwide”. Next go to www.google.co.nz and do some searches with those keyphrases – can you find your website? If you can’t find your website on the first page of results, you are missing out.

All sound too confusing? Don’t worry, we’re experts in SEO and digital marketing so let us do the analysis and hard work so you can focus on running your business.

what is search engine marketing?

Search Engine Marketing (SEM) is online advertisements to increase the visibility of your website in search results. The most common form of this is Google AdWords – a cost-per-click form of advertising.

Well optimised and managed Google AdWord campaigns can place your business in the first position of results for key search terms providing maximum visibility and netting you huge increases in business.

The best thing about a well managed SEM campaign is that your ads are shown to only those people who are directly interested in your product. Unlike TV or Radio advertising which is shown to a much wider group of people, who may or may not be interested in your product.

Another great thing about SEM is that you can set your own budget, whether that is $10 per day or $100. Your ads will show until your maximum budget is reached.

what are keyword phrases?

Keyword phrases are combinations of words that people commonly use to look for a product or business on the Web.

For example, if your business specialises in flowers, common search terms are: “flower gift” and “flower gift delivery”. Search terms are normally combined with an area, and sometimes a country, for example: “flower gift auckland” or “flower gift delivery christchurch new zealand”.

Have a look and see where your website is. Go to www.google.co.nz and type in some key terms. If your website comes up in the first few sites, then you’ve got a very good result. If you are not on the first page of results, then most people will not be finding you.

Keep in mind that search engines like Google will change the results you see to what they think are most relevant to you. Google Chrome has an Incognito option that you can use to see unbiased results search results.
