Can your customers find you using Google?
Many business-to-business clients of Wheel Media have asked me about search engines and how they work. The short answer is with paid or natural results. The paid results on the top and right side of Google cost you monthly, and you pay even when it's your competitor clicking on your ad. (Not fun.)
The natural results are the large, prominent text in the center of the page, and they rank websites by interpreting their code. This interpretation is complex, with dozens of factors including page structure, keyword density and inbound-links playing a role.
As a marketer I prefer natural results. In 1-3 months Wheel Media can move a website from page 37 to page 2 for a search that a customer might make to find you. There is no mystery or gimmick to our service, just specific programming your website based on our research.
How about some evidence? It's hard to argue with results.
One small business client has developed seminars for their corporate clients. Targeting human resources professionals, our client teaches an approach called integral health-- a philosophy of personal wellness shown to keep employees invested in their own health (resulting in less time-off and higher productivity.)
So far so good?
A HR professional who has read about this approach might want to find a consultant to give a seminar to their company, going to Google and searching for integral health seminars.'
People don't search for integral health seminar's in big numbers, but those who do know just what they are looking for. Wow-- what a perfect lead.
Give it a try at www.Google.com. Up in the top 5 results you'll find a company called Integral Health Options. Not a big site (and not an expensive service.)
