Share your website with the world:
- Once your website is finished, you must market it. Just because it is on the internet doesn’t mean it will work for you. If you don’t promote your website, you will see very minimal results.
- We will register your website with the Google, Bing, and Yahoo! search engines. It can take some time before these search engines index your site. We will make sure your website is optimized for these search engines.
- However, you cannot simply rely on the search engines for all your marketing. Tell your friends, co-workers, family, and whomever about your new site. Use social media such as Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest to promote your site.
- E-mail everyone in your address book to tell them the news. Do a mailer or two. Also, scan the internet for web directories that pertain to your website. There is a web directory for just about everything… sometimes many. Find them and get your website listed and linked. The more, the better.
- Anywhere you have your business name, list your website address underneath it. On your business sign, your stationery, your marketing materials, business cards… everywhere. When they see your name, they should also see your website address.
Keep in mind your website is an investment and it takes time, to see a good return. Don’t be disappointed if you have your site up for a month and you get no response. It takes a lot of time and patience, just like starting your own business.
