However, there are only ten first page positions available in the natural listings for each search phrase and obtaining one of these top spots can take a lot of time and effort. Despite the obvious benefit of high rankings for relevant key phrases, quite a few businesses we come across still question whether going for the top search engine rankings is worth it.

Don’t let fear of terminology harm your business

If you’re new to the world of online marketing, terms such as SEO and Google Analytics can seem like little more than gobbledygook. Even if your business has had a presence on the web for some time, many people, particularly smaller businesses, don’t fully understand the terms or the services offered by the likes of Google, and thus their websites aren’t working as well as they should for their business.

In a recent article for the Sydney Herald, Valerie Khoo explored how relatively few people knew about the power of Google to help boost sales and raise the bottom line. Many were scared off by the terminology, or reluctant to admit they didn’t fully understand it. But it’s vital that business owners don’t shy away from the useful tools available to help their online marketing strategy.

At LexisClick, we specialise in SEO and know just how important it is to your business. That’s why we work with you to fully understand your business’s needs and objectives. We also have experts in website analytics, including the increasingly ubiquitous Google Analytics tool, and can help you to get the best from its features.

Stephen Bavister, Director of LexisClick, said: “We’re aware that, like anyone working in the industry, it’s easy to get caught up in the jargon – which can be confusing for people unfamiliar with the terminology. That’s why we’re happy to explain things in layman’s terms and don’t expect that you have to understand all the jargon to get the most out of online marketing. We’re conscious that it’s easy to blind people with science; we take care not to do that.”

SEO fit for a Queen

Anyone who’s serious about online marketing needs to know a thing or two about Search Engine Optimisation. Even, it emerges, the Queen. In a recent report for The Daily Telegraph, Julian Sambles, the Telegraph’s Head of Audience, conducted a review of how well the Queen’s new website would rank on search engines.

You may well think that for an institution as important as the Monarchy, they would be pretty spot on with their SEO. However, as Julian discovered, this was far from the truth. He found there were several problems with the site’s SEO (including, quite shockingly, not including the phrase “Queen Elizabeth” in the homepage’s keywords). He goes on to list the six key SEO problems with www.royal.gov.uk, including problems with the use of title tags and url structure.

This article got me thinking that it should be important reminder to any business with an online presence that they need to make sure their website is working in the best possible way for them. It’s imperative to understand the application of SEO correctly, as it is one of the most cost-effective elements of marketing strategy for many companies.
