Web Copy Writing :: writing for the web
The web is all about words. Effective copywriting is the most overlooked, "low-tech" way of improving your site's useability and appeal. Your potential customers can be overwhelmed by the dizzying array of sites all selling the exact same product. Words give YOUR business a personal voice that will set you apart from your competitors. Words get your site found and indexed by the search engines. Words make the sale. Our copy writing services include writing text for your site as well as newsletters, autoresponders and other communications you may have with your customers.

Search Engine Optimization Services
We design every site with search engine visibility in mind. To "optimize" your site for the search engines means designing, writing and coding your page so that it will appear at the top of the search engine results listings for its particular search terms. Higher search engine ranking greatly enhances the odds that your web site will be easily found by your potential customers, resulting in increased traffic and business. We include this service with every new site we design.
If you already have a site but it is not appearing within the first few pages of any major search engine for its search terms, we can fix that! We never use any techniques frowned upon by the search engines that could get your site banned nor any techniques, such as 'doorway pages', 'redirections', and 'invisible text' that add to the growing clutter on the internet.
We have found that "pay per click" services can be beneficial in the early stages of a project. Pay per click services can send traffic to your new site while waiting for the search engines and directories to complete their indexing process -- a process that often takes months. Depending upon the aggressiveness of your marketing campaign, once your site is well established with the search engines, pay per click services (and fees) can be reduced or discontinued if desired.
Our experience has shown that well constructed web pages with clear purpose, content and navigation will rise to the top naturally-- simple, meticulous, "organic" search engine design.
Key components of a search engine optimization campaign would include:
- Keyword research - determining which terms people are actually using to search for your services or products and which ones to incorporate into your site
- Copy writing - writing, rewriting and generally massaging your text, titles, headers so they are keyword-rich and engaging to both the search engines AND your readers.
- Coding and Formatting - editing the underlying HTML of key pages so that description tags, header tags, title tags and overall layout of the page serve to enhance the various keywords for your site and are conducive for search engine spiders to read.
- Link building - researching and acquiring incoming links from other sites relevant to your service or product (commonly known as reciprocal linking)
- Submitting, Monitoring, Resubmitting - once the above elements are in place, your site will be hand submitted to the major search engines and directories, monitored over a period of time and resubmitted as necessary. Maintaining high rankings is an ongoing process.
