If you’re from the MetroWest Boston area you know how congested Natick, Framingham & Wellesley are and you also know that the northeast had a very ‘early adoptive’ mindset when it came to the internet and web marketing in particular. Here is a little about them, from them. I chose the “Green” article because I think it’s admirable and I like the pic

“Green is no longer a boutique statement, green is no longer something you do to be good and hope that it pays off in ten years.  Green is the way you grow, build, design, manufacture, work and live…Green is going from boutique to better, from a choice to a necessity, from a fad to a strategy to win, from an insoluble problem to a great opportunity.”*

Green is not just a marketing term at Ellis Insurance; we take our responsibility to the environment seriously.  From our paperless work environment to our energy efficient office equipment to the eco-conscious materials we used in the construction of our office, we prove it everyday.”

Curb Appeal is a longstanding Columbia Missouri company but they are currently very hard to find via search queries. In our opinion this is un-acceptable. Especially considering the front page of search is littered with the various annoying business ‘resource’ sites having no real connection to CoMo besides the words on their website.

Here is a little about Curb Appeal: “Curb Appeal of Columbia Inc. has been serving the needs of Columbia for over 11 years. We have an outstanding record of customer satisfaction and all our home restoration specialists are trained, certified, insured and licensed to take care of your needs.”

They offer Landscaping, Deck Cleaning & Staining, Pressure Washing, Housewashing, Concrete Services and quite a bit more. The goal is to put them on page one of the natural returns for their various keywords, help out with the maps visibility and generally give their website more cohesion.

Here’s a little about them, from them:  ”We were formed with one goal in mind: to reduce the number of DWI arrests in Springfield and Greene County! Many people either don’t go out when they can’t designate a driver, or end up calling it a night earlier than they would really like to because they are responsible, and don’t want the embarrassment or financial burden of a DWI…

Substitute Drivers is going to change that. We want you to be able to go out anytime you like, and as often as you like! You will never have to worry about having a safe, sober ride home IN YOUR OWN CAR again!”

We’re happy to help Substitute drivers on it’s way to that goal.

We optimized the code of the website, built a small social network including Twitter and Facebook and also advertise on sites like craigslist, Hotfrog and Manta.

Our method seems to work very well since they are currently the first return, under the ads, for the keyword phrase “Lake of the Ozarks home remodeling”.  They’re also on page one of phrases like, Lake of the Ozarks deck construction, Lake of the Ozarks home builder and home remodeling Mid-Missouri… among many others.

Here is a little from her web… “English bulldogs are such an excellent breed. They adapt to just about any lifestyle as long as it puts them at the center of attention. They’re a good choice for families with children. Though, couples or singles should consider the bully as well since they are great in an apartment setting.

They aren’t the type to go and chase a ball n the middle of 90 degree weather. They’d rather be lounging in their wading pool, sipping bottled ice water, listening to some tunes in the shade. Read more

Things like choosing a web host, social networks and other business apps are things you may want to decide with your designer. Questions you might want to ask are; Is there free software that will work for me? What are the best social applications for my business? And, what kind of hosting plan does my site need?

Do you already have social network locations on Twitter and Facebook, image share accounts on Flickr or Twitpic, or other online advertisement profiles on websites like Manta, Hotfrog or LinkedIn? Putting a link to each location along with the log-in information in a .txt file falls under organizing resources.

As for the website itself, decide how many top level pages you need on your web and write some content for each page. Contact, About us, Home, Services, Products, Resume, Directions… would all be possible examples of the top level pages of a brick and mortar business. The more text you can give your designer to work with, the better.

If you already have a logo and other digital art put it all in 1 file. Even if the logos need to be re-done, any direction will save your designer time. Designing new art from scratch can be time consuming so anything you already have will help. Images of your location, products or community outreach(youth sport support, etc) can be useful in design as well.

Do you need an online store? Do you need a contact form, video gallery or image gallery? Your designer will need image files, contact info, links to videos… All these things may add to the total cost. There are free and subscription e-commerce platforms but normally the free versions do have limitations. As for images and videos, WordPress has a ton of great plug-ins.
