It’s time to make search engine optimization one of your priorities…
Think of a phrase, or two, that someone might use if they were searching the web for the type of services, or product, you offer. Now pop these words into the Google search bar, and wait and see. Does your company’s name appear? Is it within the first two, or three, lines?
At Howard Design Group, we’re experts in communicating messages visually, and we know that first impressions count. With only seconds to get someone’s attention, you need strong visuals and well-crafted messaging to make an impact. Once you have got their attention, customer experience and the quality of your product, or services, kick in.
But, how do they find you in the first place? For most companies, competition is fierce and you must take advantage of every opportunity available to you. This includes optimizing your website, so that you can be found by people using the Internet to search for your product or services.
