For the past month we’ve been focusing on web design and how a beautiful, easy to use website is an important part of achieving your goals online. No matter how great your website is, though, it can only be effective if people visit it. So it is important to let people know about your website and make sure your website is where people will find it. This means you need to market your website.
You can market your website in many ways:
- Tell people about it in person
- Put your web address on printed materials
- Post updates about your organization on social networking sites
- Make sure you show up in the top search results for relevant searches
- Have members and customers tell people about your organization through reviews
There are many other ways you can market your website as we’ll discuss over this coming month, but no matter how you do it, it’s crucial that you do it!
So, we’re devoting an entire month to helping you evaluate and improve the marketing of your website.
1) Blogging About Marketing Topics
Our mission is to help you achieve your mission online. That’s regardless of whether you use any of our services or not. So, we’ll be blogging about various strategies, especially search engine optimization (SEO), that you can use to market your website as well as pit falls and money traps to avoid. We’ll help you put together a marketing plan that will help to bring more visitors to your website, regardless of your budget (or lack there of), so that you can be more effective in your business or ministry.
2) Search Marketing Services
If you’re at the point where you know you need to be marketing your website in order to accomplish your mission online, but are not sure how to do it or just don’t have the time, we would love to help you with that. We have already created services tailored to the specific needs of churches, schools, and local businesses and ministries in addition to having SEO services for organizations with national and international audiences.
Remember, our mission is not just to market websites but to help you achieve your God-given mission online. So we listen to understand who you are and what your mission is. Then we can help you choose the marketing service that would best fit your needs or we can create the custom marketing service you need to accomplish your goals. See descriptions of the marketing services we offer as well as a list of some of the organizations we serve and then complete the consultation request form so we can set up a time to talk.
3) Everything But the Kitchen Sink
Lastly, one of the ways we help you achieve your mission online is by being available to help you with whatever you need – everything but the kitchen sink. If you need help with Adwords or Social media, we can help with that. If you need someone to fix up your current site or create a custom site, we can help with that. If you need custom programming or database integration, we can help with that. Domain registration, web hosting – you name it, we can do it all for you so that you have just one company to call anytime you want to do anything with your site.
It’s never too late to start marketing your website, but the earlier you start the further ahead you will be. The key is to get started and then keep moving forward. We’ll be covering a lot in the next month. So, keep in touch over the next month and beyond. We’ve got something that will help you take the next step towards achieving your mission online.
