This information and knowledge alone will give you ideas to propel you into the right direction in presenting your services and products as successfully as possible.

Jan 31, 2016 | Business Startup, On Page SEO, Search Engine Optimisation Tips
Opportunity comes to those who know how to grab it. Opportunity is never lost, it just moves onto other peoples opportunity radar to be claimed. In any market one needs to have developed a way to detect these opportunities when they arrive. Opportunities are a way to continue the momentum of business growth.
In the SEO world it is a different matter. Opportunities are created to enhance and drive website traffic.
Designers, Developers, Marketers, Managers …
Every designer, developer, marketer, manager and strategic staff of an organisation work to create opportunities that will drive the growth and expansion of their business.
Those companies with the funding are one step ahead of the game, that is when it comes to creating opportunities for their business they will create them. They go after business, they go after the market, they do everything possible to get the spot light. They will invest more in order to make more. In the great totality of their business or venture, they will explore every avenue of how their actions can yield growth.
Designers and web developers are technical in nature but when you couple that with marketing then the game changes into one where the designers and developers become not only a design/developer but also a marketers who create their own opportunities. Well, that is the process we have here in our organisation when we build websites.
The skills needed to build a website is just not enough. The design firm needs to be creative and business focused at the same time. They need to invest time into understanding not only their own design models but also the vision and direction of the company they are designing the site for.
We don’t just create websites, we build them to work for your business. Websites need the competitive edge in the market in the midst of all the other competitors. Incorporating your SEO opportunity radar into every website is key to staying focused in your market and thereby attracting potential customers.
Well, how does one create such sites that bring in business? This only works if your designers and developers are focused not only on the business but also the strategies needed to get visitors to your business site and then to convert them into customers.
Without any strategic design you’re really putting your site over in the corner away from the limelight. Without any limelight then you’re basically in the dark all on your own. Why? Because the strategies needed to drive opportunities were not built into your design and development.
No limelight, no interest, no sales and no growth. When these are met then a company is left to stagnate and deteriorate over time to go out of business. However, it is not the end in our point of view. Getting back on track is easier then you think. You see, any business that is not working is salvageable with a little bit of investment and a change in direction – that’s the way the internet works.
If you’ve been one who has not learned how to capture your opportunities that come by on your radar then you need a little bit of help in recognising those opportunities. It takes some business wisdom to notice the signs.
Startup Business Failures
Startup businesses are very common in any place on earth. Majority of them will fail in the first few years of their startup time. Some do comeback out of the failures but most give up and move on to something else.
Startups are created by people who see a vision and if hey work at that vision that business ends up growing. If on the other hand they lose the vision and lose the direction they then fall off from their original self created wave that was meant to catapult them and their business into growth.
There are many challenges in business and one way to tackle through these is staying focused in the plan and goals you have laid out before starting your business.
In every failure or challenge lies an opportunity!
Search Engine Optimisation
SEO is an opportunity creator. It is one such tool that creates a bigger radar for your business that will help you attract potential customers to your shop, to your business.
Having a solid SEO strategy in place will help your business grow and increase opportunities in the ocean full of competitors. SEO is a subject that covers vast areas in marketing. Unfortunately, it is not an overnight job one would put in place and see changes in the morning.
SEO is a long term committeemen that requires constant care. If done correctly it will sustain growth well into the future of your business. On the other hand, if it is abused in any way then the road to riches will be short lived.
