Search Engine Optimization Consultant for Northwest Washington

If you're a business in the North I5 corridor, you know the weather can change you plans in a hurry. The same is true in Search Engine Optimization (SEO). Things change all the time and your online business has to be adapting to those changes or get left in the cold.

Great Weather for Christmas '08

In Lynden, WA it is not uncommon for us to get a couple feet of snow while just down the road in Bellingham, WA they just get an inch. The dividing line seems to be somewhere between Ferndale,WA and Custer,WA. Although they are just a couple miles apart. In the competition for Higher Search Engine Placement, the same kind of thing occurs. Two websites can only have slight differences, a slight separation and yet vastly different placement in the Search Results. As a Search Engine Optimizer, we dig deeper into those differences and find a way to get your business the advantage in those coveted Top Search Placement Positions.

Christmas Morning '08

A Snow bound F150

Not far from us in Blaine,WA they had rain while Lynden was getting dumped on. That's because Blaine is right on the Pacific. They get protection from the real devastating Pacific weather because they are sheltered in Puget Sound, behind Vancouver Island. Sometimes the online business world seems like that too. If your competition beats you for those Top Search Positions time after time it can seem like they have some kind of protection. The really good news is that good Search Engine Optimization can identify how they manage to beat you and tear down that advantage. Before you decide there is no way to beat your competition, give a SEO pro a call and let us show you how it can be done.

It is not every year that Christmas and the snow meet here in the Northwest corner of Washington State. In 2008 we awoke to 20 degrees and another foot of fresh fallen snow. But online business doesn't wait for the weather. In the world of Website Promotion, spring doesn't come unless you make it happen. Don't resign your business to the idea that Pay Per Click Advertising is the only way you will ever get customers. According to our research most business that uses PPC as the only means of promotion spends 12 times more than they would on solid Search Engine Optimization, and gets less then ten percent return on their money spent.

When the economy gets tight do people stop shopping? No they still shop, they just don't buy. That means if you are advertising with Pay Per Click, it still costs you the same, you just don't get the sales conversions to offset the expense. It used to just kill me to hear a customer say they had visited my website several times and they were just about ready to make a purchase. I knew that every time they came to my website it was costing me money and I hadn't made a dime from that prospect. Ouch. Recognize the scenario? Get good Search Engine Optimization and your business will live on page one every day of the year. Those customers can window shop all they want. They can come back over and over and it won't run you out of business.

The fence in the foreground is about four feet tall and only about eighteen inches is still showing. If the snow plow comes by again it will probably be cover completely.
