Search Engine Services

Search engines & directories are the primary way in which people find web sites. If your site isn't highly ranked you will be losing sales or supporters.

To achieve good, targeted traffic your site needs to be search engine friendly with appropriate keyword phrases and regular submission & monitoring. We provide two Search Engine Service options: Basic and Advanced.

Basic Option:
As a matter of course your site's design fees include basic Search Engine Optimisation where we write your site's code to include the main features that search engine 'robots' look for when indexing your site. We will submit your site to 3 major free search engines and directories including Google and the Open Directory.

While this service is adequate for small sites we recommend our advanced option for larger sites.

Advanced Services:
Most Web users utilise search engines and directories to find what they are looking for, if you want to attract targeted traffic to your site you will need to rank in the top 30. To achieve a good placement your site will need to be fully optimized. It is not uncommon for many sites to be poorly optimized or not optimized at all.
