Excited to show SARPnet what I can do

I was speaking with Paul van der Merwe from SARPnet yesterday, and he asked for some help with his search engine optimization.

While SARPnet has some competitors, the competition in the search engine results pages are not too tough. The website is already ranking on page 2 for keywords such as sheriff software, sheriff office management software, etc. Paul’s words were: What should I do get my site ranking page 1.

So today marks the start of our official campaign for Paul’s site (even though I have helped him with some Google Webmaster Tools settings before). Make sure to check back in after a couple of weeks to see if I made any progress. I don’t want to sound arrogant, but I am pretty confident that we can get Paul’s site into the top 5 with just a small push.

Joomla Website Design

I am excited to announce that I can now also offer Joomla Website Design to my customers. This is in conjunction with Adorn Media, a leading Joomla Website Designer.

Jana Pilkington-Williams from Adorn is a whizz when it comes to Joomla and designing websites for it.

I have always been a staunch supporter of designing websites in WordPress, but I am very happy that I can now also help those businesses with an established Joomla website.

If you need help designing a website in Joomla, drop me an email here.

The Importance of Local Business Directories in SEO

I recently read an article on Search Engine Journal about local directories. This reminded me of how important these local directories can be for a successful SEO campaign.

If you run a local business that provides products\services mostly to a small geographic area you need to be listed in every single local directory you can find. These listings provide advertising for your business, and also provides some of the geographic signals that search engines like to see for local businesses.

So, not only does your listing have the potential to bring in some customers, it will also help to increase your website’s exposure in the search engines.

This article sparked a few ideas in my mind, and lead to the creation of PretoriaEastPages.co.za, a Pretoria East Business Directory. The idea is to help businesses in my area to get more business from the search engines.

What makes Pretoria East Pages different?

Well, it is run by a SEO. So if you list your business, you can rest assured that I am doing my best to ensure that you get some business from the directory.

As an introductory offer any business can list for free.

I suggest you check it!
