All marketing activity is an investment. Unfortunately,
some activities such as TV advertising, national poster
campaigns and cinematic extravaganzas are beyond the
reach of the small business - the investment is simply
too great, irrespective of the possible benefits.
The good news is that, as the web becomes possibly
the most powerful marketing medium ever created, the
key activity for success, professional SEO, is a very
affordable solution for small businesses. This is because
SEO is a scaleable activity - you can start small and
increase your investment as your capacity to meet increased
demand improves.
But, you ask, how does a small business compete with
the big boys on the web? They've been around longer
and they can throw big money at optimisation. Isn't
it the same old story?
The answer is that while it will always be difficult
for a small business to compete for very popular key
words, you can play smart by targeting the less popular
but more targeted search terms. These will typically
be phrases comprising of three or four words which will,
by their nature, be more descriptive of what the searcher
requires and hence indicative of a prospective customer
who is ready to buy.

For SEO to be affordable and worthwhile for a small
business, you need to be prepared to invest over
an extended period and to see your traffic build steadily
rather than spectacularly.
The first important factor for Affordable Small
Business SEO is keyword popularity. You have to
realise that you won't be able to get the top position
in Google for a highly popular phrase if you're new
to the web. We can help you to identify the words and
phrases that may be less popular but which, combined,
can build your traffic.
The next important factor for Affordable Small Business
SEO is keyword competitiveness - that is to say
the number of web pages competing for the same keyword,
knowingly or unknowingly. The more pages that are competing
for the search term, the tougher it will be to get a
good position.
Finding the right keywords for Affordable Small
Business SEO involves competitor research, database
checking (there are numerous online databases that track
the search terms people use), brainstorming and checking
your own web logs.
But however good your optimisation might be, the cost
effectiveness of a project will depend on the rate at
which you can convert visitors into enquirers, subscribers
or buyers. Getting more traffic is pointless if a site
is not an efficient sales machine.
