Your website is designed and mobile ready on all devices
So what exactly is a mobile website? Is it something that you absolutely need? The short answer is…. you bet it is.
50% of users are using mobile devices today. Google released a report for the first quarter of 2018 that shows mobile traffic is up over 150%. That means that more people are surfing online for mobile content and websites than ever before. They are using phones, iPads and Android Devices and are searching for businesses just like yours.
Here’s a major secret: if your website is not mobile and not responsive (responds to the device being held), Google will list a competitor’s website in first position in the results before your website. What’s more, customers spend more using mobile devices than desktops and get a lower bounce rate (people leaving your website) than you would with a desktop website.
All of our websites, when they are launched, are mobile.
WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Weebly, Shopify or HTML
We design, Google optimize and develop with them all
Website design, development and optimization happens on many different design platforms. Although these particular website applications are the most popular, they all follow the same concept of best design practices of optimal customer engagement, we want to keep customers flowing into your business.
Google optimization is required for all websites build on these website builders, it’s not automatic. This is where we come in! We focus on giving you a professionally designed website using any of these website builders (although we have our preferences). We also believe that you optimize the website for Google during the building process and not after. We take this approach because this ensures that Google is taken into account for every title, paragraph, page name and image placed on your pages. Total optimization.

I optimize your site for Google DURING the building of the website
We build websites that get found online. It is best that you integrate search engine optimization during the building of the website, not just after the website is done. We make sure that as we design and create the website, your search engine optimization is built-in.
The moment we turn your website on, you are ready for Google to crawl. We give your website a direct connection to Google Analytics and Google Webmaster Tools. This gives you data on how your website is found, what pages your customers are landing on, and tracks conversions all the way through your website.
I get more bang for the buck for every ad on Google AdWords
Google AdWords and Pay Per Click AdWords is pay per click advertising. Do a search on Google and you’ll notice that there are three spots reserved at the very top of the search engine results that show paid ads.
You may also notice that these ads run down the right side of the Google page results. Advertisers bid for positioning on a particular search term. This allows their businesses to be displayed based on highly targeted results such as demographics, location targeting, device targeting, language targeting, etc. Advertisers can create effective ads reaching customers with maximum relevance for their search terms. It’s important to know that this type of advertising allows you to set budgets anywhere from $5 a day to $1000 depending on your budget. We make sure that your ads are highly relevant and target your customers directly.
We ensure that your bids for ads result in conversions through landing pages and Google Analytics. We will help you get the most of your Google AdWords campaign. Call us for a free consultation.
