  • Website Design Question 3: Is my web design aimed correctly at my intended audience?
  • Website Design Question 4: Has my web design taken into account the functions of my website?

Search Engine Optimisation (SEO)

Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) describes the process and techniques involved in increasing a website's ranking on a Google search.

This Search Engine Optimisation ranking does not carry through to all Google searches. Each specific set of keywords entered into a Google search will produce a completely different set of SEO results.

Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) is most effective when you let the experts direct you. Which searches do you want to aim for? How many SEO keywords should you target? Do you want to aim for

high-volume/high-competition or will you take a more strategic approach?

The Splashbox take on SEO

Would you purchase retail premises, fit out your shop-front, buy loads of stock, set up a cash register and employ staff… and simply hope that customers stumble upon your store?

Of course not! No-one would.

Advertising and marketing would definitely be included in your initial budget. You are well aware that the advertising and marketing of your store will have a direct effect on the amount of customers who would visit your store to make purchases.

Well… why should your website be any different?

SEO, together with a strong email marketing campaign, is the core of your online marketing and advertising.

There’s no point having a website if no one can find it!

How we can improve your SEO

SEO can be improved at any time. Whether you already have a website or are planning to build your first, come and speak to us about planning your SEO, establishing your SEO and improving your SEO.

Our SEO Packages are classified according to how many key word phrases you choose. Each package involves Stage 1 SEO and Stage 2 SEO.

Splashbox uses its specialised SEO techniques to ensure that your website rises up the rankings whenever someone types those key words into a search engine. That’s how SEO works.

Which package you need simply depends on how many SEO key words you would like to target. If you are unsure about your SEO options, we are always happy to meet with you to analyse both your market and your competitors to determine which SEO package suits you best.

SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMISATION STAGE 1 SEO

When you build anything, the foundations are always the most important place to start. When you choose to add or expand to your site, these foundations need to be as strong and well-designed as possible. SEO is no exception to this rule!

There are many factors involved in successful SEO.

A significant amount of these are incorporated in the HTML code sitting behind your website. To give your site the best chance of climbing up the search rankings, all the SEO techniques at your disposal should be set up from the start.

When you need to combine these SEO techniques with key word research, competitor analysis, the creation of sitemaps and submissions to all the major search engines, the Splashbox SEO Stage 1 is where to start.

SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMISATION STAGE 2 SEO

SEO is an ongoing process. Not only do you need to work to climb up the rankings, but you need to work just as hard to stay up there!

Key word research, additional key word recommendations and detailed statistical analysis help Splashbox constantly improve or maintain your ranking. At any point in time, you will always need to know:

  • which SEO key words are working for you;
  • which other SEO key words need to be targeted;
  • how you are performing on search engines due to current SEO techniques;
  • how you can improve these SEO rankings;
  • which search terms are actually leading visitors to your site;
  • where these visitors are landing due to your SEO; and
  • how long they remain on your site.

Once your SEO journey has begun with Stage 1, you will need ongoing analysis, improvement and maintenance. If you care about constantly improving your SEO, Splashbox SEO Stage 2 is where this happens.

Some hints for successful email marketing campaigns

Tip no. 1 for good email marketing – Subject Heading

It sounds obvious that a simple, precise and accurate subject heading would be useful in a successful email marketing campaign. It goes further than that though. You would be surprised to know how many email campaigns don’t make it through spam filters. Your email marketing subject heading must not and cannot sound generic at all. It will go nowhere.

Tip no. 2 for good email marketing – Pick your day carefully

Depending on your industry, there are definitely good and bad times to send out an email marketing campaign. Without getting too specific, avoid Monday mornings and Friday afternoons at all costs! These two timeslots are obvious. Would you be excited to open an email marketing campaign and click through to a website at either of these times? Seems hard to imagine. Most industries have the most success with email marketing on Tuesday afternoons and Wednesday mornings.

Tip no. 3 for good email marketing – Make it easy to unsubscribe

As unbelievable as that sounds, a successful email marketing campaign is one that gives the recipients full control. No-one likes to feel bombarded. People like to feel that they have options, that they hold the cards. So it goes with email marketing. When your email marketing audience know and see that it is so simple as easy for them to opt-out, they are consciously choosing to remain part of your email marketing database. Let your email marketing campaign give them that choice. In turn, they will choose you.

Tip no. 4 for good email marketing – Consistent email marketing

Consistency is the key to consistency! Due to the very nature of email marketing, fitting in with or disturbing your audience’s rhythm and timing makes or breaks your email marketing campaign. If you disturb someone at the wrong time, even if they like your product or service, they can opt-out of you email marketing campaign in any frustrated moment. People are creatures of habit. Approach email marketing with this view. If someone on your email marketing database is happy to receive your email marketing newsletter at a certain time in the week, odds are that they will be happy to receive it at that time every week. Make sure your email campaigns, especially if there is a special offer involved, is sent at the same time every week, consistently.

Tip no. 5 for good email marketing – You are always representing your brand

Email marketing should be no different to anything else you do that represents your company. No spelling mistakes, no missing links andsure about your SEO options, wemail marketing newsletter is your most regular form of communication with your audience it clients. An error in your email marketing campaign is even worse than a glaring error on your homepage – it cannot be taken back. Once your email marketing material has been sent out, there’s no going back! Make sure each and every email that makes up part of your email marketing campaign deserves to have your name and logo on it.
