if your company is struggling to command the attention it deserves within the online arena, you’re likely to be investigating the benefits of employing a specialist SEO or PPC firm. Statistics show that more company owners than ever before are enjoying the distinct advantages of outsourcing their search engine marketing and there are a number of reasons behind this trend. Businesses have found that they benefit from the extensive experience of SEO specialists and are able to free up their time to focus on running their business – bear in mind, too, that a fresh perspective could work wonders for your campaign.

The SEO and PPC fields are ever-changing and, as one of the industry leaders in the UK, Delicious Webdesign  is constantly adapting to new techniques and approaches to continue to offer clients affordable services that achieve fantastic results for their business. We want to increase awareness of brand to your chosen target markets, which ultimately will result in an increase in revenue and an enviable return on your investment.

As a young yet well-renowned company, we have recently enjoyed great success from all our divisions (including search engine optimisation, Pay Per Click (PPC) management and website design), a great achievement considering the current economic climate. Although our services are primarily results-driven, we believe it’s our commitment to client service that truly sets us apart from our competitors, and part of this dedication is fulfilled by handpicking some of the best managers, consultants and designers in the business to bring you truly expert advice and guidance throughout the duration of your campaign.

In 2012 Delicious Webdesign moved offices and partnered with the Essex Computer Doctors in Stanford-le-Hope. Now, several months later and due to the increasing demand for our services, company owner James Brabyn is pleased to introduce the newest members of our team,  Stephen Hewitt who has been involved in SEO consultancy for a number of years and boasts an impressive track record when it comes to achieving first-page positions for clients from all industries and budgets. Stephen has a solid background in social media integration and account management and has swiftly become a driving force behind improving our existing clients’ online exposure, consistently offering fresh alternatives to the traditional approach towards social media platforms.

Stephen will be at hand to guide clients through the search engine marketing process, offer advice and recommendations and generally ensure that you’re on course for the best results possible. All clients that come on board with us receive a dedicated account manager who will act as their first point of contact should they have any questions or require any assistance. We believe it’s important that our clients can turn to an expert they can trust at any time, and with our unparalleled client retention rate, we’re confident that this approach ensures our customers are truly happy with our commitment to the growth of their business.

As a real world example here is a problem and solution we offered for a client with a CMS system (they update their own website text) when they wanted to know if they can update their own javascript photo gallery:

[website client] Firstly The website looks great, everyone that sees it says its the best one in our sector. But I am very confused over the fact that we have not got access to our photos on the photo gallery page.  We though we would have a website that we could manage ourselves, and we have been given this but one of the problems in the past was that we could not get the photos uploaded onto the website. We didn’t know we  would not have access to update the photos pages.  I can understand that we don’t have access to the menu photos  down the side of each page.

[delicious webdesign] Happy to grant you access to the photos page on your CMS system (and have done this now) but the gallery is so technical (it has to be that way to work well) that access by yourself could be problematic and if you dont change them correctly then there will be lots of display problems. Its possible that you can delete the pics but adding a pic requires html knowledge and requires you to resize and optimise two version of the image then upload them to a server. You have admin access to other pages and control over those pages but the gallery page was never specifically mentioned and there is no ‘user friendly’ CMS system that allows easy changes to a ‘comprehensive’ photo gallery. Thanks for the update about the final payment for your website redesign project for your Thurrock Gateway based business.

[website client] Further to our conversation about the photo gallery.  We have some understanding of html.  We know there are two images one small and one large (have seen the link from the small to the large in CMS), the images are presumably stored in a folder on the hosting server? Can you tell us how to put images in the folder on to the hosting server?  If you are able to show me how to remove one image from the gallery page and add another I should be able to become self sufficient.

As we run several events throughout the year we may need to add several photos, but obviously adding another page would mean another tab on each page.  Apart from a blog can you suggest any other way to add more photos.

[delicious webdesign] The only way to do this is to give you ftp access to the website but previously people have tried to do this themselves and it always ends up with website owners corrupting / breaking the page and / or website and involves stress / hassle and costs. (for yourselves due to website downtime and for us in fixing the site). Deleting images will be such a small job it would take us 60 seconds to do this and will not invoice for such small changes as I anticipate you wont need to delete that many / that often.

I really wouldn’t recommend you updating your own galleries as you would need to rename / optimise / resize and then create two pics for each photo to exact sizes then upload them and link them from newly created html.

I think if you get lots of photos and dont want them all on one gallery then in the future we could make you a master gallery that links to the sub-galleries – like this page (master gallery) http://www.denva-interiors.co.uk/brochure-galleries.html or even a page like this http://www.fitted-bedroom-furniture.co.uk/services.html that would lead onto your photo galleries.

You can upload new photos yourself if you take our advice and get a blog for your site but your gallery is bespoke and every photo needs to be resized / optimised and have two version of it so that part of the site is not updatable by yourself.

If you have new photos at a later date then we can add them to the site for you, to make it more efficient in terms of our time and effort (as well as cost) if you have updates for your site you should batch them up and give them to us in one go.

Our Business thoughts for 2012
The objective of a business is NOT to make money. The objective of a business is to satisfy its customers needs.The result is to make money.
We dont sell people websites and SEO but we are involved in helping people to buy what they need and wanting to solve the problem they have

Do the search engines know what your website does? The likelihood is that if you’ve not considered this question you won’t be benefiting from the best quality traffic to your site.

The basics of optimising your site don’t change: Choose the right keywords, make sure that Google can find them on your site (this is the technical bit on-site); then make sure that you’re establishing good quality backlinks (that’s what we’d do on a monthly basis off-site).

We’ll do all of this kind of work for your website for as little as £300 per month (minimum of 3 months) in our SEO Full Program.

That means we’ll get the search engines to recognise your website. We’ll find the best keywords for you, build them into your site, then increase the number relevant backlinks. We’ll boost your position on Google for the terms that will make a difference to your business.

Best of all, if you sign up through 2011 we’ll give you a massive 10% OFF: same level of work, same commitment to results but with a bit more cash in your pocket!

Worried that your site isn’t up to date enough to start the SEO work? We can do all the prep work for you in our SEO Foundation Work if it’s needed, and rates for that start from £299 also we’ll run a FREE report to tell you if that’s necessary or not. You’ll actually be able to see what we mean when we say something…

It’s not just the know-how but the time commitment that keeps SEO on the list of ‘things-to-do’ rather than ‘done’ but getting the right people to your site is such a vital marketing tool, it’s something that businesses just can’t afford to ignore.
