Search engine optimisation






Webme1 is not a SEO company. We design web pages and web sites, at budget prices. We consider it important for business web sites and sub domains to attempt to appear in search engines. Our employing keywords and meta tags (some search engines still use these) is the way we tell the search engines who you are and what you offer. The idea is that when someone puts in a search term, you are correctly identified under the correct category. This is why we will ask at the start of our service for terms that you would expect people to enter into a search engine if they were looking for the sort of service you offer. These terms we use in a number of ways as part of the search engine optimisation process. Any text that you supply or images you provide, may be altered to accommodate these terms as part of the search engine optimisation process at no extra charge. We always try to apply ‘white hat’* techniques to our web pages.
Clients of Webme1 may make their own special arrangements for SEO by retaining SEO companies. If you choose to retain the services of an SEO specialist or a design company who combine SEO as standard, these can be very expensive and can occasionally be a liability. Some companies employ tactics contrary to search engine policies (see link above), which in the long term can have a detrimental affect even to the degree that web pages listings are removed from search engines such as Google. Other companies can charge very high prices or expensive pay per click services. For most small companies this is a waste of money, as no matter how high in a search engine listing you appear there is no guarantee of new business arising from it. If money is tight, more locally targeted advertising might be more cost effective.
Before considering the services of a high priced SEO company, see how Webme1 can help with the Webme1 SEO (search engine optimisation) service.
If a company promises you that they will put you on the first page, ask them "how long will it last"? Ask yourself, "how long can you afford to pay to stay there"? Also ask them "if these companies exist to promote web pages and promise everyone to put them on the first page - with millions of web sites on the net - with thousands of new sites being added every day, search engine listings are constantly changing- how is this possible?" What will the service user be typing in to find you and how likely is it that the search term you are paying for will be used? Make sure you get a definitive answer before you part with money that may not bring you any more business than you would have had from just being on the web anyway.
These services can provide an invaluable service if you feel that it is imperative to be so highly ranked. However, before committing ask yourself who your target market is and if local, potentially cheaper advertising might suffice. When advertising you should add your web address link so prospective customers can read all about you.and the benefits of using your services.
You may not get custom from being on the web but it is more likely that you will lose custom by not being on the web. People find you from other sources and then expect to be able to find you on the Internet to decide if you are what they want. If they cannot find you on the web, this usually means they go elsewhere. After all, you are reading this because our website is on the web. How else would you be able to see all our details and consider out services? If we were not on the web, would you even consider using us?

There are a variety of search engines on the Internet and a number of ways the search engines can find a website. Our SEO activities on behalf of our business clients are the same, regardless of whether you use the Webme1 web site service or sub domain web site service.
There are a number of things that can be done in order to try to ensure that these search engines correctly categorise your site, so that your service users can find you. These practices are referred to as SEO which stands for search engine optimisation. Generally search engines use what can be referred to as either spiders, robots or bots. These elements trawl through millions of web sites and check the information the sites contain. They check the details, the relevancy of the information contained, ease of access and other accessibility and compliance issues. This is done so that when a site is catalogued it is correctly categorised. It is based on knowing which words and phrases to use to promote your website under the correct category, in order that the search engines can bring up your web site in the list of search results when those search terms are used. The intention is that when you type in a subject to search for in a search engine, the information you receive is as relevant as possible. E.g. if you want to find a cleaner to clean your home, you do not want a list of sites that sell spectacle cleaner.
