When do you need a website?
Well this is simple, you need a website when you are looking for clients or if you want to keep a community and distribute your brand, but generally nowadays you always need one. A website is like a store. Now your decision is if you need a shop on the main road or in a small side alley where no visitor pass.
Search Engine Optimisation - expose your website to the public
Search Engine Optimisation of your web content is becoming a standard nowadays. Don’t be fooled by the companies telling you it is not and that your website will list all by itself. Some people just do not know how to do it and some companies just try to rank your website on the first page with your company name.
Search Engine Optimisation means to analysis and define your keywords. Keywords are words where your target audience searches your services or product through certain words. There are different tools that you can use to find out the keywords and the monthly search queries done on the search engines. Google Keyword Tool offers a free tool for this issue. In addition, Google Keyword Planner is a tool within Google Adwords, so you would need to subscribe for an Adwords account.
