Vancouver Business Marketing is easy when you know who to call for assistance. Hiring a random Internet company to list your site on 6000 directories for only $99 isn’t going to do you much good when you are a Landscaping company in Burnaby.You sure aren’t going to fly to Spain to cut lawns, so why would you want to advertise there?

When you are a local business that doesn’t ship products or services out of the Lower Mainland, you need a different approach when it comes to marketing your site. You need to get listed on local directories and web sites, have local residents talking about you on their blogs and sites and you need ads on websites where people in your geographical area will search.

At RTP Online we are all about the Lower Mainland search market. When we first meet new clients, our first questions will be,”What is your target geographic area? Are you planning on servicing the Fraser Valley and Interior of BC, or just the GVRD? We aim to find out who your ideal customer is, and then go out and get them to you!

Once we know who you’d like to attract to your site, we can start putting things in motion in order to ensure that the very same people you want buying your products and services, are the ones we drive right to your front door. There is no point marketing to the US or Europe through countless directories and link lists if those people can’t even  buy what you are selling!

If you have a Lower Mainland based business and want to get more local people to your site, give us a call at 778-928-4878 or email us so we can help.

What is SEO?

SEO is the art of being able to attract relevant search engine traffic to a website, for the purpose of increasing sales and leads, readership, brand awareness or publicity. SEO(Search Engine Optimization) is not something that you can do in a hour, nor can you pay $29.95 and expect results. Optimizing a website takes time and effort to ensure that you are driving the people that will want to buy your products or services or read your words, right to your website’s front page.

The first step for any SEO that is about to take on a new client is to learn about the business. The SEO will want to know about your products and services, know your target market and know the geographic area that you want to service. SEO’s that promise fantastic listings without even asking what your business is about will not be beneficial to your wallet, nor your business.

In more technical terms (according to Wikipedia),

Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of improving the volume or quality of traffic to a web site from search engines via “natural” (”organic” or “algorithmic”) search results. Typically, the earlier (or higher) a site appears in the search results list, the more visitors it will receive from the search engine. SEO may target different kinds of search, including image search, local search, and industry-specific vertical search engines. This gives a web site web presence.

For the layman, SEO helps you make more money from your site if you sell a product or service or have ads on your site, increases your readership if you are a blogger and generally increase the amount of people that will come into contact with your site.

SEO isn’t as expensive as you might think and is a great return on your investment, unlike Yellow Pages or other print advertising. Although not many people can be considered experts at SEO, RTP Online has many references from business owners that know the value of our hard work.
