Since starting in 2006 I have optimised many SME web sites across various industry sectors in Ireland and the UK:
- Financial
- Printing
- Health
- Travel
- Services
- Software
Some areas are easier than others – the health and financial areas are challenging, they are however very rewarding for the websites that list on the front page in the search results. Connect with Leslie on Google+
My Unique Selling Point
My marketing friends had hurt my head for quite a while on this, they would not stop asking me, as a SEO Consultant, what mine was. Here it is.
I build websites where I sell adverting space, I have done this for the last 6 years – this has worked only because I am very good with keyword research, writing content and building links. A large proportion of my income comes from these websites. Would you prefer to have someone work on your website who is intent on earning money doing what he likes on the internet?
Background
My background encompasses three main areas – accountancy- (really dull for me), computer programming – (which I love), and sales. I have worked in all of these areas for long periods of time during the last twenty years before building my own websites and then offering search engine optimisation services.
My first website went live in Feb 06. It went to number one for its main key phrases after six months and has stayed at number one since. Working on this site was the beginnings of my internet marketing experience, however my sales background has helped immensely. If you don’t ask you have no chance of getting – one of the main things I learned in sales. In internet marketing you have to ask for something from others all the time.
I love working as a SEO consultant – it is hard work – however it is logical, (and sometimes imaginative), and the results can be fantastic.
Having a web site need not be hugely expensive, on going yearly costs are low compared to traditional media. Up front costs for a blog or small site are normally in the €1200 – €2000 range. SEO costs are often more than the web design cost, it simply takes longer.
From a business perspective the internet is great. Targeted advertising is what you get. Customers are searching for your products, make sure they find you.
