SEO + Google Ads

Organic SEO is all about optimising your website not only for your customers but for search engines. There are many simple techniques which can help improve your search engine rankings, and Webreturn have many years successful experience in ethical SEO. Providing suitable meta tags is just a small part of optimisation, much more important is making sure your website content is relevant to the sort of terms that your customers will search for. There are also ways of including relevant extra information, to help Google, not to cheat.

While organic SEO is pretty much essential, you can boost your website visibility and reach through search engine advertising. Using campaigns such as Google’s Ads mean you can have your website on the first page of search results.

Adwords is a form of PPC Marketing where you only pay when someone clicks through to your website. You can target keywords or combinations of terms, bid price per term and specify a daily budget. It is a particularly effective marketing strategy for business sectors where there is heavy competition, or for high value goods, or for start-ups, where your website has not had enough time to be ranked effectively.

Webreturn can advise, set up a campaign and monitor its effectiveness.
