SEO is as necessary as advertising in the Yellow Pages Book was 15 years ago. Many companies either market online or hard copy. It is important to accurately identify who your target population is in order to successfully reach them. In our case, we find about 90% of our clients find us online and about 10% find us in the hard copy Yellow Pages. Many times it has been brought up that we should cancel those ads but if your computer is down, how on earth are you going to find a company to repair your computer? We certainly don't weigh the cost of paper advertizing over the cost of online marketing and SEO. Perhaps more relevant examples like today's need to be made known to people. If companies are not tracking how their clients are obtained, I highly encourage them to do so. SEO is a marketing essential, just like computers are to your business.

If the Web designing testimonials aren’t readily available ask, and verify them. Call or email the references and ask how their experience was with the designer and if they were satisfied with the work.
