St Louis Internet Marketing

We are internet marketers – LOL!

Almost everyone knows what LOL stands for. Some of us know even know what ROFL stands for. My point here is this - there are far too many acronyms and terms to confuse everyone trying to get more exposure for their business on the internet.

Some companies consider SEO Services - or search engine optimization – internet marketing. Some companies use social media - SMM, while others use IM - inbound marketing. There’s PPC – which is pay-per-click marketing or otherwise search marketing; …don’t forget twittering and blogging and AIM!

314media offers real world, proven solutions to raise traffic, reach, and exposure levels for your web site for just about any budget.

Organic Search

Organic search listings are the natural listings that occur from whan a search engine spiders your website. They are provided to users when a keyword is entered into a search engine. The listings are not paid, or they are the websites the search engine has determined to be the most accurate matches for the keywords entered. The goal of the search engines are to deliver the “most accurate” results for the search terms.

Most search engines offer two types of search results to their customers: paid results (typically at the top or on the side) and organic or natural results. While paid results can get your Web site to rank higher for a specific keyword phrase (because you’ve paid to be high in the results), most customers consider these results to be little better than advertising, and will often skip over them in favor of the natural or organic search results.

An organic search is a search that generates results that were not paid advertisements. Many customers feel that these results are a more accurate reflection of what they might want when searching for a specific phrase, because they are generated by popularity and common usage.

St Louis Web Design studio 314media can help you business achieve top ranking. It won’t happen overnight, but our proven strategies will put your business at the top of the list. Contact us for a plan of action today.

Search Engine Optimization

Optimizing your website so that search engines can find you is one of the most important things you can do to help your website be found on the internet. Without optimization, your site will rank lower than your competitors and it will be difficult to find without your potential customers typing in your company’s name into their search engine of choice.

Some firms promise that can get you to the top of the listings and want you to pay large amounts of money for them to do this. We feel that SEO is part of the web package that you purchase from us and we want your website to be successful. Some Saint Louis SEO (search engine optimization) companies do not include SEO with their packages. Be sure to read the fine print. If you’re not getting any traffic to your new or existing website, contact 314media to learn how to improve your St. Louis and national web site traffic numbers with our Search Engine Optimization services.

SEO is a pretty basic process. Most search engines have different criteria that they look for when looking at your website. Does your web site title make sense? Is there relevant information about the title near the top of the page? Do you have keywords and descriptions for the search engines to find? Do you have text that is relevant to your website on the page? Also, when a search engine looks at your web site, they do not see what you see. They see the code portion and not the graphical part.

314media can analyze your website and provide a scoring system for your website and also give you advice on what can be done to improve your website’s ranking. We first focus on Google and most of the larger search engines will feed off of that. MSN and Yahoo are also very important, but usually if Google likes you, they all will…

Tony’s is one of a handful of AAA five-diamond restaurants in the country. All their food is exquisite, however, we highly recommend the scallops in truffle sauce, Tony’s salad and the lobster & scampi in mustard sauce.

Porter’s Steak House, in Collinsville, IL, is another favorite of 314media. We highly recommend their Grilled Pepperloin or The Chicago.
