Absolutely, without hesitation.

Yes.

As the world is moving further and further to having everything online, if your business isn’t listed then not only are you not in the game, you aren’t even on the oval. Your customers want answers immediately, whether it is to simply know your opening hours, find your number to book a table, call you to request a quote, or read reviews from other customers. If your business and all of its relevant information isn’t there on the first page of Google, then they will have read someone else’s information and you will never know that customer you could have had.

Search Engine Optimisation is the term used for making sure that your website gets found by the people looking for it. There are billions of websites on the internet, and various different search engines that people use to find the information they need, although Google is by far the authority and main one.

A strategy will be developed, our road-map, if you like, for how we are going to get the outcomes needed. We will then put together the design and develop it.
