You will always read somewhere online the headline from some other respected Internet Marketer’s that SEO IS DEAD! MMMmmm!! Yes, well without doubt the ‘Old School of SEO is dead.<\/p>\n

And there are those who will say that the only way to get customers is by doing Pay Per Click Advertising<\/a><\/strong> using mainly Google AdWords. MMMmmm!! Well, it is not the only way but I would want to have PPC Advertising included in my overall Multi-Channel Marketing Strategy.<\/p>\n

How to Get Help In Scotland To Market Your Website and Get Proper Advice<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Here at ICTADVISOR LTD<\/a><\/strong>, I have been an Internet Marketing Practitioner for over 18+years now starting out when Google was still called BackRub\u00a0<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Since those very early days (in my opinion) is doesn’t matter which way you look at marketing a website – the web page has to be – Optimised<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n

Your web landing page must be tuned towards attracting the right audience whose only aim is to find the right page that will answer their need.<\/p>\n

If Google AdWords was your only marketing strategy, you still have to ensure your website landing page is – Optimised<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n

If you are doing PPC, Google takes into account a number of factors associated with both your landing page and how that page aligns to the ad you have created which has to then meet with a Quality Score<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I recently read a very interesting article by Neil Patel <\/a>where in his blog he made a very valid statement in his conclusion summary. Neil said “Keyword Research isn’t for lazy Marketers looking for a quick buck<\/em><\/strong>“.<\/p>\n

But unfortunately that is what us Internet Marketing Practitioners in Scotland<\/a> are faced with when we get approached by the Small Business Website Owners.<\/p>\n

And, you know what?<\/strong> I am not going to blame the business owner for thinking like this! Because, unfortunately, there are few places that you as the business owner trying to make your website work can turn too where good solid advice and gaining some education on how to market your small business website can be given to you without you having to break the bank to get that advice and help.<\/p>\n
