Why have we created NouWeb

• Nouveau have been providing IT Services for 19 years (pre Internet)– We have a massive hole in our portfolio, we

provide the platform but didn’t provide the Design or e marketing side

– In the past we gave web business away– Whose responsibility is the Website - IT or

Marketing?

My other hat (as a business owner)

• I know the pain of trying to get new business• Unless you’re an industry brand, winning

business from the web (without professional help) is not easy

SEOThe Hard Facts!

1.) SEO Cannot Guarantee ResultsNo one can guarantee a #1 ranking on Google – Google Webmaster Guidelines

2.) Keywords Don't Remain Top Forever

3.) Rankings Can Fluctuate at Times

4.) SEO is Not About Mass Link Building

What is better?5 links from related sources

Or150 links from directories and spam sites

5.) SEO is Just Like Website Maintenance It Has To Be On-going

Content

Link building

SocialReview

Improve

6.) Slow and Steady Wins the Race

Instant or quick wins come in the form of Pay Per Click

7.) Nobody is partnered with Google

Google is a search engine not a marketing agency

8.) Buying Links is Bad and Will Result in Penalties at Some Point

4 P’s of SEO

Patience

PersistencePerseverance

Proactive

Patience

• No one is really patient, especially in business – everyone has bills to pay, bosses to report to, investors to satisfy…

• Often making it difficult to justify SEO spend in one quarter when results might happen the next quarter.

Persistence

• SEO isn’t something you can spend a few weeks doing, and then sit back and watch the traffic increase.

• In competitive niches, the competition is going to be working on something every day to reach a goal. Unless you’re doing the same or better, you’ll simply miss out

Perseverance

• No matter how strong your SEO strategy is, you don’t control the SERPs, the search engines do.

• Yes, you can influence it (sometimes very heavily), but you can’t control it.

Proactive

• Any SEO work done today likely won’t affect traffic or revenue today.

• Think and plan ahead. Make sure you factor in the long-term to your day-to-day activities.

Making SEO WorkFor Your Business
