Having a website search engine optimization plan is the number one thing that a business owner can do to provide leads continuously over time, but most will never achieve this with their website. Website optimization can attract more people to your website, increase customers for your business, and brand your company and products. If you are just beginning your online optimization strategy, having the plan written out will help you or anyone that may be assisting you with your endeavors. Remember, sticking to the basics will take you far. If you can make at least one update and one new page to your site each month you will have at least 12 new pages each year. Adding new pages is more that 85% of what your competition will do this year.
Coming up with a mapped out plan is not hard, you just need to know what direction you are going. Start this by diagramming out your entire site on paper. Whether you have an existing site or a brand new site, having a road map of your site is a must to achieve your goals. A simple flow chart that shows pages and sub pages, plus the keywords that will be used on each page, will keep things straight. Knowing who your target audience is will help you with your SEO program and help you define what pages are needed. Reaching your end user is simple. Develop good keywords that will guide your user to your site. Just remember that it’s not what you think your keywords are, but what your user thinks they are. A good Web developer or SEO consultant can help you to develop great keywords, and show you where and how to use them properly.
If you need help, get it today. Don’t wait! A web developer or SEO consultant can point you in the right direction and make changes for you. If you don’t have a CMS (content management system) where you can make changes yourself, 24/7 from any computer, you will need to pay for help. A professional will guide you and show you the best practices to get you on the right track. Having a plan and making sure that you stick to it will ensure you results in the future. It’s like scheduled maintenance on your car. Keep on top of it and your website will take care of your business!

Get a Marketing Coach and learn how you can market your business yourself online.
December 14, 2009
KNOXVILLE, TN: (WiredPRNews.com) — Bingham Johnson Consulting has decided Christmas is coming early for you this year. Not only are we lowering prices of the marketing membership plans for the holiday season, we are letting everyone in on the big secret. Over the last few years marketing agencies have been selling everyone on the idea that marketing your company online is a huge hassle and only the experts can do it.
Well, we want you to know that is just not true: Online marketing is simple and cost effective for any business – any size, any location, any time of the year.
Bingham Johnson Consulting, with their personal marketing coaching plans, wants to help put the marketing back in the hands of the client. Adam, founder of Bingham Johnson Consulting, has said from the beginning that “No one can market your business like you can” and we at Bingham Johnson stand behind him with our simple and easy marketing plans. Our goal is to teach you everything that we know about fast, efficient, and cost effective marketing so that after completing one of our programs you will never need another marketing agency again.
There are many effective ways to market your company online. One of the most recent ways that is gaining a lot of popularity is social marketing. This is where you can get your fans from Facebook to Tweet your Mixx and it all gets launched on your LinkedIn so everyone Diggs it. (If you have no idea what language that last sentence was in, do not worry, we have a plan for you so by the end of the program you will be laughing like the guy next to you is). Social media may be one of the most cost effective marketing options available – and by that I mean cheap because once you have everything established it turns into word of mouth advertising. The only downside is it does take time, effort, and constant monitoring in the beginning to get this ball rolling, but once it does, strap on your seat belt and grab your racing goggles – you are off!
Next to social media, the most cost effective option is Organic search – also known as Search Engine Optimization. Some of you may be wondering what in the world is SEO? As you read this, go to Google and enter in the search box your favorite hobby in your city and state: for example, “Badminton, Knoxville, Tennessee”. Ever wonder how Google determines who comes first in those results? It has absolutely nothing to do with how much they paid for the website and everything to do with the quality of their keywords. I am sure that there are some fancy badminton websites with flash, music, things that sparkle and that give you loading options, but you will have a hard to impossible time finding them in the results from any standard search engine if you do not know their website address. The best way to get your fancy website to work for you is to have high quality SEO, and to get that you must have high quality keywords. Now, do not panic if your website does not – nine times out of ten you will not need to purchase a new website, you will just need to tweak your old one. Bingham Johnson can teach you how to do that and manage it so before long you will be the number one search result!
As a business owner there are key factors you need to know and utilize to get noticed on the web, with social media, SEO, and keywords being just a few that we’ve talked about. Bingham Johnson is here to teach you or your team everything you need to – whether it is just the basics of internet marketing or the how-to’s of launching synchronized social and Ad Word campaigns. We have the tools and knowledge you need to run a successful advertising campaign.
Still have no idea what in the world we are talking about? Do not worry or give up on getting your advertising and marketing needs up and running. We have basic coaching memberships that just teach you all the ways the internet can work for you. We are determined to take the time needed to make sure you can market yourself and manage your campaign for years to come. Just think of us as your personal coach, because that is what we want to be for you. With our easy and affordable membership plans you can pick & choose options based on your needs, and we will personally coach you along your road to internet marketing success!

Most business people think that just because they put a website online, it’s going to get visitors. If I submit my site to the search engines it will show up in searches. I don’t have to do anything to my site once it’s live. This way of thinking can kill your business online. Why? Because no one has ever shown you how to optimize it’s potential.
Now, after hearing this, let’s talk about getting optimized. You would never buy a new car and never get an oil change the entire time you owned it, right? Many business owners still treat their websites this way. We still need to do the maintenance that will keep our sites a well-oiled machine; after all, we paid good money for it.
We usually complain that our competition is showing up ahead of us on Google. Why? Because they probably had a plan and stuck to it. They also looked into getting help with an online marketing plan. An Internet marketing plan takes time, effort, and sometimes money, but you will defiantly get a return on your investment if you stick to it. It all comes down to time; if you spend the time (or sub it out to a professional) you will get the desired results.
I am Adam Johnson and I am a marketing coach for Bingham Johnson Internet Marketing. For years I have seen the mistakes that business owners and in-house marketing departments make with their online marketing, advertising, and SEO (search engine optimization) programs. This should be the one place that all business owners should be putting in the majority of their time, attention and money. Having the mindset that it’s a one time shot and it’s over will only reap minimal results. In this economy having an excellent online presence can be the deciding factor between choosing your business or a competitor’s for products or services.
I hope over the next few months to point out and displace any myths that are out there about marketing your business online and the right ways to go about it. I will cover the things that should never be neglected on your site. We want our sites to not only look great, but to perform and make us money! So get ready, it’s time to get optimized!
