Direct traffic

  • Use the power of word of mouth to promote your website by giving your website directly to people.
  • Put your website in cards and give them away in networking events related to your business.

  • Google Ads (Pay Google): Pay Per Click system (PPC) to appear higher in the Google Sponsors Listings.

Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) on page

Add more textual content to all your pages as Google index all your pages by reading keywords in the text copy of each page, so each page has to target its own set of keywords.

  • Create 2 sets of keywords per page: Use synonyms
    • Theme Keywords that define your business, these are generic and high competitive keywords.
    • Niche Keywords that define what you offer and which differentiate you from your competitors, such as location, these are more specific and less competitive keywords that narrow down a search.
  • Create your Search phrases: Using combinations of your 2 sets of keywords (Theme and Niche), create search phrases of 2 and 3 Keywords that are most likely to be used by people to find each page.
  • Write the text content copy for your pages using your search phrases so each page is rich in its own search phrases.
    • Use these search phrases when appropriate in your text copy, specially in first paragraph of the page.
    • Use these search phrases in headings, links, image alt tags, navigation, file names, page names, etc…
    • Use Unique contents, not duplicated and do not copy from others.
    • Update your contents regularly.
    • When possible use text instead of images using your search phrases.
    • Use your search phrases in bold and italics.
    • Create a blog with relevant articles to your business using your search phrases.
    • Ask your web developer to put these search phrases in the hidden meta information (Title and Description).
    • Each page should have its own search phrases.
    • If your website is a One page website, create sections with search phrases in ID’s, and use those ID’s as links.

Add Metainformation: Use your search phrases to create two pieces of meta information to be inserted hidden in the code by your web developer. Google will display this information when this page appear in its search result listings:

  • Title: Separated list of words using your search phrases. Up to 65 characters long including spaces. The most important search phrases first, then least important words at the end. If your brand company name is not an important keyword, put it at the end. Each page must have different title tag to accurately describe the content on the page. This Title will appear in browser top tabs, bookmarks and in search result pages.
  • Description: A Paragraph using the search phrases. Up to 160 characters long including spaces having the important search phrases first, using legible and readable text. Each page must have different meta description tag to accurately describe the content on the page. This Description will appear in search results pages.

    My experience with Daniel has been unbeatable so far. His work has always met my expectations. He has designed a few websites for me in the years we have been collaborating. All the works were great. He is a trained professional, dedicated and very quick at the time of making the modifications you request or solving occasional problems. These are fundamental issues that are asked of someone to whom you entrust such a personal task. Daniel is definitely the one.

      Thank you Juan Antonio for your nice words.

  • Stephen Philip Schoenberger

    Daniel Rey is an absolute professional who made the entire process of conceiving, designing, building, and launching our website easy and highly successful. From the moment we first met to discuss our needs, his intelligence and innate creativity served as an effective guide for designing a website that has exceeded our expectations and which has received high praise from our visitors in terms of it’s clarity and ease of navigation – a remarkable task in light of the rather technical nature of our content. Mr. Rey has a natural understanding of what will be pleasing to the eye and logical to the mind, and is quite facile in translating this to his designs offered in service of a client’s needs. He is reliable, communicative, and a man of great integrity. Since launching, we have wisely retained him to make tweaks and updates as needed, and will hire him again in a heartbeat for all our website design and construction needs.

      Thank you Stephen for your words.

  • Tom Lawrence

    I’m delighted with the website Daniel has produced for me. He has captured exactly the fresh, bright and professional look I was after. He has provided excellent value for money and has been very responsive to my requirements. Daniel is a very “hands on” web developer, providing plenty of information about everything he does and keeping up a running dialogue with the client. All his communications are in a friendly style and pitched at a level which will help anyone who has no prior knowledge of web publishing. His customer care is exceptional, as is the quality of his output, and on the basis of these two key attributes, I am very happy to endorse his work.
