82% of Internet users go online to source local information” -The Internet in Britain 2009, OxIS (Oxford Internet Surveys), June 2009
Search engine marketing (SEM or you might know it as SEO – Search Engine Optimisation) is a key area of running any successful online business, especially when Google will be the primary source that people use to find your business online.
Simply put, if your website is not developed correctly from the beginning and isn’t visible or easily readable by the search engines, then you are going to be at a big disadvantage.
Organic search engine traffic is this life blood for many websites and online businesses. Here at Smartdog we like to think we know a thing or two about search engine marketing.
Some people believe SEO to be some dark art or voodoo magic….it’s really not! Smartdog’s search engine marketing service is transparent, honest and provides measurable results.
There are many factors that govern your website’s ability to rank in the search engines. The two main areas Smartdog will focus our attention on for your business are:
Search Engine Optimisation of Content & Quality of Content provided
External Links and Authority Sources linking to your website.
Content is King. Did you know that businesses who blog get 50% MORE TRAFFIC to their websites. This is no small coincidence, the more pages you have indexed in the search engines, the more visibility your website will have, resulting in getting found for more keywords and attracting more search engine traffic.
Imagine two websites with the same authority in Google. Website A has 20 pages of quality written and optimised content, Website B on the other hand has 10 pages of crappy content and isn’t well optimised.
Which one do you think will out rank the other?
If you said A, your right. Google is looking for quality, they want to serve quality content to their end users searching for content on the web. Why would Google want to place a website 1st for ‘Dog Coats‘ if the content was poorly written and produced around that topic.
The reality is that many businesses struggle to find the time to update their content or don’t know how. Some websites that I’ve seen recently haven’t been updated for years.
At Smartdog we focus on helping you to produce quality, authoritative, informative content that can used to improve your visibility and establish quality external links to your website.

The kinds of content we can help you produce to keep you website update and to engage with your audience and customers are:
