Website Submission
If the search engines do not know your website exists, very few people will be able to find it. That is why one of the first tasks we engage in during your SEO campaign is search engine submission, directory submission, and local search and directory submission. This way the search engines will know your website exists and will begin indexing every page on your website soon after your project starts with us.

Directories (free & paid)
There are many quality directories on the Internet such as DMOZ and Yahoo! Directory. Being listed in directories like these can provide great benefits to a website’s rankings and for new websites, it is an absolute necessity. However, there are many directories out there of questionable value and knowing which ones to submit to and which ones to avoid is difficult, even for a long-time website owner. At Search Marketing, LLC, we have over twenty-five years of combined experience submitting our client’s websites to high quality directories. We know what to look for in a directory and we know what to avoid – we never guess.

Search Engines
When you submit your website to the search engines, you are basically telling them that you exist and you are asking them to come and take a look at your site. Though this in of itself will not improve rankings, it can help to speed up the process of getting new sites or new content indexed faster which means it shows up in search results faster. To help ensure that this project is as successful as possible, we hand submit our client’s sites to the major search engines and never use any automated robots.

Local Search
It used to be that when someone needed to find a local business, they turned to the Yellow Pages (you know that big book you use as a doorstop). Today local search has become the predominant way that consumers find local businesses. They are turning to the local listings on Google, Yahoo!, Bing, Yellowpages.com, etc. If your website is not showing up in the local search results on these websites and others, you are missing out on a significant number of new customers, new customers that may be finding your competition instead of you. Partner with Search Marketing today and see what a difference local search can make for you!
