Brand Guides The Web Optimization Process

Building a website in this way requires an outside-in approach — something virtually impossible to do in-house because your own beliefs and desires clouds your thinking. It is a delicate balance between telling your story and allowing the story to be written by the needs and desires of your target audience — and in their language.

Optimize Your Web Site To Grow Market Share

So much of our business today is dependent on the success of our website. It does not matter if you are P&G and looking to find ways to make your website work harder for you or are a Real Estate giant like Coldwell Banker, your website needs to deliver the goods.

Your website needs to accomplish two things — and a few additional functions if you are a web retailer. It needs to deliver your brand in a way that is in keeping with your brand charter and it needs to be easily accessible. In short, it needs to tell your customers who you are and whom you are for (brand) and it needs to gain you “top-of-page” awareness on major search engines.

Web Optimization is More Important Than Ever

Research today indicates that the web has become the first go-to source for finding just about anything from movie listings to the latest news. Proof of this phenomenon can be seen in the decline in circulation of daily newspapers and the lessening of the importance of Yellow Pages advertising. As the cell phone becomes the home’s main telephone, even the White Pages, as we currently know them, will change or will become less valuable.

Stealing Share® entered the “web” business, not because we could build a great looking branded website (which we can) but because it was quickly apparent to us that designing a great website needed to be a whole lot more than just a graphically pleasing entity. It needed to excite the interest, not only of your customers and prospects but also of the search engines that will seal your fate based upon page placement.
