Spring always brings a busy new beginning.

At VNet Consulting, we recently signed a few new clients for websites (thanks!) and are fielding requests every day from website owners who “want some of that SEO stuff.” More and more people are realizing the power of our Search Engine Optimization and Link Building programs.

Even more than that, business owners are realizing that just having an online bookmark with their company’s name on it isn’t good enough anymore.

Think of a website as a Marketing Weapon.

A professionally developed and properly targeted website will help convert leads and make more money for you than it costs. A non-optimized site occasionally takes down a target, but it misses more than it hits.

If your website isn’t ranking high on Google, Yahoo and Bing searches, potential clients aren’t finding your products and services. It’s that simple.

Here are some numbers:

• It’s estimated that the No. 1 item for a given keyword on Google gets 40% of the traffic (we don’t talk about “hits” anymore – that term is as current as cassette tapes). The percentage quickly drops from there.

• It’s also estimated that 80% of people regularly research products online before they buy. (These are real stats – honest!)

Anyways, that’s why the blog’s been quiet here at VNet. We haven’t been hibernating; we haven’t been skiing. We’ve been expanding, restructuring and training all while spreading the word about Search Engine Optimization and our innovative DTC Funnel. Plus we got some AWESOME new vehicle decals!

So keep reading, Vernon. We're just getting started. Again.
