Why Invest in a Search Marketing-ready Website?
Stand Out from the Crowd
A website allows you to present yourself and your services in a way that can best emphasize your key service strengths. It is a forum that you are not obligated to share your competitors, as is the case with both general listing and exclusive directories.
Avoid Never Ending Monthly Payments
Making an investment in a custom website is the most cost effective over the long run when compared to, for example, an endless $59 per month payment, which over 10 years comes to $7080.
Get More For Your Money
It is true that you might pay more upfront for a custom website, but you will receive much more traffic from the investment, actual cost per lead will be much lower when compared with other Search Marketing methods. This is typically true even in year one of the website’s life. This assumes, of course, that your dollars are at least equally going to the optimization piece as the design and development work.
Avoid High Monthly Hosting Payments
When you invest in a custom website it is possible to avoid excessively high monthly hosting fees frequently charged by many web design firms and agencies, especially smaller local agencies that target small local businesses. Basically a good rule of thumb for the small business is to avoid design shops that use proprietary CMS platforms where your code is locked into a greater system, rather than existing as a complete and separate entity where you are the owner of your code assets post-project. Frequently they are code-clunkers from a Search Marketing perspective due to heavy coding. Meanwhile, since you are just one site in a bigger system, you will probably be told you need to pay a $50 per month hosting fee as a basically captive user. Worst of all, if the firm goes out of business your site may go down with their business.
Based on open source technology, it should be easy to find a Content Management System that is ‘no strings attached’ – no high hosting fee, no service contract, no access fees to get to your website content.
Ceed uses an internationally well-known open source code platform used by large agencies and available in about 38 languages. All clients own rights to their website. Hosting Services with Sprout-Hosting.com are generally required if you are ordering a service package because this is how costs are kept lower. For additional labor hours, the Ceed Content Management System can be installed on any Linux / Apache hosting service of your choice.
