Search Engine Optimization and Search Engine Marketing

Search Engine Optimization

Search engine optimization is about making sure a customers website is designed and programmed in such a way that it will get categorized correctly by search engines so it will show up for the keywords that the client wants to target.  It is one facet of Search Engine Marketing but one of the most important ones.  If a website is not designed and programmed correctly search engines will not be able to categorize it and the site will not get found by potential customers.

Although the overall graphic design of the website effects its potential for search engine optimization more importantly is the website's information architecture and how it is programmed.  If not done correctly the website will not improve in search engine ranking.

Search Engine Marketing
