Website Marketing Strategies: Do you Have One ? Website Marketing Strategies: Do you Have One? Tongue in cheek I know and yet many new business owners often comment to us “Isn’t My Web Designer Supposed To SEO My Site? “ Well the answer is yes and knows depending on your relationship with your web designer and your initial agreement. This post isn’t likely to make me many friends from those in the Web Design community but you know what they say… “sometimes, the truth hurts.” The problem is that the “left hand” generally has no idea what the “right hand” is doing and as a result, important details are left undone. In this case, the left hand represents the web designer and the right hand represents the client. Most client’s assume that their web designer will be SEO’ing their website. Most web designers’ assume that the client will hire a specialist to handle the Search Engine Optimization tasks or at least ask them to do it ie optimize their site to get found on the internet for key search terms, for them and their business. Do you see where this is going? After the web designer has finished their part, they put the site live. The client reviews the work, marvels at the beauty, and makes the final payment. The problem is that the site has not been SEO’d at all and the client is completely unaware of this fact.

I’ve seen sites that have been live for years that still have “meta titles” that read, “Untitled Document.” This is a sure sign that no SEO work has even been done and the site’s traffic rankings are usually hideous. Now, I’m not blaming the web designers of the world because I don’t think it’s their place to SEO the sites they build in the first place. I do, however, believe that they should communicate that fact with their clients. Some web designers perform basic SEO to the sites they are building and some outsource the work to a SEO Consultant. Regardless of what is done in terms of SEO, the topic should be discussed with the client. This way, the client will understand what it is they’re paying for and will know to look for a SEO Consultant if that work isn’t being performed. To You and Your Online Success Denise and Sharon
