LINKS
07
Link Building What is it: Inbound links form a critical part of search engine optimisation. Due to the democratic nature of the web, search engines give sites with inbound links a higher ranking. Each inbound link acts as a vote for your website. Based on the quality of that link, it can be a small vote or a large one. So building links must be done carefully. There is no point building hundreds of links that have little or no value.
I just wanted to say thank you
for many years of support and hard work you have put into
our marketing and website. With your help the website is now
Firmly embedded in the search engines.”
Joe Jones What we do:

We follow 20 rules in link building to ensure your links are of a consistent high quality even when we are bulk building these links. We can provide as many as 100 links per month which will drive search engine positioning and your sites authority on the web.

SYNDICATION
08
Online PR and Articles What is it: Strategically publishing articles or distributing Press Releases on various websites over the Internet
improves
your
businesses
exposure
as well as increases your sites inbound links. Using focused keywords in the content improves the value of those inbound links and helps as part of your search engine marketing strategy.
What we do: • Given a rough script, we can create your
article or press release
• Given your article or press release, we can
optimise it
•
Once ready we can distribute your content
via syndication websites.
•
Finally we report on results
Why: For a fraction of the cost of traditional press releases, we can send your news release through syndication hubs and accomplish the following:
•
See your news on top-tier news sites like
Yahoo! News. Increase your visibility and rankings in search engines like Google. Get your news to top journalists and media outlets and drive qualified, ready-to-buy traffic to your website.
•
Article syndication will help site rankings in the
same way that press releases do. Done correctly, article syndication can help build a personal or business reputation as an authority on a subject.

AUDITS

“Damon and I have

and energy for his
subject compelling. He
is a fabulous presenter
with the deepest
understanding of
his marketplace and audience.”
Carolyn Henderson Managing Director Warren House
Website Audits TECHINCAL SITE AUDIT What is it: Emotio will provide a technical audit of your site covering issues such as site navigation, search engine spiderability for websites, code analysis, URL’s, redirects and the inclusion of technical enhancements such as XML sitemaps. We would also outline various advanced SEO systems and inclusions that Emotio, or your development company, could build into your site to improve your rankings.
On page search engine optimisation is only half the battle. If the site is not structurely setup for SEO then whatever the work carried out on page (meta, headings, keyword density etc.) it will be less effective if the site is not set up properly for indexing by the search engines.
Our technical audit will ensure that if your site has not got all the elements to make it a success we will be able to let you know.
USABILITY AUDIT What is it: Often when your website is being built the people closest to it don’t see how difficult the site might be to use. It’s like having an old car. It becomes automatic to lift the door a little when opening it, then pumping the accelerator twice before turning the ignition.
Once the car starts you rev to 5000 for three
seconds and let it come down to a nice idle speed or it stalls. Now think what it would be like to give some one the keys to your car and tell them to go for a drive, they might not even get the door open! Some websites are like this and usability is often a key in getting conversions (sales, enquiries, downloads, etc) from a site.
Emotio’s team will provide a manual audit of a websites usability as well as an expert review of the sites usability.

Brand management and marketing
Why: Branding is the major protection against your company being perceived as just another mundane supplier whose products and services are readily available
from
your
competitors,
leading
to
choice by price. With the worldwide web making it easy to locate your opposition by way of search engines, the need for products and services to be perceived as unique is imperative. The solution lies in projecting a brand image that has been carefully researched, dynamically created and finally applied in a manner that will increase market awareness, whilst enhancing your company’s image.
Emotio can help define what your brand represents to the eyes of your target market.

LITERATURE
11
Design for Print What is it: A well-designed piece of literature will re-enforce your brand and when produced correctly could be a great help in raising your company’s profile. Emotio can design your flyers and brochure to give you the upmost credibility with your target market.
What we do: • Brochure design •
Direct mail
•
Flyers
•
Stationery
•
Postcards
Why: Visually attractive design alone will not necessarily attract new business. To be successful many critical factors must be integrated into the design process. There are many ways to improve the results gained by the use of corporate literature. Emotio have spent years producing creative designs that have resulted in a positive response, to the benefit of our many clients.
For instance, we know it is important for your image to promote the main advantages to be gained by dealing with your company. No matter how well a brochure’s copy is put together, very few people will read every word. We also understand the need for your literature to be sufficiently dynamic to present a clear call to action. There are many other key issues when designing literature but for the best results specific guidelines must be followed.
