Numero Uno Web Solutions, a Toronto-Based Internet Marketing Company, Announces Strategies to Helps Small Businesses Compete with Much Larger Brands
Toronto, Canada (PRWEB) July 28, 2013 -- Numero Uno Web Solutions (NumeroUnoWeb.com), a fast-growing global Internet marketing firm that caters to small- and mid-size business-to-consumer companies, announces how its search engine optimization (SEO) strategies can help smaller brands compete with much larger companies.
“SEO can be a challenging and often confusing environment, no matter how big or small a business is,” says Andy Wu, business development manager at Numero Uno Web Solutions. “One major misconception about SEO is that big companies with big budgets get ranked higher on search engines like Google, Yahoo!, and Bing. The fact of the matter is, with a well-optimized SEO campaign, smaller companies can in fact compete with much larger brands Just because a well-recognized brand is popular offline does not mean it is monopolizing a top online ranking.”
Search engines crawl the Internet and rank sites based on proprietary search algorithms, Wu explains—not the size of the company or annual revenue. Search engines rank a site based largely on the kind of information it provides, specifically on whether it’s useful and provides value. Brands that provide creative content get shared more often than those that do not, being rewarded with higher online rankings.
“Because search engines rank brands based on their content and usefulness, smaller companies, even individuals, can become great brands, says Wu. By publishing relevant and reliable information, sites can become an authority in their field, which can increase traffic, links, and ranking,” Wu adds. “Instead of focusing on using strategies designed to lure customers in and get sites to rank higher, it’s more important to keep the customer and their needs in mind, because what the brand thinks is important could be very different from what a customer wants.”
According to the experts at Numero Uno Web Solutions, whether a small- or medium-sized business wants to compete on a local or national level, their SEO can benefit from location-based optimization. In addition to telling users what services they provide, smaller brands should consider tying it in with geographic keywords, advises Wu. This is because potential customers who are using location-based searches are usually in close proximity and motivated to act on what they discover online—something larger firms tend to overlook.
“Another way smaller firms can increase traffic and rank is with a pay-per-click advertising campaign,” Wu concludes. “While it means paying for traffic, it also means getting immediate exposure on the first page of Google for relevant keywords. It’s important to remember that you only pay when someone clicks on an ad, and it can be modified based on when and where the ads are shown.”
