Q: Will I need to advertise & market my new website?

A: Yes! A website does not become findable online by virtue of its very existence. If you do not spend the time to advertise and market your website, you might as well not have one.  Marketing a website takes time on your part. We provide training on how to market your site, etc. but it is up to you to do it.

Q: How long will it take my website to get to page one of Google?

A: There is no answer to this. Placement on Google relies on many factors that all work together. The more you market your website according to the directions we give you about what to do (and what NOT to do!) the better your website will fare in the search engines. Please know that a brand new website seldom hits page one of Google without consistent time and effort spent in marketing the site.

QUESTIONS ABOUT SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION

Q: What is Search Engine Optimization?

A: Also called SEO, Search Engine Optimization refers to the methods used in creating your website to make it as "findable" online as possible. We have done the 90% of the work to help your site get found online. We have given each website page a keyword-filled title tag, description and keywords. Zen Cart is naturally SEO-friendly in that it automatically assigns a title tag to each product in your catalogue. You can do further SEO work on your site if you wish, and we provide you with the training to be able to do that.
