A la Carte Website Optimization Services
Your website is often your first (and only) impression. Let me help you make a positive one.
In today’s fast-paced content-driven world, you’ve got one shot to impress your customers – and they often make their decisions in a matter of seconds. Don’t overthink your brand or your image online, make it simple, direct, and clear with the right format and messaging.
Sure you can pay many thousands for amazing design – but never lose sight of the purpose – to attract, retain, and convert guests into customers. That is what I do: design web products that make a direct connection between potential customers and businesses.
WEBSITE OPTIMIZATION SERVICES INCLUDE:
GOOGLE ANALYTICS IMPLEMENTATION
Google Analytics professional installation. – $350. One-time fee
It is almost impossible to grow your traffic without being able to measure it using professional tools like Google Analytics. With this package, I will implement Google Analytics for you (or review your existing installation if you already have it) and install it on your site. This will give you valuable data and insight into your business to increase traffic and encourage high-quality visitors. Google Analytics measures critical events on your website, like who’s calling your business, who’s filling out forms on your website, and which pages people are getting the most value from. Often times people assume they know what their visitors are doing and where they are originating from, but analytics data provide a wake-up call.

Caveats: A brick and mortar business address is generally necessary to achieve a strong map presence)

GOOGLE MAPS IMPLEMENTATION/OPTIMIZATION
Google Map API enablement and website implementation: one time fee, $350
In a difficult location to find? Maps are critical. Google Maps are not only the de facto standard, but they are also closely tied to google search. And google no longer lets you use their maps without a developer API, so the common business doesn’t always know how to properly leverage Google Maps on their website. Get the details you want your customers to see tied to your maps presence.
Google Map API enablement and website implementation: one time fee, $350
Local map inclusion and listing optimization for any business with a physical location
Benefits:
Work toward “top of map” search results for people near your business, allow more people to find/locate your location when they’re on-the-go, and always keep your business listing information updated and accurate when people search for you.
Without controlling your Google Map presence, google can often use its AI to develop your listing for you. Often, becuase they aren’t you – they may mis-categorized the details of your business and the goods and services you provide – causing you to miss out on opportunities for customers who are searching for the services you offer. I can fix that for you. I can claim your google map listing, the targeted categories and locations you want to show up in, and manage the presence of your business from a Map Search Perspective. I can embed google maps in your website as well as upload photos and posts to complement your listing.

GOOGLE BUSINESS SETUP AND IMPLEMENTATION
Google Analytics professional installation. – $500. One-time fee
You may not know it – but Google can be your very best friend – if you use their tools and play by their rules. Many people choose form over function, spend thousands of dollars on design, and find out Google doesn’t deliver the search results they want or need. But help is available. Google Business is there as a portal to help you have some level of control over your business information online. It’s like a conduit to the Google search algorithm, which if you think you can beat – or if someone tells you they can beat – run. It’s not that easy. But having control of your business information helps validate your existence. Many people overlook this direct path to communicating with Google, do a half-assed job of it, or just ignore it completely – a dangerous path. I’ll set you up (by the book) with your physical address and open up the Google door one more click.
Estimated time to complete: 1 Month (Google validation is required and a brick and mortar address may be necessary)
