My clients and prospects often ask, “When should I update or redo my website? Well, the answer is a bit complicated because to redo or not is determined based on a variety of elements. Some of these elements can be measured and others that often are no more than just a feeling or preference. The short answer, call me to discuss. The slightly longer answer… you need to start by asking yourself a few basic questions.
Short answer…absolutely!! (you may skip to the end and contact me for some help) or
Longer answer…Trucking companies can and do grow their businesses with digital marketing. An SEO strategy is just as important as any other kind of business strategy, if not more so today. In other words, SEO, also called search engine optimization, is the process you follow if you want more leads from your website.
SEO is a process in which you outline and implement steps that serve to improve the ranking of your website on search engines. It is one of the most important aspects of any marketing plan for any business, including trucking.
2020 has been a challenging year for many dental practices as the options for driving new patients to your practice have been temporarily hindered. You may have been promoting your practice at invitation events like Halloween or by getting out into the community to help others, maybe special promotions for patient referrals, outreach with social media, maybe a newsletter?

Junk removal is a competitive industry; with one giant company and many smaller, more localized players. Whether you are buying a franchise, starting a junk removal business on your own or joining one of the hundreds of other local, regional and national waste management companies, your marketing and advertising efforts have a direct impact on potential revenue.
Can the small, local junk removers compete with the million-dollar budget of the “Big Guy”? You bet they can! And they do.
I often get asked about the importance of inbound links to your web site and the effects these links have on your Inbound Marketing success.
In 2020, it has never been more accurate to say that the breadth and regular posting of content on your website determines the quantity and quality of visitors who will find your site through search.
Content is still King! Long Live the King!
A properly optimized Meta description will enable a search engine user to determine whether your site is worth investigating in their search for the answer to whatever information they seek. In other words, meta tags become your on SERP (search engine results page) marketing tag line which is your chance to tell potential visitors to come and see your site. Very important!!
According to Wikipedia, “Meta Elements are tags used in HTML or XHTML documents to provide structured metadata about a Web page. They are part of a web page’s head section. Multiple Meta elements with different attributes can be used on the same page. Meta elements can be used to specify page description, keywords and any other metadata not provided through the other head elements and attributes.”
Video, it has been said, is the new text. I agree.
There is a growing contingent of practitioners who feel that websites should adopt content that not only embodies what is most important to the user but also enhances the user experience by seamlessly informing, engaging and informing through audio, text, imagery and video – everything but text.
I believe that a site owner who doesn’t add video is missing out; that they are missing a very big trick by not incorporating content that has the capability to connect with their intended audience.
The Dunford Group consults with companies every day about the best way to spend their on-line marketing dollars. I always recommend creating a list of primary keywords that will drive web site content production and a list of secondary keywords that content creators should keep in mind when writing a web site page or a blog posting for their site.
