Search Engine Optimisation (SEO)

Search engines are the primary method that Internet users have to find your website. Everyone wants to be number one on the search engine results list and getting a website as close to the top as possible is called search engine optimisation. At AFM we incorporate SEO into our design process right from the start.

Your Company Website Needs To Be Seen!

There is no point having a website that nobody visits or can find! You may have an exciting, good looking website which you assume will be overwhelmed by traffic, but the reality can be different. AFM can help you raise the profile of your site.

What You Need To Know:

Search Engines Matter. Much website traffic comes through search engines such as Google and Yahoo. It is therefore essential that your website is ranked highly by search engines and so visible to potential customers.

What Is A High Ranking?

When a search engine is queried for particular keywords relating to products or services it will display a list of web addresses. The earlier your website is presented in the search results, or the higher it "ranks", the more searchers will visit your site. If your site is listed, but not within the first two to three pages, then most searchers won't even bother to look.

Which Search Engines:

Over 90% of search engine traffic will come from the top 10 search engines, no matter how many other search engines you submitted your website to. It is crucial that your website receives a good search engine ranking as this can bring many visitors.
