Pages are static, evergreen content on your blog. This short video walks you through how to create an about-me page, or any other page you’d like to feature on your blog.
Categories and tags help to organize the content in your blog, and make it easier for people to navigate through to find what they’re looking for. In this short video, we’ll take a look at how to add and manage both.
Please note this tutorial “Creating a WordPress image gallery” is for the WordPress.com hosted solution. If you are running your own install of WordPress you may require additional plugins or custom development to your theme in order to deliver your new WordPress image gallery. There are a number of options available for this. Feel free to contact me today for a custom quote.
Google places integrates with Google Maps and allows people to easily find your products and services based on a geographic search term.
Any business can use Google Places and it is free! You don’t even need your own website.
Here’s a quick reference checklist:
See if your business is listed already by going to http://maps.google.com.au and typing in your business name e.g. “five by five gold coast”. If it is there you can verify it, if not you can create a new listing from scratch.
Enter in all your companies contact details including:
Company name
Email address
Physical address
Assign “categories” to your business. Ensure you use the “pre-defined” ones first and then add in any custom categories which may not exist.
Add in your trading hours.
Add in photos & videos. The key here is to use all the tools that Google provide to promote your business. Google places allows you to upload up to 10 photos and 5 videos. Fill out as much info as you possibly can!
Ensure you verify your listing. This allows Google to authenticate the information that you have provided.
Get as many customer reviews as you can. Google tends to put preference on businesses which are reviewed by other people this can be very beneficial to your business.
Add posts. Google loves content and adding in any info will be beneficial and keep the content fresh and relevant.
Local search is very powerful. This setup process shouldn’t take any more than 10-15 minutes and can pay great dividends!
Day in, day out your clients are using Google to find products and services to help solve their problems. If your site isn’t listed on the first page it is basically invisible and they will be doing business with your competition!
Gone are the days where having a website was enough be listed in Google. A website is worthless if no one is finding it.
Does your website appear when someone searches for your product or service in the geographic area? e.g. “accountant gold coast”, “tax return gold coast” or “financial advice gold coast”. This is how the average user of Google locates businesses and unless you aren’t on the first page of Google then you won’t be found!
The primary goals of a good search engine optimisation campaign are to do the following:
Drive highly targeted, new customers to your site
Use your website as a “pull” marketing tool i.e. customers seek you out
“Pre-sell” a customer through providing relevant content that “helps” them with their problem.
More Website Traffic = More Profits!

Your website needs to attract customers and keep them coming back for more. Below is a list of key points your website should have in order to boost your online presence and get returns on your investment.
Website Effectiveness
Does your website clearly state what it is about straight away.
Can you easily find the benefits of your services or products.
Is there a clear call to action.
Is your websites design, content and functionality inline with current professional websites and competing sites.
Traffic Generation
Website Analytics – are you keeping a close eye on your websites traffic and statistics.
SEO – Is your websites key search terms ranking well (on the first page) for Google other search engines?
Some of the main SEO tactics to rank well are:
Article Marketing – which can be content from your site distributed to free article hosting sites.
Video Marketing – Could your website better convey your message through online videos i.e. you talking about a product demo, a promotional campaign, or anything that highlights your company product/service.
List Building & Email Marketing
Are you building up a list of leads through your websites contact form or do you have a newsletter subscription field clearly displayed on all pages.
Can you offer lead generation incentives on your site e.g. free quotes, coupons, contests, discounts. This can also be used to expand your reach in email marketing campaigns to refer-to-friends.
Email marketing is a great, inexpensive way to reach the people on your list. If done correctly, this type of marketing will take your business to the next level and bring a great ROI for years to come. Send email newsletters, promotions and competitions. Keep them linking back to your website or advertise a new product or service.

All our client projects we deliver use a content management system called WordPress. We have been using WordPress for many years now and seen it evolve from what started out as a blogging tool to a full blown CMS.
Here are FIVE of the reasons why we love it so much:
1. WordPress is FREE: Used and contributed to by millions of bloggers from around the world. WordPress is being constantly updated, enhanced and evolved.
2. Super easy to install: WordPress allows you to install within minutes without having to be technically minded. There are many tutorials around and if you are running CPanel you can use Fantastico Deluxe’s awesome ONE click install.
3. Access to Themes: There are thousands and thousands of free themes available on the web ready to install and use. This changes the appearance of how your website “looks and feels”.
4. Plugins: A plugin is a way of “extending” or “enhancing” the core functionality or features of WordPress. We recently implemented an event registration plugin using a plugin called “Event Expresso”. Need to adjust a plug-in? Not a problem. With basic knowledge of PHP, you can modify and adjust these plug-ins to your liking with no fuss.
5. Very SEO friendly: Using a plugin called “All In One SEO” you can easily optimise each of your pages and posts so that it gives you the best possible chance to generate traffic through Google. This coupled with the ability to fully customise your URL’s makes this a very SEO friendly tool!
