SEO

As a Creative Marketing Agency, we work on all kinds of projects, and they come to us at a lot of different stages. One of the most common issues we see is when IT projects come to us almost complete but have not implemented a basic Search Engine Optimization (SEO) setup.

We then have to go back, usually for an additional cost – thousands of dollars – and set up things like meta-tags, alt tags, correct page titles, keyword enriched URLs and, importantly, website architecture. Such a misstep can break the back of a startup or a young company, and it’s tragic to see – especially for something you can do right the first time.

Marketing is all about making a positive impact on the people you come into contact with. Although many business owners may not realize it, marketing is present in all stages of a business, from beginning to end. It’s not about pressing people to buy, buy, buy or forcing them into doing something they don’t want to do. It’s about finding out how to make a person’s life better and fulfilling that needs – whatever they may be. A good marketer cuts through the noise to create something truly unique and memorable.

Great marketing campaigns go deep into our collective conscious. They become a part of all of us. We reference them with our friends over coffee, we hum them as we’re on the bus, and recognize them even years after they have stopped running.

The best advertising humanizes us. They show us at our most vulnerable and show us at our very best. They are more than trying to persuade you to do something. They make you feel a spectrum of emotions.

Since we believe in great marketing and advertising, we have put together some of Vancouver and Canada’s very best marketing campaigns. We believe these campaigns go above and beyond the typical, the day-to-day bland advertising and transcend into something timeless.

Unless you are a professional marketer, it can be hard to know where to spend your marketing dollars. You have to rely on a marketing expert to guide you, but how do you know if what they are selling is snakes oil or not. The reality is that many marketers sell businesses services you don’t need or aren’t effective.

Of course, with marketing, not all of your money will see a positive ROI – that’s just the nature of the business. Think of your marketing budget a bit like the stock market. Put 80% into mutual funds that will see results in the long run but use 20% to experiment and put into riskier propositions. You might lose that 20%, but you also might hit it big. Any marketer who guarantees you immediate results is overselling themselves.

We’ve put together a list of things you should be wary of, and if a marketer tries to sell you on one or more of these services, you need to be armed with the right questions to ask them.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is an ongoing task for all businesses; however, most people miss that SEO strategy can be different for dynamic or CMS-driven sites than static websites. Dynamic websites use templates pulling content from a database, whereas every page exists as a file on a server on static websites. This CMS-driven strategy offers different challenges for SEO experts.

Here are five tips to improve your SEO approach to CMS-driven websites:
