Website Code

Adding website code to your site can accomplish many things for you. However, they might not always be the things you were hoping for!

As a website designer, I am taken back by how many clients ask for erroneous code to be placed on their site. I have had clients tell me how they randomly found it on the internet and want it added. They may have no idea what it does but wants it added, etc. Frankly, it is depressing and frustrating.

While good code can be amazing for your site… bad code is the polar opposite. So much so, that it can have a catastrophic impact on your website. If fact, bad code will keep search engines away from you. It can have a wildly negative impact on your ability to show up in searches on Google, Bing, Duck Duck Go, and the list goes on.

Furthermore, often code found on the internet can be contaminated and allow hackers access to your website. Thus, creating even more issues for you and your website.

So why do so many jump at the chance to add code to their site that they don’t have real knowledge about? It is the never ending desire to rank higher.

Many website owners are constantly looking for ways to improve their search engine rankings. They want to drive more traffic to their site. They may see adding code as a quick and easy solution. Hopefully, to boost their SEO efforts. However, without fully understanding the potential consequences, it is dangerous.

However, it is important to remember that search engines like Google value quality content and user experience above all else. Adding random or unnecessary website code to your site can actually harm your SEO in the long run by making your site slower, less user-friendly, and potentially triggering penalties from search engines.

Instead of focusing on quick fixes or shortcuts, it is important to prioritize creating high-quality, relevant content that provides value to your audience. This will not only improve your SEO over time but also help you build a strong and sustainable online presence.

If you would like assistance with your website, don’t hesitate to contact me. I look forward to helping you!

Website Manager

Are you in the market for a Website Manager? Look no further, I can help you with that!

A Website Manager is an excellent option for those that already have a website. As a manager, I assist clients with updates and tweaks to their site. Many web companies will have you believe that each time you change companies, you need to build a new website. That simply isn’t true. If you have a website that is working well for you and drawing you traffic, maybe you just need a manager.

One of the benefits of having Laura Gunn Marketing as your manager is that you only pay when you are having work done. This is a completely different model than most companies use. Most website companies charge you a monthly fee whether they are actually doing anything or not. It is the standard model and frankly it costs you far more than it should. Why should you pay a company when they aren’t doing anything for you?

Truth is, most updates are quick and easy. Paying $300, $500, and more per month just for your site to exist is a waste of your money. Don’t do it!

Give me a call and let’s talk about your needs and goals. My experience and methods of working will help you achieve your goals and save you money. Contact me, today!

Google Monopoly

The Google Monopoly – On August 5th, 2024, Judge Amit Mehta deemed that Google has been acting as a monopoly when it comes to SEO.

If you have contacted me about SEO and specifically running ads on Google, you know that I have been stating this for ages. Frankly, it is about time someone has done something about it. In fact, 35 US states chimed in stating that it is time for this monopoly to end. Judge Mehta pointed out that it is a violation of the Sherman Act. And it is a huge win for anyone trying to make a dent in the world of SEO. Specifically on Google.

This ruling comes as a relief to many in the SEO industry. Many who have long felt frustrated by Google’s dominance and control over search results. With this decision, it is hoped that competition in the SEO market will increase. Thus, allowing for a more level playing field for businesses of all sizes.

Google’s monopoly power has had a significant impact on many businesses. Particularly, with smaller companies struggling to compete against larger corporations. Larger entities can afford to pay for top placement in search results. This decision signals a shift towards greater fairness and competition in the digital marketplace.

There is no doubt that Google will appeal this ruling. However, it will be interesting to see what changes they may be forced to make, in order to comply with antitrust laws. But for now, many in the SEO industry are celebrating this landmark decision. It is a step in the right direction towards a more equitable and competitive online landscape.

We are a long way from a win, but it is a start. Google endless pockets ensures this road won’t be short. However, it is a starting place. Especially for small business owners. For now, I hope you will join me in raising a glass to Judge Mehta for the ruling and to the 35 states that lead the charge. There is indeed hope on the SEO horizon.

Electronic Press Kits

Electronic Press Kits – What are they and who needs one?

An Electronic Press Kit (EPK) is a comprehensive digital package that includes promotional materials about a person, company, or event. However, in most cases EPKs are associated and most used for musicians and bands. It typically consists of a collection of digital files such as press releases, bios, photos, videos, music, and contact information. EPKs are used to provide information to music and media professionals. Additionally, they are used for industry influencers, and potential collaborators, making it an essential tool for gaining visibility.

Here are a few reasons why you should have an electronic press kit:

1. Easy access and distribution: As EPKs are digital, they can be easily accessed and distributed to various recipients. Whether it’s sending it via email, sharing a download link, or hosting it on a website, EPKs allow quick and convenient dissemination of your materials, ultimately saving time and effort.

2. Professionalism and credibility: Having a well-designed EPK adds a sense of professionalism and credibility to your image. It showcases your materials in a cohesive and organized manner, making it easier to understand your story and potential value. A professional-looking EPK can help you stand out from competitors and make a positive impression.

EPKs Do Much More

3. Efficient media coverage: Media professionals receive numerous press releases and promotional materials daily. By providing an EPK, you make it easier for journalists, venues, bloggers, and industry influencers to access essential information, enabling them to quickly assess your relevance and make informed decisions about you.

4. Showcasing your best assets: An EPK allows you to curate and present your best assets. Whether it’s high-quality photos, demo tracks, engaging videos, or compelling bios. By including these elements, you can effectively showcase your talents, products, or services, giving media professionals a clear picture of what you have to offer.

5. Time saving: Instead of responding to multiple individual requests for information, an EPK provides a one-stop solution to access all the necessary information they may need. Share consistent and accurate information and save time. Thus, reducing the chances of miscommunication or missed opportunities.

6. Increased visibility and networking opportunities: Immediately increase your visibility with a readily available EPK. Notice by media professionals, influencers, or potential collaborators who may come across your materials is key. It facilitates networking opportunities and increases your visibility across different platforms, potentially leading to beneficial partnerships or coverage.

Lastly, an electronic press kit offers a convenient and effective way to promote yourself, your band, your company, or your event. It saves time, enhances your credibility, and increases your chances of gaining media coverage and networking opportunities. Whether you’re a musician, actor, entrepreneur, or organization, having an EPK is essential in today’s digital landscape.

WordPress Website

A WordPress website is one of the best formats available in the website arena. WordPress is a popular content management system (CMS) that allows the creation and management of websites, easily. With WordPress, you can create a wide variety of website styles, including blogs, e-commerce stores, portfolios, business websites, and much more.

To create a WordPress website, you’ll first need a domain name and web hosting. Many web hosts offer one-click WordPress installation to make the process even easier. Once you have WordPress installed, you can choose from thousands of free and premium themes to give your website a unique look and feel. To a novice web designer, it can be overwhelming. While advanced designers welcome the variety we can offer our clients.

Website Options

WordPress also has a vast library of plugins that allow you to add functionality to your website. Whether you want to add a contact form, social sharing buttons, or an e-commerce store, there’s a plugin available to help you achieve it. This is why I encourage my clients to discuss their needs with me. The better I understand what will help your website function better for you, the sooner I can implement what you need.

The WordPress dashboard provides an intuitive interface for managing website’s content. You can easily create and edit pages, write blog posts, upload media, and manage comments. While I toss around the word “easily”, it takes practice to properly manage a WordPress website. Improperly managed sites often are the victim of hackers and this can be fatal for any website.

Built-in SEO

The platform also has built-in SEO (search engine optimization) features to help your website rank higher in search engine results. This is one of the main reasons I prefer working on WordPress websites over any other platform. Proper SEO is crucial for a website to show in search engines like Google. Improper SEO techniques can have adverse effects to a website. That is why working with a proven professional web designer is key.

WordPress is not just a website builder, but a comprehensive platform that caters to the needs of a wide range of users and designers. Whether you are a beginner looking to create a simple blog or a professional developer looking to build complex websites, WordPress has got you covered. Its interface makes it accessible to quickly set up a website.

However, what sets WordPress apart is its advanced customization options. Developers and designers can dig into the platform’s codebase to modify and extend its functionalities to meet the specific requirements of any project. With a vast array of plugins and themes available in the WordPress ecosystem, developers can effortlessly enhance the functionality and appearance of their websites. From creating custom post types and taxonomies to integrating third-party APIs, the possibilities are endless with WordPress.

Website Scalability

Additionally, WordPress offers unparalleled scalability, allowing your website to grow along with your business. Whether you start with a small blog or a simple business website, you can easily expand and add new features as your needs evolve. With its robust and constantly updated core, WordPress ensures that your site remains secure and optimized for performance.

In conclusion, regardless of the complexity of your project, WordPress provides a powerful and flexible platform to create websites of all types. Its vast features make it a favorite choice for designers, while the advanced customization options and scalability attract professionals. With its constant evolution, WordPress continues to be the go-to solution for individuals and businesses looking to establish a solid online presence.

Do IG Reels Equal Sales?

IG Reels aka Instagram Reels have emerged as a powerful tool for businesses. I allows companies to enhance their sales and reach a wider audience. With its short, captivating videos, Reels provide a unique opportunity for businesses to showcase their products or services. What captivates the audience is doing it in a creative and entertaining manner. By capitalizing on the increasing popularity of video content on social media platforms, IG Reels have proven to be an effective marketing tool for driving growth and boosting sales.

Increased Engagement

Instagram Reels have the potential to garner higher levels of engagement compared to other forms of content. The short and visually appealing nature of Reels captures the attention of viewers, compelling them to stop scrolling and engage with the content. By creating compelling and informative Reels, businesses can attract a larger audience. Thus, generating increased interest in their products or services.

Showcasing Product Features

One effective strategy to boost sales using Instagram Reels is to showcase the unique features and functionalities of your products or services. Utilize Reels to highlight the key aspects that set your offering apart from competitors. By visually demonstrating the benefits and advantages of your products, you can effectively engage potential customers and encourage them to make a purchase.

Behind-the-Scenes Content

Instagram Reels provides a perfect platform for offering glimpses of behind-the-scenes operations. Share videos showcasing the production processes, team collaborations, or day-to-day activities that demonstrate the authenticity and transparency of your business. By providing an exclusive look into your business, you can build trust and establish a stronger connection with your audience, ultimately leading to increased sales.

User-Generated Content

Additionally, encourage your followers and customers to create their own Reels featuring your products or services. User-generated content not only increases engagement but also builds a sense of authenticity and trust around your brand. Reposting and sharing user-generated Reels on your business profile can create a sense of community and serve as social proof, effectively driving sales.

CTAs and Offers

Don’t underestimate the power of a well-placed call-to-action (CTA) or exclusive offer in your Instagram Reels. Use Reels to direct viewers to your website, online store, or landing page. Then they can explore your products or take advantage of special discounts or promotions. CTAs and offers create a sense of urgency and motivate viewers to take immediate action, resulting in increased sales.

Furthermore, Storytelling and Emotion is key. Instagram Reels offer a unique opportunity to tell compelling stories and evoke emotion in a short span of time. By creating Reels that resonate with your target audience on an emotional level, you can forge a deeper connection. This often inspires them to become loyal customers. Craft narratives that highlight the values, mission, or purpose of your business to create a memorable and impactful experience for viewers.

Product Tutorials and How-To Guides are great! Utilize Instagram Reels to showcase product tutorials and how-to guides. Demonstrate the practical use of your products or provide step-by-step instructions on how to achieve certain outcomes. Offering helpful and informative content positions you as a trusted authority in your industry. This increases the likelihood of converting viewers into customers.

Collaborative Reels

Engage with your audience by creating collaborative Reels that encourage participation and interaction. For example, you can create a Reel featuring user-submitted content or challenges related to your products. By involving your audience in the content creation process, you foster a sense of community and generate excitement around your brand, leading to increased sales.

Lastly, Instagram Reels present a powerful opportunity for businesses to boost sales and drive business growth. By leveraging the distinctive features and capabilities of this platform, businesses can engage with their audience in a creative and entertaining way.

By consistently providing quality content that meets the needs of your target audience, promoting your blog effectively, and optimizing it for search engines, you can increase visibility, attract more traffic, and ultimately drive sales for your business.
