Search Engine Marketing

Generate more traffic through your website!

Search Engine Optimization (or SEO) consists of a series of techniques used to improve your organizations website ranking in search engines like Google, Yahoo and MSN. Recent statistics show that more than 75% of Internet users use search engines to find services, products, and information. Unless your site ranks highly on the search engines, potential customers will go elsewhere.

Getting higher rankings in the search engines is not an accident. DuBose Web Group employs basic and advanced techniques that work for every client.

From Pay-Per-Click advertising to organic search engine results, DuBose Web Group is ready to help your organization increase traffic on your website by establishing a presence in the major search engines.

“Thank you for your work on our website over the last 12 months. Your prompt response to my requests for changes to the website allows me to stay focused on managing my small, but growing business. This focus allowed me to identify a niche market opportunity for Quarter 1 of 2008. You then optimized our position with the search engines to seize this opportunity and increase the unique hits to our site from 336 in Quarter 1 2007 to 1790 in Quarter 1 of 2008. As a result of this success, Search Engine Optimization by the DuBose Web Group is now a key component of our marketing budget.”

Quick Search Engine Optimization (SEO) Education

Natural or "Organic" Results: These results are completely non-biased — meaning that the search engine will not accept money to influence the rankings of individual sites. This is quite different than Pay-Per-Click ads that appear in "sponsored" or "featured" search engine results, in which higher positions are rewarded to companies willing to pay the most per visitor. High rankings in the organic area of search engines are achieved by effective site coding and SEO experience.


Pay-Per-Click (PPC): This method of marketing is an advertising model used mainly on search engines and content websites where customers only pay when a user clicks on an ad to visit the advertiser's website. Advertisers bid on keywords and phrases they predict their target market will use as search terms when they are looking for a product or service.
