Online Marketing

Online Marketing helps your website rank higher in search engines by providing backlinks to your website, which tells Google Search that your website is popular.

Online Marketing and Backlinks

Just publishing a website is not enough, as the website needs to be promoted in order to rank well in search engines. At T. Brooks Web Design I promote your website through my Online Marketing service (which I also call Online Promotion or Online Listings).

My online marketing service involves adding your company information to high-ranking, popular business listing websites and directories, such as Google My Business, Bing Local, Manta, etc. When search engines like Google see that reputable websites are linking back to your website (called "backlinks"), they assume that your website is popular as well, and will tend to rank your website higher.

Better Online Marketing with T. Brooks Web Design

There are many companies out there that provide online marketing services, although they often give this service more creative names, such as "Local Search Marketing". However, I do things a lot differently than almost all of these other online marketing firms:

• My fees are waaaay less than the outrageous fees that most other online marketing firms charge.
• I submit all of your listings manually, by hand. Most online marketing firms use an automated process that globally sends out your information to directories, which almost always results in errors. If you're wondering why your roofing company is listed all over the internet under "pizza restaurants", that may be why.
• I put your company information on only the most reputable, trustworthy, popular online listing websites. Many online marketing firms brag that they'll add you to 100 or even 1,000 directories, so they can justify their exorbitant fees. But with online promotion, more isn't necessarily better, and can actually work to your disadvantage. There are only 20 or 30 high-ranking directories that Google tends to like. Adding your information to questionable, obscure directories violates Google Search's guidelines and can get your website blacklisted! The official Google Search Central Link Schemes article specifically warns against "low-quality directory" links.

T. Brooks Web Design Business Profile Pages

In addition to external online listing sites, I also offer inclusion on my "Featured Clients" and Business Profile Pages on this website. Links that appear on websites like this one that have been established for many years and get a lot of traffic carry more weight with search engines. So when I add a Business Profile Page for your company on this website, the backlink can help your regular website rank higher in Google. And if you don't have or want a website, your Business Profile Page can serve as a one-page website! Business Profile Pages are fully search optimized, fast loading, and include JSON Schema markup.

Take a look at my Featured Clients page, which links to each of my featured clients' Business Profile Pages.
