FAQs

Here’s answers to the most commonly asked questions we get.

What is digital marketing?

Digital marketing is the use of digital channels like search engines, websites and other applications to connect with potential customers. To do it well, you need to understand your target demographic. You’ll need to understand how they are searching for your business, or services and use this information to help find the best approach. 

What is SEO?

SEO is a process that improves your website’s Google Ranking. The better your Google Ranking the higher in search results your website will show for search terms you are targeting.

This process includes work done to your website as well as other work we do to improve your ranking.

Is it important to keep my website software and plugins updated?

Yes, it is important. Websites that are not kept updated, leave themselves vulnerable to hackers. Unfortunately this happens regularly, so make sure your platform and plugins are updated.

If I have a website and it needs updating what is the process?

Updating your website is personal and we take the time to discuss with you what you want. We can develop different solutions to achieve your desired outcome within your budget.

I'm thinking of using Google Ads. Should I talk to Google direct or use someone like you to set it up and manage it?

Some people setup a Google Ads express campaign after talking to the google support line. For some businesses this might work, however, to be able to use the full functionality and tailor a properly structured campaign, it’s probably best to use an agency like us. We actively manage everything for you, provide reports and someone you can talk to.

What is a Google Business Profile and is it important?

Your Google Business Profile is a great way to show up on Google Maps and Search results when people are searching for businesses like yours. It has lots of different features and if setup and consistently maintained can help you stand out from the competition.

Should I do both Google Ads and SEO?

Google Ads and SEO have their advantages. Ideally, if you have the budget you could benefit from both. Google Ads (or PPC Pay Per Click) is good to show up on the front page of Google in a very short period of time. SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) is a longer term strategy done in phases. With SEO you need to allow 6-12 months to gain traction.

How much do you charge to build a website?

This depends on the complexity of your website. Are you selling products and want a shopping site?  Are you a service provider who is looking for customers to call?  Do you offer a lot of products or services or just a few?  We take all this and more into consideration when we quote a price.  We can have a quick chat and give you an idea of how much YOUR website will cost to build.
