Mobile Friendly Website ALERT to ALL Businesses In Sonoma, San Francisco Bay Area & Sacramento to San Diego

WHY...?  Google just announced their April 21, 2015 Algorithms Change.  
There are several reasons GOOGLE is dumping your website off the searches
 if it is not compliant with their newest algorithm changes regarding Mobile Friendly Websites.
Rush - do not walk.... to gain search engine visibility on Google with your MOBILE website.
         
  1. More than HALF of Google's traffic is from mobile...... smart phones and mobile devices.
  2. 80% of websites nationally - have no mobile access and will disappear in the searches - leaving only a few with Google compliant mobile access, or possibly an AD-words account.
  3. Their algorithms are changing to give visibility.. only to those websites WITH mobile phone addresses that are are compliant with their guidelines and demands by April 21, 2015... 
  4. What are the terms of their Mobile website compliance?  These are just a few....

  • large type in the front mobile phone directional
  •  leading to easy to read pages on your website, 
  • space between links to tap a link open and large type... so you do not have to zoom it up
  • regular things; link back links tested, site map
  • load time must be fast, videos that work, flash  and java rules
    5.  They will ding your website with a "not mobile friendly" sign, and/or drop you off the searches if you do not have a mobile friendly website.  Even if you presently have a mobile website, it may not be compliant to Google's rules.  Even your blogs will go by by.

Again....This is a SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON SMALL BUSINESS pushing many to buy AD words and drop out the the searches.  You can "read all about it" on The Google Webmaster Blog

What Type of Guarantee To Expect From A SEO Marketing Expert

 (Wondering why you are seeing my blog regarding SEO on the first page of Google - (see below.)
That can be a loaded question & a roll of the dice if you are not careful ... 
With JR's Marketing Solutions e-Newsletter I would like to outline a few things to consider before you invest  in an SEO expert, or throw your arms up in the air and say " Ohhhhhh, I'll just do Google AD words.

What We Are Dealing With Regarding Search Engines:
Just submitting your website to the search engines does not get you to first page. It takes and average of 2 to 5 years for it to cycle up - and that is only if your website has no malware or viruses, is built correctly, has a site map and is submitted properly to the search engines. It is a known fact people search the web resources daily and Google claims in a month 11.944 billion searches are completed by 1.17 billion persons.  So for people to find you, it is vital to find a method to gain that first page visibility for your webpage and your mobile webpage.
  • Hundreds of websites are being added daily to Google. 
  • Why Google - Because they receive 67% of the searches with the rest in much smaller increments on other search engine systems - such as Bing and Yahoo.
  • Google enjoys 87% of the Mobile searches.
  • We are all beginning to realize the Google AD words are not a bargain! Bidding on large city key words and heavy searched words is becoming a war....whereby you still can show up on the 3rd page or temporary as your daily funding runs out.  
So Is It Better To Hire an SEO Expert and WHAT should I be looking for?
Yes, larger businesses do this as the strongest part of their marketing outline. New businesses will jump start their business income and seasonal businesses create SEO programs specific to their important months.
Look for ...
  • A service with marketing longevity - 5 or more years
  • Affordable for your budget and the need for new business in your specific area
  • A guarantee that gives you first or second page presence withing a specific time - or your money back
  • A company that continues over the year to enter your data - so you keep a competitive edge
  • A monthly payment system may be important to you
  • A service that continually contacts you with updates on your progress
What Is It - That SEO Cannot Do For You? SEO-Search Engine Optimization)
  1. As with all marketing - no one can guarantee the web searcher will buy from you or use your service, yet we have strong statistics that web searches often call and purchase from the first and second page
  2. Not all SEO expert services will place you in a variety of search engines
  3. Not all SEO experts services will advise on other types of Business Marketing Solutions
  4. A SEO business that will advise on improvements of your web page and requirements/demands by Google.
JR does number 3 & 4 on the list above - giving you a bonus of time regarding your business.
How Do I Make This Happen For MY Website? Go to JR's SEO Service Outline

There are some things you have to do to complete this properly.
1. No virus or malware contamination on your website
2. Fill out a simple form that provides the seo expert with the TITLE of your website, the key-search-words and the cities or areas where you want to market your business.
3. Realize your webpage must have a call to action with your phone number - e-mail easily visible
4. A good reason to call you or sign-up from your home page.

If you haven't noticed the major magazines, newspapers and periodicals are moving toward e-magazine and e-book publishing visibility.  So why would this be important to someone wanting to market a wedding business, a unique product, service, and local or destination travel business? Read the Stats Below.

In a nut-shell......... DIRECT Link Visibility.  

YES, use of the smart phone, magazines, APPS capability, I-Pads and our amazing lap tops have moved us in to this Digital Marketing Realm Quickly.  Marketing often evolves over a hundred years or more, but this has happened to us in just TEN years.  

As the magazine user clicks through the pages, enjoys the photos and reads the content, you will find each advertiser is given a solid LINK to their website - right from the AD page.   No moving the prospect from a print ad to their pc.  It is a direct link.

The statistics are staggering on the growth rate and USE  of the digital magazines.

PWC.com Reports:
Globally, total magazine revenue will resume growth in 2015. In 2015, the magazine publishing industry will reverse years of decline to record 0.2% year-on-year growth as overall digital gains outweigh falling print revenue. In 2018, total magazine revenue will reach US$98.1bn, up from US$97.1bn in 2013. (bn is billion).

While digital consumer magazine circulation revenue will see the fastest growth... Global digital consumer magazine circulation revenue will rise at a 31.2% CAGR, reaching US$5.7bn in 2018. As companies see more success in turning digital magazine consumption from free-of-charge websites to paid-for digital editions, digital will move from accounting for 4% of total consumer magazine circulation revenue in 2013 to 14% in 2018.

...Digital consumer magazine advertising revenue is much larger. Global digital consumer magazine advertising revenue will be US$12.4bn in 2018, rising at a 17.6% CAGR. This compares to a decline of -3.9% CAGR for consumer magazine print advertising revenue. Currently advertising is centred on magazine websites, but, as digital circulations increase, electronic editions will become increasingly popular for advertisers.
