  • How Important Are Your Reviews To Your Business Online?

    Online Reviews For Business In Kansas City

    Small business owners in Kansas City are now subject to very public reviews thanks in part to factors like Yelp.com, Google reviews, Bing.com and a myriad of other online review sites that can help and boost your business or bring the flow of online traffic to your site to a standstill. The issue that business owners in Kansas City have is that it is often difficult to get good reviews from customers.

    How Do You Get Real Online Reviews For Your Business From Your Customers?

    web-design-Kansas-City-online-marketing-Overland-Park-SEOThe answer is simple: ask your customers to write a review for your business. At Web Force KC, we partner with business and organizations in Kansas City not only for web design and online marketing, but also for online marketing education.  While we cannot control how your customers review your business, we can at least teach how to ask for and receive quality and effective reviews from your real customers.  As a business owner you must also keep in mind that not everyone you ask will write an online review for your business but you will probably never receive any reviews if you do not at least ask for them.  Here are some tips for online reviews for your business:

    1. Ask your customers to write an online review for your business.

    2. Tell your customers that if they are pleased with the products/services you provide to write a review for your business so that others that are looking for the same experience can find your business.

    3.  Check your business’ online reviews frequently. Often times we have found reviews that were used more as questions about the business/product/service that could be an opportunity for you to answer and acquire a new customer.

    4.  Respond to any and all reviews (even if they are bad). Potential customers reading your reviews can easily be won over by how your business responds to reviews.

    Blog and Web Content Writing For Small Business  Websites in Kansas City

    At Web Force KC, we are constantly blogging for the businesses we partner with for web design and online marketing.  One of the reasons we use blogging as an effective means of marketing and driving business is because of the freedom with content.  A websites pages need to be able to showcase ALL of a business’ products or services but, depending on the business, there are seasonal services or products that a company may want to focus on as opposed to all of their services. A benefit of focusing on seasonal services via blogging is that individual blog posts may actually be more relevant to the search engines and begin to show in search results as an entry point into your website. 

    Creating Blog Posts That Generate Business

    When we, at Web Force KC, begin writing a blog post on behalf of a business we are always making sure several factors are in sync:

    • What is the subject of the blog and what are the relevant keywords to use in the content? Typically we like to write content that has anywhere from 3-5% keyword density so that, when indexed by the search engines, there is no question what the blog is about and where it should show up in a search.
    • Are images appropriately named (and sometimes captioned with keywords).
    • Page titles, page descriptions and SEO keywords are created and applicable.
    • H1, H2, H3 etc titles are relevant to the paragraph content for blog and should often times contain the most sought after set of keywords as it pertains to the product or service.
    • The blog should also be appropriately tagged and contain appropriate categories as it pertains to the overall content of the blog.

    There are many more factors that Web Force KC implements into our blog and web content writing for the businesses and organizations we work with. The reason why we put so much effort into our blog and content writing for businesses is because we know that if we create other avenues for potential customers to enter into their websites, our customers will have a better opportunity as gaining new customers as well.

    Web Force KC is a full service online marketing company specializing in web design and online marketing for small businesses in Kansas City, Overland Park, Leawood, and the entire Kansas City area.

  • What Is Google Ingress and Can Businesses Benefit From It?

    google-ingress
    Google’s Ingress blurs the line between fantasy and reality using real-time in real-life GPS and real life monuments in your area.

    Google Ingress Could Bring New Customers To Local Businesses If They Only Knew It Existed

    In strange move Google recently released a mobile game called Ingress which is essentially a real life, real time “capture the flag” type game that is probably being played in your neighborhood right now.  Ingress is a GPS based game where players from 2 opposing teams try to capture portals that are leaking XM (or extreme matter) for their faction by deploying “resonators” at various monument probably with in walking distance of where you live. You can use your phone to access the Ingress app and navigate your way through the real world to capture portals for your team and attack enemy portals using an arsenal of weapons you acquire from “hacking portals” which is only possible by physically walking within about 40 meters of the monument.  The portals can be anything in the “real world” from churches, sculptures, bridges, paintings, pictures, or businesses.  Players may submit new portals but they are all subject to Google’s approval.

    Walking Distance Is the Whole Point Of Ingress, Maybe?

    While playing Ingress, one can’t help but realize that the whole point of the game may be to make you physically walk and appreciate objects, arts and places you may not normally visit and they are usually right in your backyard. Many times you will find that the “portal” is an object that “supports” the community around it, like a bridge in a physical sense and a church or graveyard in a spiritual sense. Either way, in order to play the game you have to get off of your couch and even get out of your car to see and play anything. What a great concept for a game!

    Ingress and Businesses

    Most portals are located on public property in Ingress because Ingress clearly is not interested in marketing being as though it is silently a global phenomenon. Although your humble blog writer was able to find a few portals in the Kansas City area that were located at or in businesses that could stand to benefit from Ingress.  Jack Stack Bar-B-Q and Red Robin in Overland Park, KS were, and continue to be, portals for players.  Both restaurants (if they knew players existed) could welcome in players as a meeting spot provided they eat or have a drink. In all aspects of marketing, everything counts and this type of marketing is no exception.

  • Start Blogging For Your Business!

    Your Business Blog Can Humanize Your Business

    Your business can use a blog for a variety of things in your online marketing arsenal but most of all your blog can help your business just show up in a search for products or services.  A well written,keyword strong, blog for your business can focus in on literally anything to do with your business.  A business blog does several things for several different audiences.

    Your Search Engine Audience

    Let’s face it.  Your website will never be seen by anyone online but you unless the search engines index your site and determine where you should show up in search results as it pertains to the keywords in the search.  The real trick for business owners that have multiple products or services is what to focus on.  The answer is quite simple: focus on what makes your business money right now.  Your blog posts are not expected to be literary masterpieces just extra insight (and keywords) into an aspect of your business.  If you blog enough and effectively, you may find that your business blogs about your product or service become an entry point from search engine results directly into your website. Web Force KC writes blogs everyday for our clients and some of the blog posts have proven to be wonderful conversion pages for new business.

    Your Potential Customer Audience

    As quickly as our society moves with technology, people still read. When they search for your business’ product(s) or service(s) they will make a decision to do business with who they believe is the most qualified for the best price. If your potential customers happen to enter into your website through your blog it is imperative that your knowledge of your industry gets flexed in a big way.  Why should they do business with you instead of your competitors? How easy is it to get into contact with you? How are your reviews? Are you a local business? Are your prices competitive? These are all things your customers may ask themselves (and your online presence) and if they cannot answer those questions with information available online about you, you may not get the new business.

    Web Force KC has worked with new businesses and more seasoned businesses to help increase website traffic through blogging, web design, search engine optimization and social media.  Web force KC would like to help your business as well.  Contact us today for a free evaluation of your small business online presence in Kansas City, Overland Park, Leawood, Olathe, Lees Summit and Prairie Village

  • Is Your Small Business Alive Online?

    Stop Looking For New Customers and Have Potential Customers Look For You

    If you are a small business owner and believe that your website exists merely to “legitimize your business” you are missing out on business. Your website can be your business’ main lead referral source for people and/or businesses that are looking for your product(s) or service(s) right now. The problem is that if you cannot be found in a set of search results you will never see any of that potential business.

    People use search engines like Google, Yahoo and Bing like they used to ask their neighbor questions like “who does your lawn?” or “who remodeled your bathroom?” They search for the most accessible (nearby, local, etc), best reviewed and whether anyone they are connected via social media is connected to your company.

    Social Media That Sits Is Lazy

    If you have a Facebook or Twitter page for your business why do you have it?  At Web Force KC, we understand that having an audience on your business social media is like having a group of people that have endorsed (or potentially need your product or service) and just need a little nudge. Doing nothing with social media for your business will always amount to nothing.  Doing something with your social media may produce more business than you realize. 

    If Your Website Is Not Optimized, It Is Probably Unseen

    Most small business owners in Kansas City, Overland Park and Leawood do not look at their business’ website everyday because they are too busy.  When they do have time to look at their website, it is difficult to put themselves in the position of their potential customers. At Web Force KC we look at the websites we develop for small businesses and organization from the standpoint of how the search engines will interpret the site AND how potential customers will navigate it.

    Web Force KC helps businesses SHOW where people GO when they don’t KNOW. People use search engines everyday and if your business does not show up, we can help you.

  • How Many Clicks Does It Take To Get What Your Customers Want From Your Website?

    How many clicks does it take to get people where and what they want on your website?

    When people visit your website, how many clicks does it take for them to get where they want and find what they want? The answer is sometimes different depending on how your website is structured.  To be more specific, your website’s menu must flow and be centered at one end goal.  The goal could be to email your business, call your business, sign up for alerts, purchase something, download something, or any combination of these scenarios. Can the casual searcher find what they need in 3 clicks or less? If not your website has a problem.

    Just like the video above when the owl bites into the tootsie pop, visitors to your website will “bite” by bouncing off of your site if they cannot find what they want as close to immediately as possible. Your website’s bounce rate helps you rank higher on the search engines when your bounce rate is low. A good bounce rate for a business website is usually around 40-60% in order to still be productive.  If you find that your business’ website has a higher bounce rate you need help.  As more traffic searches end up on your website and people are not ceasing their search on your website, it may begin losing its ranking and relevance as it pertains to that specific search.

    If your business website is having problems showing up on the search engines for what you would like it to, please get in touch with Web Force KC for a free consultation.

  • The Size Of Your Business Does Not Matter Online


    Regardless of your industry, having a website for your business allows potential customers to find you for the products and services you offer.  Websites for business are no longer just to “legitimize a business” like in the past but instead are powerful business tools that extend the reach of your business to anyone in need of what your business offers.

    When your business’ website is visible to anyone seeking a product or service that you offer, the playing field is suddenly leveled between you and your competitors big and small.  The smallest of companies can now acquire potential customers just as efficiently (and as often) as larger competitors through their website and visibility online locally.  By having a business website that appropriately showcases your product or services and having a visible online presence, your small business can compete locally with national competitors that, in previous times, would seem insurmountable.  Your business’ website can extend the reach of your business to potential customers you would probably never reach in person or with traditional forms of marketing.

    Web Force KC can help your small business in Kansas City be more visible to your potential customers online.  Whether your business is in need of a inexpensive yet effective web site or you just need more visitors to your current website, we can help. Web Force KC works with all budgets and does not market for competitors in your industry while you are working with us.
