  • Why You Should Blog About Your Business

    Blogging For Businesses In Kansas City

    Web Force KC helps small businesses in Kansas City and surrounding areas develop solid and consistent online marketing strategies that are results driven and effective. One of the main ways we help the businesses we partner with is by blogging on behalf of their business. We typically are not using the blog to make social commentary, rant & rave, or create a social buzz. In fact most of the time our blogging is a direct assault on keywords and sets of keywords that generate traffic to websites that can then convert into potential customers for the businesses we work for. There is much more to it than just dropping a ton of keywords onto a blog and blasting it out onto the internet and we thought we would share some of the things we at Web Force do in blogs for the businesses we work with.

    Using Effective Titles In Your Blog

    Whether your business is seasonal or not, there is always something you could talking about for your business online. Web Force KC researchesweb-design-search-engine-optimization-Kansas-City-Lees-Summit what keyword(s) or keyword phrases are the most relevant to your business online and then we find ways to incorporate them into blog titles, page titles, and content with the blogs. The trick is to not duplicate the content while still utilizing the target keywords and keyword phrases which can be difficult which is never easy. As targeted keyword campaigns become more successful and effective, Web Force KC will broaden the keyword spectrum to include other relevant keywords to the business that are an expansion to the keyword sets that are the foundation of the campaign.  Using primary target keywords in blog titles along with location based verbiage usually makes the for the most effective blog titles that yield the best traffic but the curtains need to match the drapes in the content, categories, tags, H1, H2 H3 etc.

    Web Force KC uses knowledge of web design, search engine optimization (including blogging) and a little sales savvy to help grow small businesses via online marketing.

  • Is Your Business Synonymous With Your Industry Online?

    Search Engine Optimization Marketing In Kansas City

    Take a moment and do a Google, Yahoo or Bing search for what your business does without using your business’ name. Does your business show up on the first, second or third page in the search results? How many pages of search results do you have to go through until you find your business online? If you cannot find your business by searching for what you do in your area then your online presence could use some help and chances are your potential customers are not able to find you either.

    Making Your Business Visible Online Organically With Search Engine Optimization (SEO) In Kansas City

    There are many ways to get your business or organization to show up in search engine results but at Web Force KC we believe that your website and blog content is king.  We are constantly pouring keyword rich, relevant information about your business and what you do and sell so that (when indexed by the search engines) your business has informational and industry relevant muscle.  We use the term “muscle” at Web Force KC because we rely heavily upon constantly creating content that makes sense to both your potential customers as well as the search engines. When combined with traffic from visitor to your site, your business begins to gain momentum and can then begin to broaden your service area based on how the search engines perceive the relevance and prominence of your business.  A large part of determining this comes from the amount of industry relevant information you have available in either the pages of your website or the contents of your blog and social media.

    Unfortunately, there is no way to build your online presence organically other than constantly creating content that is structured, industry relevant and consistently adding content which does take time and effort.  Web Force KC partners with business in Kansas City for search engine optimization services and web design to help drive traffic to business website so that business owners can grow their customer base.

  • 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.

  • 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.
