Advertise your site name on everything you have printed ie. business stationery, advertisements, brochures, leaflets, stand displays, vehicles, radio advertising etc. (see our graphic design page). If your business is of interest to someone, 9 times out of ten they will make a mental note of your web address and at their leisure investigate your site. They do not feel pressurised and if you get it right they will be contacting you!
Search Engines
Let them know you are there. Free web
submission or paid web submission?
Links
Google rates sites based on the popularity of links. The more incoming
links to your site, increases your chances of being higher. Thus link swapping
should be taken very seriously, spend sometime making a list of other sites
that would be good to be associated with. (ie. a guest house could link
to local tourist attractions). A lot of site owners will be happy to do
a link swap.
Some companies set up more than one site and then have them link to each
other.
You can check how many sites are linked to yours by typing link:www.yourdomain.co.uk
in google search engine.
Banner advertising on other peoples sites.
Directories are of benefit, but remember you will be grouped with other companies offering the same services. These you will normally pay for, however there are free ones about. Every site designed by Beauchamp Partnership has 6 months free entry in our sister company www.norfolkguide.com or our local, North Walsham Directory www.northwalshamguide.co.uk.
