Encompass Web Systems has search-friendly tools built into our content management system. As you create pages within your site, you have the ability to add optimized page titles, page descriptions, and key words. This helps your site to be more "sticky" during site indexing.
In addition to giving our users control over their own "meta data" (the words and phrases that search engines use to index and categorize site pages), Encompass also offers automated site submission programs. The cost for this service begins at $20 per month, and insures that your site will be submitted regularly to the engines.
Content is king. Be sure the descriptive text you use on each page uses a lot of the language that you anticipate being used by prospects in searches. Relevant data is more important than ever in how search engines index and rank pages.
Inbound and outbound links matter. The more sites you have pointing to your site, the better you'll do in search engines. To a lesser degree, sites you connect to can help.
Add search data to your site pages. The Encompass site enables you to control your own page titles, optimized descriptions, and key words. This is important for your overall "stickiness" in with the engines.
Give it time. Search engines do their own thing, and it's not realistic to think you achieve first-page listing in a brief period of time. Sometimes it takes weeks - even months - to climb in your page rankings.
Pay-per-click can help. Google AdWords, Overture and other such services allow you to pay for search return rankings. This can be a good way to jump start your search interests.
Please note that Encompass does not make outlandish claims guaranteeing top-three listings. We do have affiliate partners in search engine optimization and submission whose primary business is search engine specializations. While our sites generally do well, as they are built to be search-friendly, your web presence may require unique attention to achieve the rankings you desire.
