One of the most common misconceptions about business websites is that simply having one online is enough to attract new customers. In reality, standing out from competitors online and actually attracting new customers requires strategic marketing efforts like a content strategy. While utilizing content is far from being the only way to market online, there are several traits that make this approach especially appealing.
Over time, consumers have become increasingly aware of how to best search for information in their local communities, such as adding locations to their search queries. Due to online shopping behaviors changing, there is a competitive edge to work with a local Omaha SEO company such as our company (Big Red SEO).
It’s no secret that advertising and marketing expenses can dominate a significant portion of your operating budget, especially if you’re purchasing blocks of advertisements for TV or radio spots. Putting an ad in a local newspaper can run hundreds of dollars for just a few days of exposure, and that $500 you paid for ads in Yellow Pages or on the back of your local grocery store receipts is hard to track.
In the world of SEO and digital marketing, it is often said that content is king. You need to publish great content and have compelling on-page SEO via web copy to make your website stand out in the minds of both your existing and potential clients. Getting your business exposure in the search results requires strategy and consistency.

Plugins are what makes WordPress the most popular content management platform on the web, but they have a dark side — the dreaded Plugin Update! A task most website owners avoid. A task that, unless performed, can leave the door open to exploits, vulnerabilities, and hackers. Today, we dig in a little deeper into plugins, which ones you need and why they play an important role in website design and upkeep.
