Tacoma graphic design, marketing & SEO

Allow me to introduce my self. My name is Erik Soderquist, and I have decided to tip my hat into the ring of Tacoma based design, marketing, and SEO company’s in the area. Located on the 9th Floor of The Washington Building I’ve situated my self in the heart of downtown Tacoma to be more accessible and convenient to meet with. Although my company is new I have many years of experience in the design field. I have operated over the past 5 years as a freelancer and during that time I’ve had the chance to work with many local company’s. I also was born here in 1984 at Tacoma General. I’ve lived here my whole life and love what this city has to offer. I’ve watched this city change over the years for the better and really grow into a great place to live. I’m proud of my roots and that is why I’ve decided to stay and start this business here.

Some things to improve your company’s ranking

There are a lot of great local business’s in Tacoma, and one thing is certain. When you are focusing on opening a business there are a lot of things that need to be taken care of. One of the most important things that business’s tend to over look, or don’t do a careful enough job of is setting up their online presence. Google recently released a report that said over 30% of it’s search traffic is organic search for local business. What that means is that people are looking for what they need online. There are strategic ways to take advantage of all that Google search traffic. The most import steps are setting up a functional search friendly website. Your website should be user friendly, easy to navigate and should contain some high quality photography. Most people are visual, and would rather see nice pictures then read lumps of huge text. You website design should be easy to use and understand. You want to be creative but don’t stray to far from the normal guidelines of website design.

Taking advantage of local business listings is also critical. Some times there will already be a listing for you business started by a single reviewer. You can claim these listings by providing proof of business ownership and then take over control of the listing. Services such as Yelp, Yellow Book, Super pages, Four square, & Google Places are all essential tools to utilize for your business. It’s important to build up a collection of good reviews. No faking reviews will not cut it. It is essential to communicate with your customers and get actual good reviews.

Facebook, Twitter, & Google +. These are all important parts of any business. The way people communicate is changing, and its important to stay connected with the new technology. All of these networks provide an outlet for company’s to reach existing customers and new customers exponentially. Facebook ad’s are a great way to increase your company’s potential market and educate new customers of your services.

Gauge your online relevance with analytics tracking & reporting. It’s important to track your traffic. You want to know where it’s coming from and what it’s doing. Especially if you are paying for ppc(pay per click) ads. You need to know what ad services are working and which ones are not performing as they should be so you can cut wasted ad revenue.
