Why we are a better Web design and Internet Marketing Company

Easy Websites is the name of our web design and internet marketing company and we have been in business for the last 4 years in the Cayman Islands.

Not just Web Development
After our first year of business, we started integrating search engine friendliness into the development process of the websites we created.  The results speak for themselves.  As soon as we launched a website with a fairly decent domain age, it would appear on the first page of their keyword.

A prime example is the Wharf's website.  When we took over this website, it was invisible on google for its major keywords and was only appearing for searches for "the Wharf Cayman" - within a month of launch it started on the bottom of the page and has now inched a mid level result on the first page.   This website now appears on the first page of both "cayman restaurant" and "cayman restaurants" - two keywords that net over 4,000 searches per month. It also appears on the first page of 'grand cayman restaurants" - keywords that their users search for when looking for their business.

Another example is when we launched the Blackbeards.ky website.  Not having a major keyword that users where searching for, I decided to let it show up for "cayman wines" the most relevant keyword for its target market.  It is now on the first page for this keyword and I believe it is on the top three rank.  Again, no optimization contract, just search engine friendliness integrated into the web development procedure.  How effective was our decision to decide on this keyword?  Well, the Marketing Manager of Blackbeards informed me that they had tourists who told the cashier that they found the company online.

Not just SEO
Is it enough to be found online?  No.  We don't stop at Optimization. Your website needs to conform to the scrutiny of your online users. What is the point of being found online if your users are not using your website?  Usability is a strict adherence to scientific data about how Users behave online.  All our web design projects have been coursed through a usability guideline that enables each and every one to have a low bounce rate, a high click through rate and a high level of engagement.  Here are the definitions of each:

Bounce Rate - when a user enters your a page within your website (usually the homepage) and then exits on the same page without clicking through to another page.  A high bounce rate usually means that the page is not user friendly.

Click-through-Rate (CTR) - when a users enters a page within a website (usually the homepage) and then clicks through to another page.  A high CTR usually means the web page is effective.

Level of Engagement - when a user clicks on a web page and either clicks to contact or reserve.  An engagement is when a page element is enough to get the user to click on it.

Not just a Website
When web usability is integrated into the web development process you create not just a website but an online business tool that is going to help your business succeed.  Your website should be able to answer all your users questions even if they are surfing your website at 11pm at night.  In that way your website is able to bridge the gap between buying decisions.

Cayman SEO: Update on Changing to neutral Top Level Domains (TLD)

Just a very quick update on TLD's that address the geo targeting tool that Google released, or is it unleashed.  One of our internal website www.cayman4rent.ky already had a page rank of 3 and was very visible for online searches for most rental keywords in the Cayman Islands and it its domain age was not even 1 year old.  When google inserted the fixed geo-targeting location on Web Master Tools it was a wake up call of sorts. I quickly read up on what this could possible mean to the .ky and realized very quickly that Google was going to remove the .ky from its US data centres.  I wrote a blog regarding TLDs back in February and you can read it here .  On that blog I showed the fact that www.cayman4rent.ky was showing up for major keywords such as "grand cayman rentals" in the Cayman Islands but it was not showing up for the same keyword in the United States.  I was crushed really because it mean that I would have to give it a neutral TLD such as a .com for it...

Cayman SEO NEWS: Unethical SEO practices by NETCLUES!

I am a very passionate person when it comes to work and sure, most of the time I don't have time to moderate comments on my blog. Not that there is alot of them mind you, but because I know some people are trying to ride on the link popularity of my blog caymanseo.blogspot.com, which has a pagerank of 4/10 - and because I know how difficult breaks can be - I don't mind and sometimes approve them. What I do mind is when a competing company does it. So my blog is decidedly no. 1 for most if not all the keywords relating to SEO and/or Internet Marketing in the Cayman Islands. Of course it is - I have applied alot of what I know about optimization to my blog. So it really makes me so angry that a competing company would even dare post a link back to their blog hoping to ride on my coat-tails. You should have made a comment at the very least and maybe I would have let it pass but to blatantly put a link back... thats just plain LAZY. Its embarrasing really. I would hate ...
