Custom website designs are available, with a YouTube Video included, plus FULL SEO.  Youtube Marketing is a vital part of your Business Plan these days, for a couple of reasons.  First, Google owns Youtube – so having a Youtube video on your site is never going to hurt your Google Ranking.  Secondly, a Youtube will rank not only on Youtube but also in Google itself.  In fact, sometimes our Youtube videos appear higher than our website itself!  Finally, given the chance of clicking through to a video or reading through a website – which would you choose?

TRANSCRIPT OF VIDEO 1 ABOVE:

Hi, this is Terry Fisher coming to you from Australia’s beautiful Gold Coast.

Today we’re going to show you how a small business website can dramatically improve your profits and is extremely affordable and easy to use.

As well as getting a website, you really need to have a website that’s ranked in the top 30 results of Google.  If it isn’t in the top 30 Google results, it just isn’t going to work – but there are certain elements that you need to add to that these days to get an integrated marketing plan.

We suggest that you add a YouTube video, you add some article marketing, and, for some products, social media like Facebook and MySpace (now old hat – use Twitter)  is also important.

The days when that cost a thousand dollars, up to ten thousand dollars, they are gone.  These days you can build a website for under a thousand dollars ($495 to $995, depending on what you want), get a YouTube video, get an article, get a little bit of social media marketing – and when you integrate all those things together into your marketing plan the bottom line of your small business will improve dramatically.

So let’s show you exactly how we would do that.  This is Terry Fisher of www.businesswebsitesgoldcoast.com and in the next video, we’ll look at the foundation and the structure for building your website.

Gold Coast Business Websites – Managing Your Website;  Video 4 of 4.

Ask your website designer about managing your website,BEFORE the website gets built.  WordPress websites are simple enough to manage; if you can use MS Word, then you can update your own blog / website.  However, the website design industry has a vested interest in you having to pay for simple updates you could do yourself.

We build small business websites for clients worldwide, but Australian web design accounts for most of our small business web design work.  Either way, we provide customer support and training to help you do the basics to save you money.

In this fourth small business website video, one of my clients actually demonstrates updating a website himself – quick, simple, easy.  We can do your website updates for you, but many clients prefer saving the money.

We design our Gold Coast Business Websites from the ground up to be user-friendly, so that you can handle changes easily yourself.  This might be as simple as changing a phone number, to adding a new product or service.  Many Gold Coast web design companies charge up to $85 per hour for site changes, and it is usually in the small print – so check this out BEFORE you sign up.  Training can be one hour of one-on-one personal training at my office or over the phone, usually by Skype.  Knowing how to make small changes is very helpful if business is slow and you want to put up a Special Offer until things improve – we show you how to do this.

Normally, we host your Gold Coast business websites for you, so that we can handle the more technical aspects, leaving you to save money by doing the simple stuff yourself.

My thanks to Keith of www.promotionalvideosbrisbane.com for his camera work, post production, and patience (and not necessarily in that order)!  If you are into motorcycle touring, the blog he demonstrates is .  Keith’s website is actually a hobby blog that makes a little income from advertising; if you want a hobby website, knowing how to update it yourself is vital, along with how to interact with vistors.  Business Websites Gold Coast teaches you both.

Here is another example of a website we built:

Top Small Business Website Design Tips for 2018

For Successful Gold Coast Business Websites, “Integrated Website Marketing” is vital – Video 3 of 4.

Integrated Website Marketing involves blending Gold Coast Website Design, YouTube Marketing, Article Marketing, SEO, and  Social Media if applicable.  Unfortunately, these elements come in and out of favour as far as effectiveness is designed.  For example, when I started this business Ezine Articles and MySpace were absolute Powerhouses.  Today, the “powerhouses” have changed, with Google + having been introduced, alongside such giants as Pinterest.

When you are shopping for a new small business website, the website design should ideally include all of these elements that are currently in favour.  Steer clear of website designers who think the job is finished once they build your website – Integrated Website Marketing is vital, and can only start once your Gold Coast Small Business Website is finished.

In addition, we recommend a custom business website template, so that you stand out from other business websites, particularly your competitors.   Any Gold Coast business websites designer should be able to create a unique look for your website.  In fact, here is a little-known fact that you need to know.  The majority of Free Website Themes are free for a reason – they include links to other websites.  Most free themes have links that are innocent enough, usually back to their own business – which is a fair exchange for giving you a free theme.  However, you need to check these links – some go to quite unsavoury websites, including in a small minority of themes, porn sites.

Note:  If you prefer reading, there is a transcript of the video below.

Creating your small business website is a job for a professional Gold Coast business website designer with experience in Integrated Website Marketing; a cheap business website will look – cheap!  We provide affordable website design, with Guaranteed results – and Google Rankings should be a cornerstone of your Business Plan.

While it takes skill to set up Gold Coast business websites initially, day to day website management is simple; we cover that in the next video.

In the meantime, here is another website we have built:

Integrated Website Marketing is vital for Gold Coast Business Websites

 

Transcript of the video:

Integrated website marketing is about getting as much exposure as possible from different sources.

The first source is online video and obviously people love YouTube; people are spending more time on Youtube than Google now so it’s an absolute must-have as part of your integrated marketing plan.

The second one is article directories and there are some very important ones like Ezine articles that will give you traffic from one article for years to come, and the third is social marketing social media like Facebook, MySpace, Twitter etc.

They are important to people under 30, so you need to look at the demographics of who you’re marketing to.  If it’s an Aged Care facility, then social media probably isn’t that important.  If it is iPods, it certainly is important.

We will produce a Youtube video for you and we will guarantee that you will get 1,000 hits on your video within 21 days and that’s as important as a guaranteed top 30 Google ranking, because there’s no point in being on YouTube if no one sees you.

For your article, you can either write it for us if you enjoy that; if you don’t, we will write it for you. We will publish it for you, so we can do all that for you if you wish.  Then there is Social Marketing, and it really depends on what your market, and particularly your age group, is.

We then walk you through a few examples in the video. In the next video, we will look at how simple and easy it is these days to have a WordPress website and why you don’t need to be afraid of the technology anymore.

NOTE:  Things change quickly online.  Ezine Articles and Myspace WERE powerhouses in the past, but not in 2019 (Although articles will always be important, especially on your own website).  Choose what works in whatever marketing climate is right for today.

If you ask any business owner what strategies they use to gain more customers, chances are one of the strategies in their arsenal will be a Video Marketing Campaign. What is video marketing and how can it be used to increase the success of a business?

Video Marketing For Small Businesses Gold Coast

First, understand that Google owns Youtube, so it favours Youtube Video Marketing in its search results. We often get both a Youtube Video AND your Gold Coast Business Website in the Top 20 results. Also, videos can rank in days, whereas websites take several weeks, partly because of the build time.

Video Marketing - Talking Head Video

Don’t be afraid of video marketing. Creating quality videos is easy, as long as you have a camera and, preferably, a good tripod (avoid the “shakes” in your videos). You could show your audience how your product is created or just sit in front of a neutral background to demonstrate your products or talk to your audience.

There is no need to allow your shyness to stop you taking advantage of video marketing strategies. When looking into the camera, talk as though you were talking to an old friend. This is a simple and highly effective way to help yourself get over the discomfort of talking to people you don’t know.

If you are too shy to show your face on the screen, you should try using screen shots to create your Gold Coast Marketing Video. This is a good way to show your users all of the pertinent information you need to without worrying about having to stand in front of a camera.

Video Marketing - Screenshot Videos

Video is a great medium for conveying ideas. This works in business by showing customers what makes your business special. A short video describing your products or highlighting your experience will go a long way to making that sale. Remember to be clear and make any ideas your convey simple to understand so that your Gold Coast video marketing campaign will be a total success.

Video Marketing campaigns allow your customers to get to know you. You could, for instance, record a “deals” video in which you talk about your projects and offer upcoming deals. You can also make your video marketing campaign interactive by answering questions customers regularly send you; this also saves you answering the same questions time and time again.

Do not assume that the salespeople at you company are the ones that will look best in front of the camera. Find the person in the office that has the best smile and have them be the face of the company. No-one has to know whether your company spokesperson is the CEO or the janitor. Also, many people respond better to a non-sales person.

Never try to directly sell your viewers something in your video. Rather, offer visitors something worthwhile, like a “how to” demonstration or tips on using a product. By offering helpful, relevant information, your visitors are more likely to return to your Gold Coast business website, which could eventually result in a sale.

When you create a video for marketing purposes keep it under 2 minutes. If you need a 10 minute video, make it in 5 parts – keeps viewer interest AND boosts your Youtube account!

Video Marketing - Cartoon Video

Cartoon Video

Your Gold Coast marketing videos will become popular if you share them efficiently. You should create an account on YouTube and on other similar sites your audience uses, feature your videos on your site or blog and share them on social networks. If possible, get other bloggers and people who are influential on social networks to share your videos.

You can also interview a prominent business person and share that video as part of your Gold Coast  video marketing strategy. This can not only help you build your client list, but can also help the person you interview build their client list. This type of video marketing can help create credibility and set you apart as an industry leader.

Watch the stats for your video, whether on YouTube or your server. This helps you compare different videos so that you can tell which are successful and which don’t really work. This leads to continual improvements in your Video Marketing Campaign.

When writing a description of your video include your web address at the beginning of the description using proper HTML. This will allow viewer to click the link and be immediately directed to your website. You should also include a description using your primary and alternate keywords for better page ranks.

Of course, there is also an incredibly simple way to improve your business with video marketing – Call Terry on 0468 420 470 and let us create your Video Marketing Campaign for you.

 

Gold Coast Small Business Website Design – Affordable web design from a quality Gold Coast web design company, with a YouTube video included.

Video 2 of 4.  This video discusses Small Business Website Design, using a House as an easy example people can relate to.  Preparation and planning BEFORE you start is essential; just as you would not build a house without plans, neither should build a website without thorough planning.   Check out the video below BEFORE you buy your domain name (we prefer to recommend one for you, usually from several options).  Effectively, your Web Hosting (we can provide it) is the LAND on which you build your house;  the Domain Name is the ADDRESS of your house, and the website is the HOUSE itself.

We also discuss in detail how to setup your Categories to make things as easy as possible for both Google and potential clients.

“Keywords’ are one of the most fundamental parts of your website’s success – the video outlines why, but we also like to have a 10-minute chat on this before we start work.  Get your Keywords wrong – and everything else falls over!  As an example, a website called www.JoeBloggs.com does not tell people what you do, or where your business is located. On the other hand, www.SurfersParadise24hourPlumbing.com tells both Google and your human visitors EXACTLY what your business is about.  Remember, Google serves up 10 results per page and people click through to websites from that list – If your business stands out as exactly what they need, you have a good chance of getting the click.

Our Gold Coast Small Business Website Design company Guarantees a Top 30 Google Ranking, plus we offer 1,000 Guaranteed YouTube views (may take 3-4 weeks).

We also provide REAL PROOF in the video below of successful Google rankings for our Gold Coast Business Websites.  If you prefer reading to watching video, there is a Transcript below.

Your Gold Coast Small Business Website Design package also includes professionally written Articles – a highly affordable element of web design service.  Do business with the ethical Gold Coast website design company that also has the SEO skills to get you highly ranked on both Google and YouTube.

See www.businesswebsitesgoldcoast.com/sample-websites  for sample Gold Coast small business websites.

Here is a Small Business Website Design that worked for a Cairns Beautician wanting break into TV and Movie Makeup, and specialising in Body Art.  Small Business Website Design for a Panel Beater or a Hotel, for example, would need a completely different look.

This is one of our secrets – working with you on a “look” that is right for YOUR business.  This is very important, as we custom design your website, not work from “templates” as other Small Business Website Design Companies do.

To be honest, this look is not my cup of tea – But what the Client wants is always more important than what I think.

Note too the great DomainName we found:  www.CairnsNailsandBeauty.com – there ARE still great domain names out there if you have the expertise we do in finding them.

 

Transcript of the video above:

Websites are like houses – they need firm foundations and they need careful preparation in the planning stage.

There are three major elements that you have to be very careful about.  The first is the URL or domain name that you choose.  If you put a website up like www.JoeBlogs.com, that tells neither Google nor your readers what your website is about.  On the other hand, if you have www.24 houremergency plumbing.com, people know exactly what it’s all about and so do Google.

if you think of your website structure in terms of a filing cabinet – the domain name is the filing cabinet; the drawers within that are what we call categories; and the individual papers (your web pages) have descriptive names.  You have to make sure that your website is harmonious so that it’s it’s all working towards the same purpose.

So for example, if you had a website www.videomarketingservices.com then your categories might be plumbers marketing videos, hairdressers marketing videos, vet marketing videos and so on – all things that work together to enhance the actual domain name itself – then Google and your clients know exactly what your website is about from the mix of those things.

The third thing is your keywords.  You really need to get inside your clients head and say, “okay what would people search for?” Because if you have a great website, but no one ever sees it, then it’s not a great website.  You need to have a website where people search on phrases that you have optimized your website for.

So in our “24 hour emergency plumbing” example, that would be one of your keywords – because if people look for that, they are looking for you in a hurry and they’re looking to buy.  The other thing that you need to look at is that everyone is looking for the latest magic bullet that gets you into the top 30 in Google overnight; there isn’t one.  The secret to Google is very very easy – just give Google what they want.  If you try and fool Google, it may work for a little while but in the long run, it just does not work.

So – good interesting content, that is informative and helpful – that is what will get you high in Google.  So let’s look at what we are going a guarantee for you. First, we will guarantee that you will be in the top 30 results in Google and Yahoo within as little as 60 days, and secondly, we will guarantee that your Youtube video has at least a thousand views within the first 21 days.

In the next video, we look at “Integrated Web Marketing,” where we put together your website, Youtube, articles and social media.

Testimonial

Terry has built two websites for me, getting Multiple Page One Google and Yahoo Listings for both sites within weeks.

His focus on how to get new business for me through high visibility in Google also helped me to identify ways I can attract new clients. His Business Advice was extremely helpful.

But the clincher was Terry's 60-day Money Back Guarantee if he could not get my sites a Top 20 Google Ranking.

Highly recommended.

Testimonial

I can’t thank you enough Terry for being such a solid, consistent, skilled, ethical, generous coach, advisor and tech support whizz person.

I deeply appreciate the work you do and the way in which you do it.

You answer questions I hadn’t thought to ask, offer solutions to problems before they become a problem and take a whole lot of worry and stress out of this project that could otherwise derail me.

Bless you Terry Fisher!
