    Google Business/Places

    Also, on the maps on Google Pages, some businesses are big red boxes and visible from further out, than the others which are small red dots and only visible when zoomed further in. So, how does one become a big red box rather than a wee red dot?

    Thanks for the solid advice guys. I won't be offering a walk-in business, it will all be done remotely. But with the option to hire meeting rooms for clients, etc. Fisicx - that was a spine chilling statement to end your post! haha. Do explain? Should I invest in some Home Alone methods to...

    Sharing backlinks with each other

    Newb help!

    You can DIY SEO to a reasonably good standard if you follow the abundance of online guides (make sure they're recent though). Some are much easier to understand than others, although I'd suggest breaking it down into 2 major sections; on-site SEO and off-site SEO. Also start reading up about...

    Google Business/Places

B) I don't want to reveal my home address for...

    Google PPC for a service rather than a product?

    Boring-Friday, can you describe in more detail what you mean? Do you mean, just optimise the website on-page and off? This is proving a long and arduous affair, so I'm focusing on PPC as a quick-fix for traffic (it's prime time for booking weddings right now). But you guys have given me food...

    I guess the lessons are the same regardless - write compelling, useful content and people will stay longer = better rankings.

    Google Analytics impact on SEO

    So, I could make my website have loads of annoying pop-up's which then stop the user from logging off quickly... boom! Job done :P Okay, I think it's something worth considering and looking into.

    Google Analytics impact on SEO

    Hi, I was just looking at Google Analytics and was wondering a few things that maybe you guys can clear up; Do things like bounce rate and time browsing the site impact SEO? Surely if customers aren't hanging around on a page, it's a sign to Google that it's not a quality site? I've been...

I was hoping to hire for this due to being time-poor, however in the long-run, I'll save loads doing it myself. One question though... is the sources above able to...
