    Search Traffic and Mobile

    The technical answer wouldn't be that it doesn't necessarily increase traffic, but it would increase conversions. There's really no way around developing a site which is readily accessible on all devices, these days. So if your business is coming from the web, you need to consider it. Ensuring...

    New Website

    I'll add my tuppence ha'penny. In finding a new web agency to work with, I would recommend going through personal recommendation, or secondly a local community organisation like the Chamber of Commerce. Those are reliable. Failing that Google "web designer " + your location and choose a...

    Blogs=SEO?

    Hi there, First thing is, if you're going to have a blog, it must be on your own site and not in a subdomain for it to be effective. So getting one on Blogger would be a huge waste of your time and resources. Second thing, I'm with Weblink plus, I would only get into it if you can do at least a...

    Should I Use a review plug-in (Feefo, Trustpilot) for my new jewellery website?

    My recommendation would be to find a space for your Trustpilot widget and then fill it with something else for the first few months. Then, during that period, incentivise your customisers (discount on next purchase etc) to leave you a review. that way, you'll soon have enough to make it look...

    Google PPC for a service rather than a product?

    Works fine for wedding photography, we've run a number of such campaigns. Phone tracking is important, so you can optimise to conversion. And yes it takes time and effort to get your money back. But with a good wedding photographer charging several thousand for a day, it's not too hard.

    SEO conundrum

    Yes, I would take all the SEO metrics with a huge pinch of salt. There are contributory factors far beyond what anyone can process. However, the fact that you've got a link to the page and they haven't may be one factor..... Give it an internal link from your own homepage on keyword and see what...

    Which SEO company would you recommend?

    If you see my LinkedIn page I have a recommendation from the head of ecommerce at Waterstones. Happy to do SEO for you and I'm quite reasonably priced.

    How much do/would you pay for content?

    Chelios has it. Around £20-25 per 500 (we pay £22.50) is the norm for a writer of moderate calibre who can knock out reasonable blog posts. Personally, I am horrified by how little writers are paid now, it's one of the saddest things about what the internet has done. PHD's and poets are...

    £16 per click

    As mentioned, £16 is nothing. And don't forget CPC rises due to the level of competition. So if it wasn't profitable, no one would be doing it!
