Also add a Facebook PAGE, and use Twitter as some of those sites Page Rank (which is high) CAN be passed onto YOUR business as well.
Join Linkedin too and other professional business related networks inline with what you do. |

Patrick makes good policies to follow and I agree.
One FATAL mistake MANY businesses make as I have seen over and over for well - Over 15 years is USING YOUR EMAIL address in business cards, media, etc.. Emails are transient for the most part. An email address you use TODAY which is getting SPAMMED to death generally ends up being removed and a new one created. Now the question is - What are you going to do with ALL those business cards, printed materials, and Associate/affiliate sites where you already published a now outdated Email? Exactly - You are NOT going to have an easy month of your time fixing things (even if you can fix them)... NOT a good idea and I have seen this time and time again for even some of the TOP businesses in America (used to host some of them)... Get them to YOUR website, as you can always Change your Contact forms Email address anytime you need to do it. Of course Writing your email address in Plain Text at your site (or anywhere) is an open invitation to SPAMMERS and the Penile Implant messages you ARE going to get if you do so.. Personally, I do not need a Penile Implant (but thanks for asking)... My wife's opinion may vary |

Check your website analytics to see who's paying the most attention to you now, how they got there and what terms they used to find you. That can tell you where to focus your marketing efforts.

Yep, Sprockets is right. You have web analysis stats available via Google Webmasters account services, as well as at your Domain based site (sub domains may not have these).
When starting out you should review these critically once every week or two. Make notes of changes if you added pages, updated existing ones from the previous two week period. You can see where you are getting the most traffic from, the location it is coming from (geo location), Keywords people are using to get there, and the most popularly viewed pages of your site/listing. And more (depends on your sites stats program).. The Keywords people use the most CHANGE pretty often so you need to be resilient and keep up to date with what YOUR consumers seem to be looking for. http://www.google.com/insights/search/ is a free Google Keyword search to find what is popular with searchers as it pertains to YOUR business model. |

Nothing beats free website traffic. Good places to start are free directory websites;
Bing Local, Yahoo! Local, yellowpages.com, merchantcircle.com, yellowbook.com, yellowbot.com, manta.com, (obviously), citysearch.com, superpages.com, MapQuest, whitepages.com, facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, foursquare, switchboard and kudzu. If you want to know how your website is seen by search engines, we offer a free webscan on our website; http://www.wsibenefits.com This will give you insight as to the strengths and weaknesses of your sight, and help you make an informed decision on what improvements to address for better ranking. I hope this helps! George |

Those places - George are all great places to start of course.
Google just changed their algo again (when aren't they)? NOW Google is starting to NOT use Keywords at all for searches. Never did use Keyword meta tags recently anyway, but this is now a totally Different Ball Game for SEO pros and HOW and WHERE you add your business listings within. Google is starting to do a Content Based type of indexing of listings. The more content, and the Fuller Richer it is - The better. Adding your business listing to MOST of those Free or paid for Classifieds services, or even those so called High PRV pay for type services will do you LITTLE to no good any longer in Google UNLESS you are allowed to add at least 150 Full Rich words of text, include photos in page, Video in page, and other elements Google IS NOW looking for (so that it appears it was created by YOU and custom tailored about your business)... So In other words Paying someone to add your listing to their High PRV ranked site is always Good, but; ONLY if that listing at the site contains the needed HTML elements Google WILL be looking for in the morning. They essentially are Looking for Great Meaningful full Rich CONTENT and not so much the PRV ranking of where that content came from (as it should be)... That is essentially how I read it from my various Pro webmasters/SEO News Channels as of Today.. I have to wonder though HOW Google will deal with the millions of business listings in places like the White Page, Yellow pages, and other sources George mentions in his posting which have a Minimal Listing (maybe a short blurb/paragraph)... |
