You must be willing to do what\u2019s needed to stand out, whether that means adding to or refining your content, pricing, backlinks or marketing strategies. Most prospects realize they can purchase similar products or services from hundreds of providers.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_should_they_choose_yours\"><\/span>Why should they choose yours?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Given the multitude of competing websites, plus the reality that the major search engines have to rank one of you as number 1 and another number 29 and another number 6,145,009 &#8211; which number would you prefer? In many instances, the differences in sites will be minute. Are the prices on your site realistic or just \u2018too good\u2019 to be true? Is number 1 outspending you in ad money, or are they just great at developing websites that perform well on the search engines? <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-1099 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.prolimehost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/twitter-blue-254x300.jpg\" alt=\"Twitter\" width=\"254\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.prolimehost.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/twitter-blue-254x300.jpg 254w, https:\/\/www.prolimehost.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/twitter-blue-512x605.jpg 512w, https:\/\/www.prolimehost.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/twitter-blue.jpg 542w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 254px) 100vw, 254px\" \/><span style=\"color: initial; font-size: revert;\">A search engine result, or SERP, is a measure of the quality of a provider.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Perhaps, number 1 employs strategies to develop good backlinks, consistently writes and shares value-add content, possesses great social networking skills, successfully tweaks keywords to maximize keyword density and thousands of members follow them on Twitter.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Standing_apart\"><\/span>Standing apart<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Standing apart can be a good thing or a bad thing. You want to be memorable for all the <strong>right reasons<\/strong>. The providers that stand out for me are those that are honest. You can\u2019t please everyone, so it\u2019s always best to manage your prospect\u2019s expectations. They\u2019ll appreciate your honesty. Don\u2019t be fooled by the economy. There are plenty of folks out there looking to buy, but very few looking to be sold to. <strong>Integrity<\/strong> goes a long way in any industry, helping to build long lasting business partnerships that survive the ups and downs of the market. Become the ultimate professional, offering business class solutions.<\/p>\n<h3><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-1100 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.prolimehost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/Time-for-success-300x175.jpg\" alt=\"tips for success\" width=\"300\" height=\"175\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.prolimehost.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/Time-for-success-300x175.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.prolimehost.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/Time-for-success-512x298.jpg 512w, https:\/\/www.prolimehost.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/Time-for-success.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>I\u2019m always asked if I have any tips on how to stand out in a good way, and NOT in a bad way.<\/h3>\n<p>This depends on your products and services. You need to differentiate your firm in a good way by emphasizing the value of your services, how it will provide real solutions for your prospect that will sustain the test of time.<\/p>\n<p>There are countless ways to do this. I love <strong>video testimonials<\/strong> and case studies, but sadly, most hosting providers have neither of these.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Online_versus_hands_on_experiences\"><\/span>Online versus hands on experiences<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>I think standing out, especially in the web hosting industry, starts with the online experience and ends with the hands-on experience. Offer your visitors a clean, intuitive and attractive interface with which to conduct business and treat them like royalty when they come to you with questions and concerns, and you can&#8217;t lose.<\/p>\n<h3><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-1101 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.prolimehost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/website-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"website promotion\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.prolimehost.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/website-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.prolimehost.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/website-512x341.jpg 512w, https:\/\/www.prolimehost.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/website.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>To start out, your website needs to be unique, intuitive, value-add and compelling.<\/h3>\n<p>I see so many websites that look like clones of every site I\u2019ve just left, and amazingly, way too many with minimal content. Contrast that with sites that attempt to overwhelm you with industry buzzwords that simply confuse the everyday visitor to your site. A confused prospect never buys.<\/p>\n<p>And if all you have on your site is <strong>specifications<\/strong> and pricing, how is that compelling your visitors to take action? \u00a0Or just the opposite, no pricing whatsoever. When I walk into a store with no price tag, I turn around and walk right back out, but maybe that\u2019s just me.<\/p>\n<h4><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-51\" src=\"https:\/\/www.prolimehost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2014\/08\/unnamed-e1408122780935.jpg\" alt=\"ProlimeHost\" width=\"400\" height=\"80\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.prolimehost.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2014\/08\/unnamed-e1408122780935.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.prolimehost.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2014\/08\/unnamed-e1408122780935-300x60.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/h4>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"BROUGHT_TO_YOU_BY_PROLIMEHOST\"><\/span>BROUGHT TO YOU BY PROLIMEHOST<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>We\u2019ve been in the web hosting industry for over a decade, helping hundreds of clients succeed in what they do best and that\u2019s running their business.
