you\u2019re an online shopper.\u00a0You\u2019re on the hunt for VPS services, possibly managed. You start your search on Bing by typing \u201cVPS services\u201d, and your search returns over 4 million results. What are the odds Yuan will look beyond the first ten results? Pretty slim! What if he typed in \u201cmanaged VPS services?\u201d Hey, we\u2019re down to 1.3 million results. Maybe he\u2019ll check out the first two pages of results.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Local_relevance_is_important\"><\/span>Local relevance is important<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>What if Yuan was looking for an optimized Internet connection for that VPS service? What if he lives in the USA, but his target demographic is Asia and he queried Bing for, \u201cmanaged VPS service providers Los Angeles?\u201d Not only will his search query be reduced to 444,000 results, the odds increase dramatically that he\u2019ll search through more results to find the services that matches his requirements. He\u2019s now very focused.<\/p>\n<p>What if you were selling managed VPS services out of Los Angeles? Would Yuan find your site? Possibly, but not necessarily. Is the verbiage, managed VPS services Los Angeles anywhere on your site? Is your site indexed properly?<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_your_site_in_a_good_Internet_neighborhood\"><\/span>Is your site in a good Internet neighborhood?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Internet neighborhoods are very much like real life neighborhoods. Ask your friend where to find a good flat screen TV and I guarantee you that they (probably) won\u2019t send you to a guy who is selling them out of the back of a truck. They\u2019re going to point you to a reputable store. As well, it\u2019s in the search engines best interests to point you to the most relevant websites. They have billions in advertising dollars resting on their recommendations.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_could_land_your_website_in_a_bad_neighborhood\"><\/span>What could land your website in a bad neighborhood?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Using <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.hubspot.com\/marketing\/black-hat-seo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">blackhat SEO techniques<\/a> jumps to the front of the line for bad neighborhoods, followed very closely by allowing links back to spammers. If you\u2019re running a blog or forum, be sure to moderate the comments and weed out the ones linking to obvious spammers.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Power_of_the_Internet\"><\/span>The Power of the Internet<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The Internet has leveled the playing field for many small and medium sized businesses, including web hosting providers. It\u2019s not uncommon for many many more visitors to find you online than could ever find your brick &amp; mortar location. Just as that sign on the front of your business and the landscaping surrounding your location is meant to draw walk-in prospects, your website is very much the online face of your business or organization.<\/p>\n<p>Your goal should be to make the best possible impression with each and every visitor. Following some very simple basics will help tremendously.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Visual_Guidelines\"><\/span>Visual Guidelines<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s best to select a color theme that supports your site\u2019s goals without overwhelming your visitors (simple and pleasing versus busy and cluttered).<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Navigational_Guidelines\"><\/span>Navigational Guidelines<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Make it easy to get from Point Query to Point Buy.

Add a touch of personality, but retain consistency across the entire site. Emphasize what makes your business unique.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Graphics_and_Text\"><\/span>Graphics and Text<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The right mix of graphics and text is important. Long unbroken blocks of text will send visitors fleeing for the exits. Too many graphics may impair the search engines ability to index your site. You need a balance of graphics and text to make your site visually compelling.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Attention_to_Detail\"><\/span>Attention to Detail<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Broken links and poor grammar give the impression that your business is less than professional.
