So you wish to have a flash site, great! However, for a small businesss costs are a key factor and getting noticed on the search engines imperative to keep costs down – ie. organic over paid listing.
Browserweb.com was approached by a new client that found us through google search and we designed the flash site and that was phase I. We strongly recommended a html version of the web site and the client listened and decided to invest in our advice. We designed a html version of the site, optimized content and submitted the sitemaps to the various search engines and waited…of course Yahoo was there fast and then the client wrote asking about google. Yesterday I received the following email:
4th page on google under “profesional makeup artist in houston”, #1 on google msn live and yahoo with “professional makeup artist in sugar land!!

So it’s all about keyword and content and how you decide to publish it! Even though it may not have millions of hits for those particular keywords, a small business does not require millions of visitors, just a good visibility on the net should help localize their services and potential inquiries. Remember, this is not the end of SEO/SEM, it’s just the very first step to get your web site noticed! Oh and yeah, a graphically stunning web site helps too!
