The Future is Now

Years ago having a website was optional. Today it's a given. Customers are increasingly using their mobile devices to visit your website. They are more comfortable with the technology and demand more website features.

85% of mobile phones sold in 2011 were web enabled.*

Many of these web-enabled phones render the full website on their small screen. Users zoom in and out to read portions of the web page. While it's an impressive solution from the manufacturers' point of view, for the customers it can be a frustrating experience. They have to resize the site to read different sections, and can have a hard time using small buttons that are intended for interaction with a mouse rather than for a finger on a touchscreen.

25% of web users are mobile only*

It's now possible to easily address these frustrating user interface issues thanks to advances in the field of website design. While in the past it was necessary to have a separate mobile version of the site, it's now easy to maintain one site that serves many needs. The solution is a responsive website.

What is a responsive website? 

A responsive website changes its appearance and layout based on the size of the screen the website is displayed on. Responsive sites can be designed to make the text on the page larger and easier to read on smaller screens. They can also be configured to make the buttons on the phone's screen easier to press. More sophisticated ways of using responsive design on a mobile device include: formatting the website to hide or present entirely different information, radically changing the graphics and colors, or even reducing the site to emphasize just its most important piece.

Responsive websites aren't a costly investment.

In many cases an existing website can be upgraded. Call today Call (801) 657-3577

If it has been more than 2 years since you refreshed your website, it's time to start thinking about an overhaul. Content Management Systems are much more robust than they were several years ago, and provide many new features for you and your users. Content Management Systems also empower you to make changes to the site's content without extensive knowledge of HTML. In addition, some older features are becoming outdated. If your site uses Flash, many phones don't currently support it, meaning that customers won't be able to see your content. Adobe, the manufacturer of the Flash platform just laid off 750 employees and is shuttering one of their divisions responsible for the development of Flash for mobile devices.

Mobile Web Design Utah - Mobile Websites for your Business

FAQ for your Mobile Websites

What is the difference between a regular site and a mobile optimized site?

A regular website is usually designed for viewing on a desktop computer. When 

viewed on a smaller mobile device, the user experience isn't that great as certain 

elements from the site might not appear or may not function optimally. Mobileoptimized sites solve this problem by creating a version of the website that 

specifically designed to look great on all mobile phones. In addition, mobile
websites may also include features that take advantage of the advanced
capabilities of a mobile phone such as a click-to-call button that, when clicked,
places a call.

What are the benefits of having a mobile optimized site?

The main benefit of a mobile optimized site is providing a great overall website 

experience to your mobile users. With over 70 million Americans and 58 million 

Europeans browsing websites from their phone every month, it has become a 

necessity to provide a quality mobile experience and provide quick access to 

information about your business. A mobile optimized site also helps convert 

mobile traffic to customers by using special mobile website features like Click-toCall and Mobile Maps with Directions.

Which mobile devices are supported?

All mobile devices with an HTML-enabled browser that supports CSS and

JavaScript are supported. This includes the iPhone, Android phones, some

Blackberry devices, and Windows mobile

How do people find my mobile website?

When a user types in the URL of your regular website on their phone, they will be

automatically redirected to your mobile site.

What’s the difference between a mobile app and a mobile website?

A mobile app is a native software application that can be downloaded and 

installed on the user’s smartphone. Mobile apps can include some interesting 

features, such as push notifications.

A mobile website is a smartphone-friendly version of your website. The mobile 

site will have large easy to tap button, and content that is formatted to fit correctly
on a mobile screen. This way your customers don’t have to pinch and zoom to

find what they’re looking for. This website will display automatically when someone tries to access your site from a smartphone. No downloads necessary.

Which is better, a mobile app or a mobile website?

A mobile app can be an interesting marketing solution, as they can have

additional functionality that mobile websites do not, but they are typically more 

expensive and they do not negate the need for a mobile friendly website.

Customers looking for business information from a mobile phone want quick 

access to the business hours, phone number, and location. If they can't easily

find that from the mobile website, they'll move on to the next one. A mobile 

website instantly connects your customers with the information they are looking 

for. The majority of mobile searches for local businesses are from consumers 

who are looking to buy immediately. If you're searching for Chinese food from 

your mobile phone, you're probably looking to order Chinese food.

Mobile apps must be downloaded and installed, which is an extra step that most 

potential customers just won't take when they're casually browsing businesses or 

just looking for quick info on the go.

Native apps are mostly useful for existing customers, who already know and like 

your brand enough to want to install the app on their phone. The app provides 

the ability for returning customers to view specials, push notifications, and 

company info, but it isn't useful for the casual new customer who isn't familiar 

with your business. If a company creates a mobile app, they should still have a 

mobile friendly website. Besides, they're usually much cheaper.

Is there some sort of hosting or maintenance fee?

Yes, the monthly fee is $150 per year. This includes the mobile hosting, and mobile updates, ensuring your customers constantly have the best experience.

Local Optimization

Local search is any search aimed at finding something within a specific geographic area. It is the consumer seeking information online with the intention of making a transaction offline. These results are usually located towards the top of Google with the letters A-G located next to them. This section is considered by many to be the phone book of today. This is a must for all business yet much more effective for a brick and mortar business.

Organic Optimization

An organic search is a type of search that generates natural results that were not paid advertisements. Many customers feel that these results are a more accurate reflection of what they might want when searching for a specific phrase, because of their relevance to the search terms. The intention of the consumer using the organic search results is that of doing more research for relevant websites tailored to their search terms for shopping, finding information, to verify credibility, or almost anything else that you could possibly want to find out more about. The biggest advantage of Organic Search as opposed to Local Search is the use of optimizing the website under multiple search terms (local is limited to 5) and not being confined to your 

geographic area.

SEO in 2013: 7 Surprisingly Simple Factors That Will Take The Lead

Posted on January 14, 2013 by Jayson DeMers | 1 comment

The views of contributors are their own, and not necessarily those of SEJ.This time of year is suitable for retrospection. We’re able to take a good look at how things played out in 2012, and get an idea of the trends and patterns that are most likely to dominate the coming year.








2012 was rough for SEO experts due to radical changes in Google’s algorithms, including many updates to Panda, as well as the the introduction of Penguin. While content quality and inbound links continue to play major roles in organic rankings, let’s take a look at the other factors that will govern SEO in 2013.


2012: The Year of Pandas and Penguins, Creating Value, and the Emergence of Guest Posting


Before we dive into predictions for SEO next year, let’s recap the major patterns of 2012.

• 
  Though originally released in 2011, Google’s Panda algorithm went through multiple updates that kicked many low-quality websites out of the SERPs; tens of thousands of websites were affected.

• 
  Google released its Penguin algorithm in April 2012, which changed the face of the industry, forcing many SEOs to adapt their tactics and strategies. Many companies that had engaged in Penguin-unfriendly SEO tactics were dropped from the search results due to Penguin, and companies that continued to engage in these tactics saw their rankings disappear, often without any warning.

• 
  Google got much smarter, to the extent that it appears to be able to distinguish between content that adds real value and content that has been posted solely for SEO purposes. “Value” became an important subconscious factor — one that will dictate how Google perceives websites.

• 
  Guest blogging emerged to become a very popular method of building credible links. Tactics and methods for acquiring guest blog links surfaced across the industry.

• 
  Negative SEO became a hot topic of debate, to the extent that Google responded by launching the Disavow Link tool, which empowers webmasters to specify backlinks that should be discarded or discounted by Google when it evaluates links to their website.

• 
  Of the exploited SEO methods that were ousted and devalued, anchor text over-use was the most prominent. Remnants of websites that used “paid links” were kicked out too.

2013: The 7 Factors That Will Determine Your Survival in SEO


If it were up to me, I’d simply focus on creating value for the reader — because ultimately, that should be the goal of any website. However, increasing competition may require you to employ strategic practices in a pragmatic approach to assist your rise to the top of the SERPs. Here are the tactics and strategies that will dominate the SEO landscape in 2013.


1. Quality of Content


Ultimately, it all comes down to the quality and value of the content on your website. Google has been very explicit this year about good-quality content, and we expect this trend to carry over into next year in full force. By content quality, the metrics are:

• 
  uniqueness of the content/topic


• 
  resourcefulness and information richness (i.e., no thin content)

2. Content Marketing


Content marketing is being touted as the next big thing. Experts have called it the new SEO. To an extent, this is true. As a general rule, content marketing attracts backlinks, and adds value for the user/reader. It is more challenging, because you have to generate more content of high quality, circulate it, and make sure your content gets published widely with ample social signals to generate substantial SEO value.


Since Google takes valuable content seriously, a solid content marketing strategy will be the key to climbing to the next level in SEO.


3. AuthorRank


AuthorRank has emerged as a vital metric in deciding SERPs, although studies about its value are still ongoing. One thing that we can be sure of in 2013 is that AuthorRank will add credibility and value to your website, and it will be vitally important for every webmaster.


4. Social Signals


After much debate and discussion, social signals have largely been accepted as valid ranking factors. In the next year (and probably in the years to follow), social signals will play a growing role. Shares, retweets, mentions, and perhaps most importantly, +1s are trophies every webmaster should be amassing.


5. Mobile/Responsive Design


Although this does not directly influence the ranking of a page, it will play a role in your fortunes. Google was one of the first companies to become aware of this trend in web browsing due to the growing presence of tablets and smartphones. Responsive design may not be an explicit SEO factor, but in terms of usability, it is likely to be a highly influential element to consider in 2013.


6. Localization


Google’s growing preference for local websites and information has become evident in many searches. It’s safe to assume 2013 we’ll witness an increase in this preference. Websites that apply local SEO will enjoy higher rankings and visibility. This includes map data, listings, citations, and reviews on local information sites.


7. Media


Images and videos have become staples on the Internet. We’ve consistently seen that relevant results that include videos get ranked higher than text-only content. The further emergence of media content is an important development you can expect next year. It’s becoming essential to add relevant non-textual media to text content, because this adds value and makes the content more resourceful.


The above are some of the major trends or patterns that I believe will play a key role in SEO for 2013. What other factors do you think may influence SEO?
