When I decided that my soap making company needed to have more of a web presence, I hired a local web company to build me a brand new interactive site that would help boost my sales and allow me to sell outside of my area. In fact, I was hoping to be able to sell my natural soaps and lotions worldwide.

The company that I hired to do the website came recommended and the site that they created for me was exactly what I had envisioned.  It was aesthetically pleasing and easy to navigate.  They had even “suped” it up by using local search optimization techniques to maximize my ranking in Google and other search engines.

But I notice after a couple of weeks I wasn’t getting any orders through the website. I decided to get into contact with a local Tampa website marketing company to see if there was anything else I could to do increase my web presence.

When I met with a representative for the company, we sat down and she looked at my website.  While there was indeed some SEO work done on it in the background, it was minimal.  After talking for about 20 minutes I realized that there was so much more that I could do to help direct traffic to my site, including building links with other websites and press release optimization.

I hired that Tampa SEO company and since they have worked their magic I am getting almost as many online orders as I do in store.
