The presentation was at a weekly morning meeting with the Northern Business Network of Traverse City, or NBNTC. Visit http://nbntc.com for more information about this local, professional, networking group.
This presentation was a 10 minute introduction to the first steps of getting your name or your brand, or both, out into the ‘World Wide Web.’ That term is not really used any more, and the ‘www’ portion of a URL can usually be ‘stripped’ — and is actually called a “naked domain.”
So save yourself some time and go naked (with your domain).
Example, http://contractorsyoucantrust.com is shorter than http://www.contractorsyoucantrust.com — and your websites should work both ways as well.
The number one thing you can do to increase your web presence, and in today’s terms that equates to “Google Juice,” is to get a Google Account and use it to the full extent of its inherent ability.
1) Google-fy. Or “Get Your Google On!”
2) Your personal information matters
3) control what you can control
4) Be Transparent
In conclusion, give it a try. Setup a gmail account with yourname@gmail.com and fill out the profile completely. Be sure to claim or owner-verify, then utilize Google Places; complete every possible content field that relates to your business.
If it all seems like more than you want to tackle, give Deward Knapp a call @ Contractorsyoucantrust.com — 877-858-7878 — or use our contact form to leave a message.

From Wikipedia:
Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of improving the visibility of a website or a web page in search engines via the “natural” or un-paid (“organic” or “algorithmic”) search results. In general, the earlier (or higher ranked on the search results page), and more frequently a site appears in the search results list, the more visitors it will receive from the search engine’s users. SEO may target different kinds of search, including image search, local search, video search, academic search,[1] news search and industry-specific vertical search engines.
What does SEO mean to local business owners? It means that the effort you put into your website itself should be optimized to get results naturally. It takes continued effort and understanding of search engines. This is why your SEO campaign is never complete. Continue reading Find a Local SEO Contractor – Local Search Engine Optimization
