If you want your website to achieve a successful ranking with the search engines each page will need to be optimised. This involves modifying the pages to provide the search engines with the information they require in the place they expect to see it.

Although Google is considered to be the most used search engine there are others including; Yahoo, AltaVista, Lycos, MSN, AOL, etc.  Each search engine uses different rules for ranking websites at the top of their search queries. It can be very time consuming to consider all these different rules and variations especially as they change regularly.  This is where we come in. As well as initially optimising your website we can provide you with help, guidance and the tools to allow you to carry on the optimisation process in house helping you continue to achieve an effective search engine ranking.

A lot of businesses spend most of the time marketing their website online and forget to market using traditional methods.  If you have an existing customer base why not let them know about the website by sending a mail shot or email!  A lot of businesses forget about their past customers and spend most of the time looking for new ones. Did you know that you could achieve up to 60% of your future sales from your past customers?

Your website provides your business with access to millions of potential customers and allows easy access to a larger geographical area making it essential that it is marketed effectively whilst presenting the right company image.

The Welsh Government offers a free information and communications technology (ICT) diagnostic review for businesses in Wales. The review would help you identify how you can use ICT more effectively to streamline your business. Tawemedia Ltd are appointed eBusiness consultants currently delivering this programme in conjunction with Mid West Wales Chamber.

During the ICT diagnostic, we will analyse how you use ICT in your business. We will try to identify potential new opportunities for using ICT and, where necessary, make recommendations to help you get more out of your existing systems or upgrade them.

After the review you’ll get an easy-to-understand report which will show clearly:

• any opportunities for improvement
• the anticipated benefits of making the improvement
• the solutions that are available to your business

What does the diagnostic look at?

The diagnostic review will give you an assessment of the following aspects of ICT usage in your business:

• core technologies including network/server architecture
• systems and data security
• software use across the business
• business continuity
• ICT policies
• security issues

The review can also identify opportunities for introducing specific technologies into your business to improve its operations. Some examples of the types of technology that could be considered include:

• client relation management tools
• financial management tools
