  • ProAction Camera Systems

    We’ve been working hard with a company in Nottingham who are expanding into the Online Market for Action Camera systems for Cars, Bikes, Surfers, Snowboard nuts and everything inbetween. They stock camera systems to suit every need, from helmet camera systems, motorsport cameras right through to underwater cameras – all in stock and available for delivery via UPS.

    Its a very competitive market, especially online – so we’ve waved the magic SEO wand over their site and made it as search engine friendly as possible. We’ve analyised the market, looked for what people search for, checked the competitors and what we’ve come up with, is www.ProActionCameras.co.uk.

    What they wanted to achieve is something in-between the camera sites out there at the moment, cover both the branded stuff (GoPro Cameras, Contour HD Cameras) right through to the unbranded Chinese camera systems that allow there to be a package suitable for every budget.

    We’re hoping that the site will do really well in the SERP’s, and despite being unfinished (IE Stylesheet, a few other bits) its already looking like its gonna make a mark on the Action Cameras industry!

  • Vehicle Conversions by Source

    We’ve worked with Source for years, and apart from an original website i made for them YEARS ago – they’ve never had a website that truly showed them off in the spotlight they deserve to be under.

    When Paul @ Source rang me saying he wanted to talk about some new websites for both Source Sounds, and Source Conversions i was over the moon!

    Vehicle Conversions, SheffieldOver the last few weeks we have been working on the new website – and its finally live! the website is for a new venture from source, and its called Source Conversions. The company in fact specialises in something source have been doing for years – bespoke vehicle conversions, however now they also specialise in police car conversions, campervan conversions and utility vehicle conversions – to name a few.

    Due to the differences in the services Source Conversions offer, we have built the site so that people are directed straight to the part that is relevant to them – and then contact Source from that very page.

    We’ve used the same wonderful software we always do, and Adam has done a storming job with the layout – all in all i think the new Source Conversions site should help them promote what they do, successfully, to the entire world!

  • Horsing around with Local Business Listings?

    Haha.. i love a good old play on words!

    Over our business life we have met many people, some of them have been great – and some of them have been naaaasssttyyy. We have recently had the pleasure of making a website for the Villa Mar Riding School, Chesterfield. Its a family run operation, and for 18 years have gained a list of satisfied customers longer than both your arms put together – yet for some reason they have been a target of some kind of malicious attack via Google Local Business Listings.

    For those that don’t know, GLBL (Nope, thats just what i call it!) is a way of being found on the internet, for free, in your local area. You sign up, the post you a postcard to ensure you actually live there and if someone types in Riding School Chesterfield in, you get a local business entry smack bang at the top of google!

    SIMPLES!

    GLBL is a fantastic way of promoting yourself – but, it can also be used against you as it has in this case. According to sources, there are a lot of riding schools in the area, and they are all very competitive. And due to the success of Villa Mar they have taken it upon themselves to add nasty reviews on GLBL about the riding school, meaning anyone looking to go there would instantly be put off.

    What do you do if this has happened to you?

    Well in a lot of cases when it comes to internet marketing and promotion – fight fire with fire i say! But as GLBL is so public and is kinda out of anyone’s (apart from the mighty G of course) control – I’d say don’t use fire, but just try and highlight the good things and the positive comments so the bad/spam ones are buried.

    Get all your existing and previous satisfied customers to visit the GLBL review page and add a nice comment and rate it accordingly, and the more good listings you get the higher your overall rating will be, until its back up to its rightful spot near the 5/5 mark 🙂

    You can of course flag the reviews as inappropriate, but I’m afraid if they sound like they could be true then i doubt very much Google will do anything about them as for all they know they could be true – and I’m sure they don’t wish to be responsible for advising someone to go somewhere and them having a terrible experience as a result of it.

    For anyone thinking of trying it on a competitor, don’t bother. There are many ways to overcome your competitors on the internet, do it properly and you will always come out on top.
