Need a hotel near Glencoe – The Crianlarich Hotel is the place to stay

crianlarichWe’ve been given the opportunity to work with  The Crianlarich Hotel near Glencoe and help them with their SEO and Internet marketing.   One of the great things about working with this hotel in particular is because the manager Nigel Bird wants everyone involved in marketing to speak to each other – sounds so simple doesnt it?  But how may times have you managed to get the PR company, website designers and developers, SEO  and  social media guys and the person on the hotel staff responsible all in one room?  Well I can honestly say never, well not until we started working with Nigel. 

The hotel has been under new management for just under a year and gradually the hotel is getting away from the coach party market and into a lovely place to stay for couples, families and small groups of friends.  This time of year they are providing excellent accommodation, drying facilities and warming food to skiiers on Glencoe, not only feeding and watering them but taking them to and from the slopes as well.  The reviews on Trip Advisor just get better and better. 

Our involvement starts soon and we just can’t wait!

New Customer | want your garden or outdoor space designed?

featuredWe are delighted to announce that we are now working with Wendy Matheson of WM Garden Design.  Wendy’s love of all things outdoors led her to retrain as a garden designer a couple of years ago and her passion is obvious once you start going through her website www.wmgardendesign.com and looking at her photo gallery.  We have made the website search engine friendly and will be monitoring its rise up the search engines over the coming months – well that is the plan!

Wendy is not the first garden related website we have worked on, we are still working with Chris Helik from Gordon Brothers Contracting perhaps we should get them together and see what they create? 

Wendy is one half of the owners of Boath House Hotel in Nairn and we are really pleased to say we will be working on their hotel SEO as well….. watch this space for a newly designed and fully search engine friendly website coming soon.

Twitter Search … what search?

Using Twitter is becoming a larger part of our daily business practice, but I find it bizarre that the ‘Twitter Search’ facility on the site is of little or no use at all. 

Twitter is all about building a following and following like-minded people, whether for business or pleasure.  As this is such a core part of the whole Twitter-thing, why is the search facility so poor?  In my opinion, the essential part of connecting with other businesses, is to be able to find them in the first place.

We run an SEO & Internet Marketing business in the Highlands of Scotland and there are not many businesses (in the grand scheme of things) that embrace the whole ’social media’ thing in our area which makes the Twitter’s inability to provide concise search results more frustrating.

However I recently came across an extremely helpful article with tools and tips at Mashable – http://bit.ly/mnQ1g - Have a read if you get the time.

Is Twitter really all that?

Twitter has really come to the fore over the last twelve months, revolutionising the way we communicate and interact with others on the web.  It allows you to ‘follow’ and be ‘followed’ by other like-minded people who will in turn see the 140 character posts (and you theirs) that you can make at anytime.  It has heralded a totally new set of words, abbreviations and subsequent tools which allow use, monitor and manage your account.

A benefit to your business, or just another fad in the confusing world of social media?

Speaking from experience, we have definately got business from Twitter, outsourcing our SEO services to Scottish development & graphic design companies from Ayr to Dundee. It has taken many months to work out just how to focus our Twitter campaign, interacting with potential customers and just being there to help and answer queries that arise daily.

The key is the structure, quality and frequency of your posts  – I have read many articles about using Twitter, in both the newspapers and online, and recently read an article at Search Engine Journal which I think will place any beginner ahead of the game:

I have read many articles on delivery of web projects, how to plan them and who does what in what order. Designers, developers, programmers, SEO’s, they all play a vital part in the delivery of a great site that works.

Recently I came across a great article by Eric Enge at Search Engine Watch putting the case for the SEO … read the article
